Good Books

1. The word of the day was bibliophile: a lover of books--and I'm grateful that it's me. It comes to no surprise that I love to read, to my kids, to relax, to escape. It's one of my pleasures to pick up a book. I'm grateful for books.

2. I am really grateful for the Bug Hero. He was so great with the kids today--he went to work late so he could play with Friendly Hero. Normally I play with them, but today I took time to read, because I was in dire need of some relaxation. I am grateful that they love each other and it was fun to hear them playing in the other room and laughing together. I am grateful for the Bug Hero. He is my Hero.

3. I am grateful for these family pictures. They are fun! I don't necessarily want them on my wall, because I like to have close pictures of our faces, but I really like these artistic pictures to look at.

4. I am grateful for family. (Flam-lee) Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he sent us to Families. I love having these boys help me grow into the mother I'm supposed to be, and I love finding joy in their lives...some days it's really easy to find joy and other days it's not so easy.

5. I am grateful for the Hunger Games preview. It's totally awesome! I'm excited to see the movie!
