Outside my window…everyone is still asleep. It’s 6 am.

I am thinking…that we have much to be thankful for.

I am thankful for…God’s grace.

From the kitchen…trying out another crockpot recipe tomorrow: Creamy White Chicken Chili. I’m also going to try my hand at baking…a diabetic recipe for Snickerdoodle cookies. Hey, I bought the darn diabetic cookbook, might as well use it…

I am wearing…my pj’s. Vann just walked in the office bleary-eyed and asked me if I was ok. Yep, just up at 4:30 am again…

I am going…to enjoy a day at home tomorrow after all this running around (Dr.’s appts, flu shots, errands, etc.)

I am reading…still nada.

I am hoping…that it doesn’t rain on Saturday!!

Around the house…I suppose I should start thinking about this baby and how she fits into our home environment. Charlie has been enjoying pulling all of the freshly laundered newborn clothing out of the drawers and depositing them throughout the house while singing the “Clean-Up Song”…must figure out another solution…

A few plans for the rest of the week: We are supposed to have a family photo shoot with our beloved Leigh Wilcoxson this Saturday morning, but the forecast is calling for rain, so I’m not sure how it’s going to shake out. Leigh is moving later this Winter and I really wanted to get in with her one more time before she leaves. I am crossing my fingers the rain holds off, at least for the morning…and if for some reason it holds off indefinitely, we are thinking of taking in an apple orchard as a family. After all, we don’t have that many weekends left as a family of three…

Here is a picture I am sharing…Ankles crossed so demurely…
