Ten Things Tuesday...

Once again I will post ten things I'm thankful for - even though Tuesday is almost over. I challenge you to post 10 things you are thankful for on your blog and then go to X-Box wife and share your link with everyone over there!!

1. I am thankful for a fun-filled Saturday with our family at my aunt & uncle's cottage. My Uncle Lee has been pulling kids on skis and tubes behind his boat(s) for as long as I can remember - and probably as long as he can remember, too! He taught countless friends of mine how to ski during my high school years. On Saturday he gave Taylor is first tube ride! My handsome cousin, Joseph, rode along side him. Lee & Joseph are so good with all the kids - I'm very thankful for them!

2. I am so thankful for my parents. They are keeping the boys pretty much everyday this summer. When they agreed to this arrangement we thought Jason would be on day-shift and could help out on his days off...as has come to be expected in the life of a police officer, his schedule got changed and he's still on night-shift. I'm thankful that Taylor has been a helper for Nicholas and my mom is thankful when it's 9am and they both look like this...

3. I am thankful for my wonderful friends. We're planning our 15 year high school reunion (when did THAT happen?) and I'm so thankful to still be in close touch with so many of them.

4. I'm thankful for my husband, all the time. But, especially when he helps me cook. He cuts sausages so perfectly for our mexican casserole! :)

5. Again, I'm thankful for my job. I'm so blessed to work with the people I do and I thank God for giving me the capabilities to be a valuable employee and a contributing member of our team.

6. I'm thankful for Taylor and his never-ending questions. He drives me insane sometimes, but he's so smart and inquisitive. He's also quite inventive...he's found a way to keep Nicholas quiet without having to hold him (I just hope the playpen won't give way!)

7. I'm oh, so thankful for my big bathtub after our evening walks. It is probably my favorite thing about our house. (Speaking of walking, we did two miles again tonight!)

8. I'm thankful my sister & brother-in-law were able to find another house to rent. I don't envy them moving again, though!

9. I'm VERY thankful for three-day weekends, sleeping in and napping during the day. I really wish we had nap time at work. :)

10. I'm thankful that there are less than 2 months until college football season begins!! Life is so much more exciting when there is football to watch! Our season tickets should be arriving in the mail soon...Go Noles!
