Thankful Thursday

Every Thursday I share something I am thankful for.  It is so easy to get caught up in the every day struggles that sometimes we forget we have things to be grateful for. 


Today I am thankful for my son, Sean, and the time spent with him this past weekend.  I don't get to see Sean as often as I see my daughter or even as often as my husband gets to see him.  They work for the same company although in different towns, but they see each other about once a week when Michael travels to where Sean works.  I mostly get to see him when the whole family gets together.  So I was thrilled when I called Sean at three in the afternoon to invite him to dinner and he said yes!  He had over a two hour drive each way so I didn't really expect him to come!  But he did, and it was so nice to have him for a few hours even if I wished he could have stayed longer!

I'm also thankful for
     the rain we needed so badly
     an ice maker in the freezer
     Michael's love of cooking on the grill
     the long daylight hours of summer

What are you thankful for today?

My Favorite Son

Some of you may remember reading this two part post where I told the story of having a broken leg while I was pregnant.  The baby I was pregnant with turns 27 years old today!  Sean was a happy little boy full of energy and mischief. 

He loved Ghost Busters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Batman and Sonic the Hedgehog.  When he had to have nine baby teeth pulled by the dentist, he giggled and laughed so hard the dentist couldn't pull his teeth because he was laughing just as hard as Sean.  Nitrous caused the fit of giggles!

When he was 18, he saved his money and bought his first car.  He was so proud of it, and we were proud of him for the discipline he had to save money for it.  Today, Sean is still happy and somewhat mischievious!  He is laid back and easy going and has a fabulous sense of humor.  Dry at times but nonetheless fabulous!  He's one of my favorite people to be around!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!!!
