Grateful Sunday

This Sunday, I'm grateful for:

• my parents, who taught me so much, including the idea that the world is a very small place and a very big place at the same time. My mom took this beautiful picture in England last fall. (Buckland, Mom?)
• Audrey and Parker, who always want to learn about interesting things, and who both plan on being scientists when they grow up. (In addition to being a cowgirl and a superhero, respectively.)
  
• my garage, which keeps us from having to get cold and/or wet when I want to go somewhere. And the fact that we're "organized" enough to fit both of our cars into it.
• the delicious baby smell of my sweet little Miles. It's kind of like a mix of warm sugar cookies and strawberries. yum.
  
• family history, which, although time-consuming and frustrating, is also a very peaceful and fulfilling hobby.
• my hair, which I have actually liked lately.
• a little bit of sunshine and blue skies today. After about 4 or 5 days of clouds and cold, dreary rain, I was beginning to think I suffered from a touch of S.A.D.
  
• my health and the health of my family.
• peaceful Sunday afternoons.

Some goals for this week:

1. Implement weekly chore/housekeeping chart created last week, which means tomorrow, I'm cleaning bathrooms. bleh.
   
2. Cook something new for dinner.
3. Bring a treat to the neighbors, since my friend (the mom) just had surgery and dad is in charge of the food this week.
4. Make new blankie for Parker.
