Piano

1. I am grateful for our piano. I am grateful that I am taking the time to develop my talents on the piano. It took me a few months, but I can now play "He Sent His Son." I am really grateful for that.

2. I am grateful to watch my boys love the piano. Part of the reason it took me a few months is that whenever I sit down to play, if one of the boys is up they kick me off of the piano, so they can play. I love to watch their joy as they hit keys...it's not always pretty, but their joy is supreme.

Please excuse the toilet paper in the back ground. PH hero had a lot of fun today. We didn't realize he had made it into the bathroom.

3. I am grateful for cameras. I love that I can capture little moments like these. I need to take pictures with greater frequency, but I treasure the ones I have. Peaceful Hero started smiling at the camera today. He was ready to preform.

4. I am grateful for my sons friendship. They love each other very much. FH is always asking where is PH, or, Is PH. (He forgets where a lot). He is concerned and aware of his brother. Sometimes PH doesn't appreciate the attention--who really wants a 2 year old laying on top of you, or taking your food--but they love to laugh together.

5. I am grateful that I am working on my Christmas Card. We have ideas for all the comics. I'm excited to get them made and copied and then sent out. I really am excited to share them with all my friends and family! If you want one, make sure I have your address.

6. I am always grateful for book recommendations. The most recent books that I absolutely love and recommend to everyone are the Penderwick series, by Jeanne Birdsall. They are the cutest, sweetest books around. There are three books out right now and I've been rereading them a lot recently. Everyone should read these books. They are great!
