Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for the videos Kael sends me from his friend's houses.  And I'm not even being sarcastic at all.  I'm thankful for the technology behind it.  I'm thankful we are able to provide him with a phone.  I'm thankful he's responsible enough to check in.  And maybe most of all, I'm thankful that he still thinks it's cool to send his mom videos of he and his friends having slam dunk contests in each other's basements.  

I'm thankful for time spent with Kylee lately.  Yesterday we had time to go on a walk, just us two and it was so nice.  She was able to tell me all about her day, with all the details important to an eight year old girl without being interrupted by a brother.  Also, the last few evenings we've spent braiding her hair.  She likes to wake up with it wavy.  I just like to spend the time with her. 

I'm thankful that Kase got to see three grandmas yesterday! Cindy came to visit, then later in the afternoon Kase and I went to run errands but made a detour at my mom's at his request, then later she took him to visit my grandma.  What a great day.

I'm thankful for friends.  My neighborhood is the best.  As these winter months drag on, I'm so happy to have friends who will bring their kids to play, meet me at the library or just share carpool duty with.  Love 'em all.

I'm thankful for how schooled I am in super heroes.  Seriously, I know alllll about them.  All of them. Quiz me, I dare ya. Kase and I have read and re-read every super hero book in our local library, watched most of the TV series and several of the movies.  We fill our days pretending to get the bad guys in the basement while dressed as Hulk, Thor and Iron Man.  I'm just so thankful for these moments with him.  

I'm thankful I said yes, eleven years ago today, when Kent asked me to marry him.  In fact, I'm so very thankful he asked. What a ride it's been.

Happy Thursday!
