Today is my first day without any daytime commitments! Since I missed my "5 of Friday" (again), I thought I'd take a few minutes (or an hour) to reflect over why I'm thankful for my people...
1) They take care of others...
 |
| Packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child |
 |
| Lydia helping Eliza do stickers |
 |
| Jacob made breakfast for us one day (Cub Scout assignment) |
 |
| Putting dishes away |
 |
| Unloading and licking the dishes for me. So helpful... |
2) They like to keep active.
Eliza doing her best Tigger impression!
 |
| Jacob getting his medal for his All-Star Soccer Team |
 |
| Running with me in the (light) rain |
 |
| She was a good sport! |
3) They love spending time with their grandparents!
 |
| Lydia made Pop cheese toast for breakfast |
 |
| Anna Kate reading with Nana Hopper |
 |
| Nana Milne attempting to play 2 different games with the kids |
4) They like to be silly.
 |
| Me: "Don't go to sleep, Eliza!" |
Out-takes: This video is too funny not to share. I'm thankful for my Lydia who is "spirited" and alot like me. This video captures some of her spirit. Let me add that we are working on the verse "A friend loves at all times". Guess why?

Now we know the secret to getting your dishes clean when you don't have time to run the dishwasher...you just give them to Eliza. :) You almost have me motivated to get out and run again...if you can do it with 5 kids I have no excuses not to be exercising. Love the Blog update-
