30 Days of Thanksgiving- Week 3

Sat Nov 17- Thankful for a FREE day!
  **On this day, Matt was able to watch Caylee ALL day while I went to Ft Wayne to do some shopping, have lunch and get my hair cut.  I LOVE being able to stay home with Caylee and RARELY let anyone watch her.  However, it's nice that they could spend the day together and that I could have some time to myself.  I think everyone had a good day!!

Sun Nov 18- Thankful for a NEW bed!
  **That's right... FINALLY... we were able to get a new mattress.  Not just any mattress either, a KING mattress.  At first I was worried because it's memory foam with an extra plush pillow top.  I don't usually like memory foam, but I LOVE this bed.  My back has been feeling SO much better when I wake up- and a KING bed is awesome!!

Mon Nov 19- Thankful for sunrises!
  **Our bedroom window isn't facing directly East, but it's enough so that I can see the sunrise each morning.  Sunrises are great because often times that is the only sun you get to see all day.  It's deceiving because they are so pretty, but by mid-morning/afternoon-ish the sun has disappeared behind the clouds and the sky is grey again.  But the sunrises are GORGEOUS!

Tues Nov 20- Thankful for flu shots.
  **Yep, I know, it's weird.  But my mom always made us get our flu shot and now I am very thankful for that.  I can't imagine being that sick with a little one, so at least I can be protected now and hopefully not get anything!!

Wed Nov 21- Thankful for Caylee's Dr's.
  **Caylee had another ear infection-- this time a double ear infection.  We kinda figured something was up when she stopped sleeping well and was just super fussy during the day.  (She never pulls on her ears like they say she should).  But thankfully, they were able to get me in that day AND give us meds before the holiday weekend!  Whew... they sure do help-- and we ALL needed sleep again.

Thurs Nov 22- Thankful that Matt will listen to Christmas music on Thanksgiving!
 **Matt is not a fan of month-long Christmas music, but he indulges me and beginning Thanksgiving Day we get to listen to it ALL the time!  I LOVE it!  We had a long drive this Thanksgiving anyways, so it was fun finding the Christmas stations.

Fri Nov 23- Thankful for pj days!
 **Some days, Caylee and I do a whole lot of nothing.... that's ok.  On these days, it's nice just to be in our pj's and play a lot.  She's getting SO smart and SO much fun to play with.  These days can be long, but when she's in a great mood we have lots of fun.  Plus, it's great to snuggle on the couch and relax a lot... especially after a few very long days of little sleep, not feeling well and traveling. 

Sat Nov 24- Thankful Matt can work on our dogs!
 **Today Sammy was neutered.  I'm so glad Matt could do it and save money... plus knowing that he knows what he's doing and can take care of him after surgery is nice too. 

Sun Nov 25- Thankful for God's love!
 **Today's sermon was simple.  God Loves You.  It was a nice break from normal "preaching" and a good reminder to remember the great love God has for us, even though we don't deserve it.
