On being thankful...

1. The 01015 code that gets me 17 Eurocents a minute to talk to my deployed hubby.
2. Huey's teachers at his kindergarten, for their patience with Huey and me and our language barriers.
3. For the opportuities that we have to see Europe while we are living here. Every day is an adventure.
4. Here, here to whoever said that they are thankful for melting snow!
5. For the fabulous German flower shops.
6. For the fabulous German bakeries
7. For my brother finally heading in the right direction after dropping out of college last year
8. Digital camera technology and my itty bitty Canon Elph. I can take it everywhere, in my pocket.
9. Even though Andie only gives me about 20-30 minutes to workout at the gym before she freaks and wants only Mama in the daycare room, I'm thankful for that 20-30 minutes of time to exercise and reflect. And I'm thankful for the sweet lady who watches the kids while I work out, Susanna. Quinlan loves her and she's teaching him some German.
10. For my Nanny Flo and the memoirs that she is writing about her life.

oooh, I just found your blog tonight! I want to sit and read it for hours, but alas...I'm soooo tired I cannot stay awake!! I'll be back!!!
But before I nod off I'll share what I'm thankful for:
*...our content little happy home
*...simple pleasures
*...baby #3...a day overdue now....
*...a good night's sleep
*...friends
Good night!!!

Today, I am thankful:
For possibility. That every time the phone rings or the little "ding" goes off when email arrives, it could be anybody.
For libraries. I love that I can read about books on friends' blogs, order them online from my library and then go get them. Free of charge. Right now I'm reading Traveling Mercies. I'm grateful to you for that Ali :)
For Barnes & Noble. Endless entertainment for me and my girls. With coffee :)
For my ipod. Makes me feel cool - like my life has a personal soundtrack and I can carry it with me everywhere.
For Madelyn reading. Such a miraculous process. I helped out in her class today, and so many of her classmates aren't "there" yet. I'm grateful that this has come relatively easy to her. The world is so much bigger for her than it was before.
For bedtime. Which it is now, for the girls :)

Hi Ali!
This couldn't have been a more perfect time for this! I just spent 2 months on a jury in a murder trial of a young girl killed by her "best friends"... needless to say I am thankful for our justice system and my precious family and friends.
