I am thankful for:

Oliver is thankful for:
  • Mommy's make-up brushes (they make excellent toys!)
  • Balloons
  • Hot Chocolate (we are not above letting Oliver join in the holiday festivities!)
  • Mini Marshmallows ("two!" for each time he goes potty in the toilet)
  • The spaces in between his toes (he could examine them for hours)

  • The bath Ryan gave her yesterday which makes us all like her a bit more
  • Leftovers

"Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
The Lord builds up His people; He gathers the outcasts of the land.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of stars; He gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
His understanding is beyond measure.
The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God!
Praise the Lord, O you chosen ones!
Praise your God, O you people!"
Psalm 147:1-7,12
