The ??? Day of Lent

My babies, Will and Carly.

Note: I know I'm a complete slacker when it comes to posting every day. Oh well, as they say in therapy, "Do the next right thing."



I'm thankful for a conversation I overheard Tuesday evening:

Will to Carly: Did you know that a person can actually break his leg from sneezing?

Carly: (No response)

Will: Kangaroos can't jump backwards either.

Carly: (Without looking up from her book) Hey, Will, is autism contagious?

Somethings never change. Even if my twins are 24 years old. I'm thankful for that.


Another note: Will is an assistant in a autistic unit at an elementary school. Carly and I listen to his stories every day with lots of patience, more or less.

22nd Day of Lent

I'm thankful for a mom who not only spends her life "tending" to the least of these, but loves them with her whole heart, and, not for a moment does she see them as "the least" but only and always as God himself.

21st Day of Lent

I'm thankful for these flowers. I'm more thankful for the man who sent them to me.

20th Day of Lent

My 3rd Graders

I'm thankful for them. . . all of them.

16th Day of Lent

My Number 2 Boy and Me

I'm thankful to work in a place that celebrates Pajama Day every couple of months, and I'm glad that my boy gets to share that joy with me this year.
