Gratitude list

I feel as if I would be completely remiss if I didn't end the weekend with a gratitude list.  I have so much to be thankful for and so much good in my life. 

one of my favorite photos from the weekend. I love the random dog on Lexi's head.

 Today, I am grateful for:

- a sister who is always there when I need her
-a family who supports me in all things
-friends who show up, sit down next to me, and help me through the hard parts
-big steps
-silly moments with my nieces
-quiet contemplation
-perfect September afternoons
-meeting my new nephew (finally!)
-feeling like I am exactly where i need to be
-hearing a 7 year old read one of my favorite books out loud and anticipating sharing my love of reading with her throughout the years
-getting it right the first time
-springtime arrivals
-ten minute bedtimes
-anticipation of the week to come

exploring her world

meeting Archer!
