Reasons to give thanks!

The day's almost over and I meant to get this post completed before I even really started my day. Somehow... that just didn't happen. But, I can't let Thursday leave without mentioning a couple of things I am so thankful for today.

• Yesterday I came up the stairs after getting home from work. Matthew was hiding from me (one of our favorite games) and Maia was in the living room. I walked in and said "Hi, baby girl." She got the most beautiful smile on her face, crawled over to the couch and PULLED HERSELF UP TO A STANDING POSITION!!  Did you hear me cheering her on? YAY MAIA!
• Usually, the kids are up when I leave for work in the morning so I am able to say "good-bye" to them. Yesterday was no exception. They were both in our bedroom with Mark. I told them all to have a good day and walked downstairs to leave. Matthew came running after me yelling, "Wait mom! I have a dea (idea)." I stopped as he ran down the stairs. His idea? "Mom, I give you hug and kiss!" Oh Matthew... I think that was the BEST IDEA EVER!!
• So thankful for my sweet hubby who handles the whole morning routine a few days a week so that I can attempt to  get back into the habit of going to the gym before work. And he does this without complaining. Love you Mark!
• Tonight, I am especially thankful that God somehow found me worthy to be mom to these two precious treasures that he has entrusted us with and to be the wife of this man who tolerates me in spite of my many faults!!

What's on your list for today?
