November is a month of gratitude.  A little gratitude can soften the hardest of hearts. Why not add more gratitude in our lives?  I'll jump on that bandwagon. Ian says, "I'm thankful for friends." (and then added "Can I go play with friends Right Now ?") Landon says, "I'm thankful for being nice." Then clarified, "I'm thankful for me being nice." (Me too kid.) Charlie doesn't talk but he is thankful he gets Daddy and Grandpa time today building our wood shed. I'm thankful for a husband and father in law who work hard in all aspects of life. I'm thankful for resources and generosity of others that allow us to have what we need and live within our means. (Our wood shed when finished should hold 6 cords of wood and we'll have it all built for under $250 *hopefully* and there's a cool story about the shed that will be another post.)

...Been in 4 places at once? Yeah...me either.  For Balentimes day the hubster got a hotel room at this place we've always seen but never been to .

Oy... talk about conflicted.  We were only 30 minutes away so it was really hard to just let them take care of him.  But grateful for the time with the hubby. We even took dorky pictures to verify our dork status: (I'm not so good at the take pictures of yourself thing- I blame it on short arms...) We even had a chauffeur for the getaway...  low. ri. der.  Self-portraits at sunset.    We spent the day in Farmington shopping and getting ideas for the house. ...

My brother in law just got home from Afghanistan! Thanks for all you do! Glad you're home :)
