Harlie calls my dad Papa..and this is her Papa Angel... "he has wings now"

This week I am thankful for,

I am thankful for:

My husband, I will probably list this every time, but I am so grateful for the support he is and his amazing personality. And his smile and hugs are the best!

My sweet kids, who bravely went through the week barely seeing me, and always had big hugs and a "mommy I miss you" when they saw me.

I am thankful for my mini van, it's cool I promise! The coolest part is all the carseats and boosters sit flat and don't block seatbelts YAY!!

I am thankful for slow cookers, best invention!

I am thankful for washing machines, and dryers. I could not catch up on this post valentines laundry without them

I am grateful for my Boss, she made things so easy. I worked almost 80 hours in one week and she made it so fun and easy. It was hard to be away from my babies but it would have been that much harder if she had made being there miserable...But instead she was there with her Celia-isms making us giggle, and making sure that she showed us appreciation for our efforts.

And I am thankful for Diet Coke

It's not every day

It's not everyday you can say "My grandpa is on the cover of National Geographic" but for February 2010 I can say that. The article is pretty well written and and doesn't make him out to be a bad man. Which he isn't, he is one of the kindest, hard working men you will ever meet. My grandma passed away in 2001 so she isn't show, BUT the lady on the cover and to the right of my grandpa (in the pink) is my other Grandma Rose, who I am named after and Who Madison is named after, they are all amazing people.
Here is a link to the article...or go pick up a copy.

And by the way, take a look at the picture and you can see where my Lucas gets his ears from :)
