Thankful Thursday- on THURSDAY!!!

This week I'm thankful for...
~The fact that Thankful Thursday is on Thursday, haha. I hate posting something with a date on it when it isn't the real date...haha, okay, now, really...
~Little Marsha's adoption!!!
~Peter's new skill- he learned how to roll over!!!
~Fresh tomatoes from the garden!
~Little ones to read to.
~The Moody Family series- I have been reading the younger ones "Summer with the Moodys"while babysitting siblings lately.
~Watching Emmi get wrapped up in a story (this girl has some adorable faces when she concentrates, and she has definitely been concentrating on the Moody books!)
~Green onions (these are fun to grow!).
~Fellowship with fellow believers.
~Watermelon.
~Blossoming friendships.
~Violins.
~Recorders.
~Hearing Tori play "Amazing Grace" on said recorder.
~The history of the people who wrote some of my favorite hymns.
~A visit from our Grandparents and Aunts last Monday.
~A bed full of family telling/ reminding others of family stories that were the cause of much laughter ;)... (at about eleven o'clock at night, which may have also been part of the cause of the hysterical laughter. That, and the relief that that piece of toilet paper wasn't permanently stuck in Abbi's nose...)
~So much to be grateful for!
~The fact that Andrew is now so interested in reading.
~Peter's other new skill, although less used- giggling :)!
~Jesus' grace to sinners


26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
~Psalm 136: 26

AWW...Peter is so sweet! He's about three months old now, right?
Yum---fresh tomatoes...
Wow! I was never able to play the recorder. (or violin... or anything ;))
It's so sweet when little ones learn to read, find out how much fun it is and get excited about it :)

Tori said...

Yeah, it's been fun!
I'm about through learning the recorder, but I've taken a break...

Unknown said...

Yes, three months old, plus 11 days :).
I'm not really good at anything... yet. I hope to be someday, at least good enough to be able to play a song all the way through, haha :).
I know, he is so supper excited :). Daddy has promised him that he gets to go fishing when he reads his first book all by himself, lol. That and Daddy helping him have been GREAT motivation ;)!
