intentional living, little by little

{month of thanksgiving} Day 11: Veterans

Day 10: Today I’m thankful for all the men and women who are willing to sacrifice everything for our country.  Freedom isn’t free and I never want to take that for granted.  I’m especially thankful for all of the men in my family who have served this great nation: my grandfather, father, brother and husband.  We have a legacy of former Marines in this family!

{month of thanksgiving} Day 10: My Dryer

Day 10: Today I am so grateful for my dryer.  Not only does it make our clean laundry warm and toasty, it also soothes upset babies!  This picture was taken at 10 o’clock at night after two hours of crying (her or me?  both?  I’ll never tell).  I’m not sure whether she has a touch of colic and if it’s just something I ate.  But at my wit’s end, I turned the dryer on, threw a random fleece jacket on the top and put her down.  Immediate calm and she stared at the light for almost 5 minutes!

{month of thanksgiving} Day 9: My Helper Boy

Day 9: Today I’m thankful for this boy.  He’s my helper.  When this photo was taken, I was sweeping the floor for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.  Something distracted me and I left my chore unfinished.  Next thing I know, this sweet boy is on the floor with the dust pan, intent on completing the job for me.  I am so thankful for his eagerness to help and the joy in his eyes when I give him a job to do.

{month of thanksgiving} Day 8: Slippers


Day 8: Yesterday was dreary and cold.  Is this a hint of what winter is supposed to be like this year?  Brr.  Today I’m thankful for my new slippers, keeping my feet toasty on these cold wood floors.  Now I’m looking out for some for my boys.  Anyone have a favorite?
