day 14-16, more thankful for thoughts...

day 14 - my nephews and nieces.  i'm not sure they will ever know what they mean to me.  i feel so selfish in my love for them - they have brought me so much joy, and what the heck did i do!?!?  and they still do.  carter, kyle, audrey, nathan, asher, carson, caroline and jack...i love each of you with all my heart!!  God blessed me to be your aunt, and not a day passes that i don't pray for and love you.

day 15 - on a lighter note - drinkable yogurt, toddler squeeze pouches filled with nutritious fruits and veggies, chicken salad, cheese, granola bars, elmo whole wheat mac and cheese, edamame...all of the foods that make my little boy happy and healthy.  that and mi cocina.  just 'cause ooooh, is it yummy!  :)

day 16 - this is a BIG one.  a part-time job (with a solid, family business!) that can be done from home.  this is what so many moms hope for and not many can find, and it's perfect for us (which is all that matters - not judging anyone else's choices!).  i am so blessed.  as far as link knows, i never "work" because i can do most everything while he is napping or down for the night.  it takes a lot of discipline (and sleep!) to keep up with both, but it is all worth it in the end.  FOR SURE!

because of said job, i don't have to miss any of these moments from the last couple of days...SO THANKFUL!  and so very blessed.


i'm smiling here b/c he didn't stop smiling, laughing, and repeating CHOO-CHOO at the top of his lungs yesterday riding the dart train home from his first wee volunteer project :)


pajama-knight-face-off.  he was seriously looking tough and talking smack.  hilarious.


at approximately 10:30 this morning, link pretended to be a space commander for the first time  :)

haha - no, it just got skipped accidentally in the re-typing. fyi, # 9 - thankful for legs and a body that can run, for the bob stroller, and that link enjoys the ride!
