Well this morning when I dropped off Zach and Kaija for school, I started forming another list of things I am thankful for:

• a 14 year old boy who still gives the "I love you" sign when we drop him off
• a wonderful weekend with Grandma- all to ourselves! It doesn't happen very often but we sure love it when we get to spend time with our parents/grandparents 
• for a balmy 66 degrees this morning- a perfect day for a walk
• the anticipation of getting out Christmas decorations... I think I will start today!
• our amazing church family- I love that no matter where we have lived or visited, there are always wonderful people who have become our dear friends 
• being able to enjoy the bird migrations- I love hearing them and watching them fly in formation, I think it is just fascinating
