{Thankful..}

So I missed yesterdays thankful Thursday post, but for a good reason. We had our first post placement home visit from family services. I cleaned got the house ready and we had a nice visit. But I'm thankful its done till next time! We also got alot done around the house that needed to be done so they are kind of nice in a way for getting things done that haven't been done yet!

Its been so hot the past few days and today is cloudy and feels so good. We had my sil Katelyn and her husband and baby over last night so that was fun to visit and see them again its amazing how fast babies grow. Their baby is so cute!!

L has been able to spend some time at grandmas with her cousins and having a sleepover and then K has been painting fences going on fun excursions with his cousins and hopefully enjoying his time with them. I missed them!!

But its good for them to get out and have some fun! Little K2 is growing so fast already, filling out and still the best baby yet, calm, alert when he's awake and so fun. Though he does sleep like all the time we do enjoy his awake periods alot!!
Fun times the summer is passing quick swim lessons and swimming, boating and skiing and lake time are all going to be done before we know it!

But we are enjoying every minute!

So I was reading my sil Allison's blog and she had this poem not sure by who but I love it hope she doesn't care I'm passing it on.

Makes me thankful for every minute I have and every year that I'm given. They all pass to quickly. Every minute we live, breath and walk is another minute we have to be thankful for.
