Day 10: Josie

I am thankful for Scoobie Doo cartoons because I like them and they remind of my daddy.

Thankful: Day 10

I am feeling very scattered lately and reading what people are thankful for got me thinking... I like what Kurt said yesterday "I could use some perspective and catharsis." So, I will begin sharing what I am thankful for too each day. No special order just what is on my mind. Since I am behind today I will share two.
Day 10: I am thankful for my daughter and my husband. Josie is a joy. She is creative, energetic, thoughtful, and silly. She is becoming a fantastic person. Jay, you put up with a lot from me and yet you continue to support and love me. Remember Kurt's words -"Good luck with my sister." You are a wonderful husband and father. I love you.
I am also thankful for the technology that keeps our family close. With Jay half way around the world I am glad to have Skype and Facetime. Seeing him makes all the difference for Josie.

To Do List

Josies was diligently working on something this morning.  When I asked her what she said, "I am writing my list of things to do today." Oh what music to my ears.  Another good habit taught young. :)

The list says: breakfast, lunch, BOSU, church, nap, supper, play

The BOSU

I decided that I would buy a BOSU so I could excercise more effectively at home - well basically excercise at home at all- and Josie is completely in to using it.  She wanted to practice each of the excercises on the box. She even put it on her to do list of things to do in the day.  Teaching good habits young. :)

The Blue Chair

When I was pregnant Jay and I went looking for a chair for Josie's room and I fell in love with a big blue chair that had a soft fabric and big puffy back.  It reclined and rocked and it was fabulous.  I spent many nights asleep in that chair with her, as did Jay, but he never really liked the chair.  I LOVED it! Anyway, I finally came to grips with the fact that the chair needed to go - we don't really use it and we needed the space in her room.  Both Josie and I feel good about the fact that the chair went to a friend's sister.  When the chair was on the front porch Josie wanted to sit in it until they came to pick it up. 

Whoopie Pies

 Josie and I finally made the whoopie pies that Granpa OD and Granma Tup brought back from their trip to Maine.  They were sooo yummy.

Family Portrait

Josie drew this the other day. She did all the spelling by herself!
