I love my laptop. Today I'm thankful for it. After my computer fiasco last month, D was so sweet to research my now very cool Sony laptop. Of course, I should mention that upon handing it to me he did happen to mention, "oh, yeah, Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday." But, that's ok. I am…
This windy fall-like weather has me thinking and feeling that I should be thankful for it, but many who know me know that I'd take a steamy, hot, humid, flip-flop-wearing day over a day like this – anytime. I did, however, happen to be facing out the window when I was doing some interneting this morning and noticed my…

Today I'm ever so thankful for family. So glad my mom and younger brother came for a surprise visit and were able to join the festivities of Halloween and N's violin recital. I love that whenever I see my family we're right back into our groove as if we'd seen each other just the…
I am thankful today for the violin. N has learned and grown so much since taking up the violin just last year. I'm thankful that he's got a great interest in it and that I am able to share in his learning process. His violin instructor is so patient and so thorough. I can't imagine our lessons with anyone else! I'm thankful…
My favorite Halloween pic: My mom (and brother) drove in from Texas to treat (not trick) the kids with a suprise visit for Halloween! Grammy had a ball trick-or-treating with them, something she'd never done before! The rest of my Halloween pics are here. ♥
