Giving Thanks!

With another Thanksgiving and almost another whole year under out belts, here are a few things we're thankful for:

For holidays spent with family, live or via Skype.

For the growing grin that comes from watching your child strategically eat around everything but the pumpkin pie.
For pleasantly warm winters (that drive you northerners down to us) and for big beaches where toddlers can stretch their legs.

For Sidney's fantastically gravity-defying hair. And little Velcro bows to stick in it.

For Poppy, and ALL the grandparents, who are willing to "go under again!" as many times as it takes to keep Ben smiling.

For conveniently packaged baby food. For wet wipes and Oxyclean. For living in these messy moments, and for all the happy chaos that's just around the corner.

And for old toys that are new again.
