Grateful Sunday

This Sunday I am grateful for...
1. A new decade and a fresh start.
2. Getting what I wanted for my birthday...Daniel worked on my mantle/deconstructed wall, and dinner out with 4 well-behaved children (they were so good another couple dining next to us stopped at our table to ask if they were always this well behaved. It's always a highlight when people compliment my children.)
3. The opportunity to be of service to family...M&P and "the cousins" still have no power and a partially crushed roof, and will be staying with us for awhile (until their town gets power).
4. The opportunity to teach my children that church is not a place, it is so much more. (We are having 1 hour of church today at our building, but our building has no power last time I checked...so I'm assuming we may be outside, as it would be very dark and hot otherwise)
5. My boyfriend let me comb his hair into a faux-hawk...after I bathed him, dressed him, powdered his neck, and rubbed him all up with lotion of course. Daniel wants to know why he never receives this kind of treatment.

Happy belated Birthday!! Did you find ice cream for your cake? It looks like you did, yay! I'm glad that M & P have you all around! X looks so stinkin cute in that picture- faux-hawks are my favorite, but other males in our home don't appreciate them as much. :)
