This morning while I was doing laundry I heard Brandon singing. I stoped to listen to the song and was surprised by his choice. We hadn't heard the song in a while and was amazed by how well he knew it. I asked him if he would call his grandma and sing it to her and he said "No, it will make her cry." Funny thing is he is probably right!
I want to video tape him singing it and when I do I will post it but until then I will just leave you with the link to the song he was singing.

I hope this song touches your heart as it has mine.

My Thankful List....
1. My laptop, because I am sitting in bed with it right now!
2. Jelly Belly's because as I am sitting in bed with my laptop I am also munching on JB's! YUM!
3. Listening to the sound of the spring rain.
4. Running into an acquaintance at Pizza Hut today. I hope she can make it to MOPS this week!
5. Meeting my Grandma's new husband. She seems very happy! My grandparents were married close to 60 years when grandpa passed away. I am happy for my Grandma who has found someone to love, share life and travel with.
6. My new "health freak" ways. There is seriously nothing to snack on and the fridge is full!
Yes, I have Jelly Belly's put what will I do when they run out?!?!?!
7. Spending time with family.
8 Visiting a preschool for Brandon next year. Don't know what we will do but am glad we have several choices.
9.Celebrating Felicia's 2nd birthday. How did my baby grow so fast? And why did she start sucking her thumb? Seriously, have you ever heard of a 2 yr old starting that??
10. Brandon who wears his heart on his sleeve and continuously amazes me with his thoughtfulness.
11. Chris's first week at his new position worked out.
12. The hundred of loads of laundry I have because I have a clothes to wear.
Oh by the way I went to the Amish store this week and was AMAZED by how cheap everything is! I bought whole wheat flour, 9lb 8oz, for $5. Anyone wanting to check it out let me know and we will go!
I feel so blessed by all of you!
What are you thankful for?

As I sit here reflecting this past week I find that I am surprised how thankful I feel. It has been a hard week; full of tears, memories and laughter.
I am thankful...
1. For being able to know Grandpa Metternich. He will be dearly missed.
2. Lots of family time this week.
3. The many Easter Egg hunts week.
4. Buds on my lilac bush.
5. Christ IS RISEN!!!!
6. Getting caught up with a friend over lunch.
7. My neighbor who loves to iron and took time to iron my husband's shirt this week.
8. The 15 year old boys who hang out at our house; maybe we can make a difference in their lives.
9. Warmer weather.
10. All the cousins my children were able to play with this week.
I am tired and am still amazed how long this week has been. I should have more on this list however it is just not going to happen tonight. So this week I am going to try to write down all the things that I am thankful for as they happen.
Have a Blessed Week!

I am thankful...

2. I am starting to feel better.
3. My son who sewpt and mopped like a champ today! What a great kid :)
4. A wonderful friend who takes care of my children and lets Christ shine through her. My children are blessed to have her and so am I.
5. My husbands new job, hopefully he will have less stress.
6. MOPS cookout, the fabulous treats that were provided and the customers who came out and showed their support!
7. My mother in law
8.A house that keeps us warm and all the appliances inside that work wonders! Aren't you glad you didn't live in the 1800's? I am!
9. The time Brandon and Felicia got to spend with cousins playing.
10. Visiting with family even under these circumstances.
11. Chris's cousin who is expecting! They have waited a LONG time for a little one.
Have a Blessed Easter week!
