A Week of Gratitude

I had a bit of a cough/cold this week and Missy was either teething or reacting poorly to her shots (low grade fever, restless nights, screaming at bedtime, rash on her tummy, rubbing her gums, diarrhea, spitting up). It was a bit of a crazy week. But I am grateful for my gratitude project as it helped me to find things to celebrate each day. I am starting to pay attention to little things during my day. Looking for something to add to my entry that night. This is what I found:






My Art Piece:
To Become ones true self....
A Journey of a Life Time
Explore
Dream
Enjoy
Laugh
Trust



Practicing her walking

Cuddles with Jammie Pie

A Winter Weekend




Hmmm.... What does this do??




As I side note, last night I was wondering why the humidifier wasn't working. Missy had stuck a puppet, a highlighter and a sock in the mist part and so no mist was coming out.






Trying to keep her balance

Here I come Mom!

Oh Wow!! I can walk!

Black Beans for supper. Yummy!! And quick! And healthy!!

It's been a great 10 days. I just got a new camera so I am experimenting with taking photos of the things I am grateful for. So far I like the results and will continue to play.

My name is Emily. And today I am grateful.
