1. Today is C's 2nd birthday - we are SO thankful she is a part of our family. As some of you know, life was pretty crazy in 2005 with the three boys, Jeff's work and travel schedule, and the business we owned back in Arizona. We almost decided to stop at three kids even though we'd always wanted #4. I just thank God that He helped us get our priorities back in line in 2005 or we may have missed out on the blessing He had in store for us in 2006!
2. That my darling birthday girl wasn't hurt (more) badly when her sprinkler-slicked little self tried to climb up on the patio table from a chair that swiveled and came crashing down before her (bad) mommy could do anything but watch.
3. I'm thankful for warm enough mornings to run in the sprinklers before C's nap time.
4. I'm glad that J only does 3 days of preschool right now - I like having him around some mornings so C has someone to model proper techniques on sliding down our little pink slide shoved into the green turtle sandbox that was instead full of grassy water this morning.
5. Crockpots - A and Jeff have a baseball game and J and the rest of us will go to his soccer game (3 & 4 year old soccer is painful to watch!) so dinner is ready as soon as we are!
6. Rechargeable batteries for the camera since I accidentally left it on (it doesn't turn itself off when it is hooked up to the computer for downloading pictures I now know!) so that I don't miss photo-ops for lack of new batteries.
7. Dora --- C is a big fan, so that will be my next cake challenge. This cake is coming with us to church tomorrow night, so it may turn into "swirled colors top" cake if it comes out too embarrassingly ugly! C likes colors too, so it'd be okay. 
8. The boys had a GREAT time at Wild Adventures with Daddy and Uncle Justin this weekend, though Uncle Justin was the REAL highlight for them.
9. Uncle Justin enjoyed spending his 20th birthday at Wild Adventures with them too!
10. I'm almost afraid to type this here for fear of jinxing it, but we got a counter-offer to our response to the low offers on the house. Not good by ANY stretch of the imagination, but it leaves us just enough to buy "the one" on this end. It's ONLY God's doing that everything has worked out just right.
