Taking time to give thanks...

I am giving thanks today. So often I feel defeated by my kids and, by the time Ben gets home I have no energy or enthusiasm left. The last few days Natalie has been "agreeable". She has been happy, napping, eating, dressing and overall enjoying her self as a "free" year old (3 - year - old). She loves school, singing, dress up and helping mommy. I have so enjoyed this new leaf she has turned over! I am gloating because this is my blog and I would be afraid to compliment her out loud in fear she would hear me thus choosing to sabotage the lucky streak.

Allison, even though sick, has also been so easy on me...she is sleeping in a little later, at least waiting for daybreak, she has also really done well accepting solids and only nurses once at night...wow, maybe all I needed was a little bit of sleep. Life on Yellowstone has been good...

Ben has been busy but even we have connected better in the last week...I just had to share the happiness floating around here...it pass through before much longer and wanted to share a "good day" with you all for a change:)
