Thursday Thankful Round-Up

I have so much to be thankful for this week...

• Chris's cousin's little girl who was recently diagnosed with leukemia is responding to treatments.
• My mother-in-law took all 4 of the kids for the entire day last Friday, which enabled Chris and I to get everything ready for Bethany's birthday without having to stop every 2.5 minutes to get someone a snack or change a diaper.
• Bethany and her friends had fun at her birthday party Saturday night.
• Bethany's from scratch funfetti peace sign cake came out good.
• We had a nice family birthday dinner for Bethany on Sunday.
• A lovely day at the pool on Monday with lots of friends.
• Dinner with my friends Tuesday night (sans children).
• Perfect weather yesterday for an afternoon downtown at the Detroit RiverFront, even though it was supposed to storm all day.
• Fifty cent rides on the People Mover.
• Two kind men at the Renaissance Center who helped the kids in our group who were reluctant to get on the escalator.
• Mattie is now saying her name.
• There are still 12 days before the kids go back to school.

What are you thankful for this week?
