Thankful Thursday

House/Moving Update:  We had the appraisal on our place done today and should hear how that went by the first of next week.  We are also expecting a loan commitment letter form our buyers' lender by the first of next week.  With that, we'll go to our sellers and their lender and ask for the necessary extensions.  Keep praying!

Here is this week's list:

1.  Grandparents.  Today was Grandparents' Day at Audrey's preschool.  The kids sang for them and then they ate lunch together and did the hokey pokey (what I would've paid to see that!)  Though not all of them could make it, she had a wonderful time.  We are so blessed to have each of them in our lives and we're thankful for how good they are to us!

2.  Being finished with medicine...for now, anyway.  After ten days, Luke wrapped up his antibiotic last weekend for his sinus and ear infection.  Giving him that twice a day on top of his twice a day reflux medicine made me realize how very lucky we are that that's not typically our world.  Pray they stay well for a little while...I think I already hear him getting stuffy again!

3.  A great time at the pumpkin patch last weekend.  We had so much fun choosing a pumpkin (a couple, actually), riding on the hay ride, wandering through the corn maze, and racing rubber duckies down the pvc tracks.  Days like that are the stuff I used to dream about and I'm so thankful they've come true and are turning into sweet memories.

4.  Our library reopening.  I love taking Audrey to the library to pick out new books every couple of weeks.  Since just before Luke was born, the one closest to our house has been closed for renovation.  It just reopened and all the new work looks great.  I'm glad to have one so nearby again and can't wait to check out story time there soon! 

5.  Quick and easy dinners.  As in, 5 minutes of hands-on work.  I made chicken and dumplins in the crock pot one night and meatball subs (from frozen) another night then we had leftovers off of both.  They were lifesavers while David had to work late a few nights this week.  Super fast, super easy and only dirtied one pot per meal!  

Have a great weekend and enjoy this amazing fall weather!
