Giving Thanks

I didn't order any of these, but I think they turned out pretty well also. It was very nice to have the problem of having a hard time deciding which poses to buy! :-)

Unlike the last 5 days where we were out and about at some point every day, I think we'll just stay home all day today. I need to grade some papers for one thing, and I'm cooking a new recipe for dinner tonight. We shall see what we think of it. Last month's new recipe didn't thrill either of us. This one involved marinading the chicken for 24 hours so I actually started making it yesterday. Tomorrow I think we'll go out to eat for lunch for Valentine's Day. I figure restaurants might be crowded at dinner time. At some point I would like to have a date with my hubby, but it will also be special to celebrate Valentine's Day as a family of 3 for the first time. I got Paul a card yesterday that was from a daughter to her Daddy. He's never gotten one like that before! :-)



I'm thankful for....

1. The good health we continue to experience (my sister's four kids have all been sick recently, even the 2 month old had a 103 fever and this again reminded me how grateful I am that thus far Nadia's never had a fever, etc.)

2. The Steelers winning their 6th Superbowl (still very happy about that, LOL)

3. The pretty weather we had this week, especially on Wednesday and the knowledge that spring is coming!

4. The fact Nadia smiled during professional photos for the first time (when I first set her down on the little white pillow she started crying so we got off to a rough start but we got some good pics - YAY)

5. Some improvement in my wrist since I had the steroid shot on Tuesday

 

6. The CD that matured this month that can be used to pay for IVF next month

7. All the special moments with Nadia - we love her sooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! I'm still in awe that I am finally a Mommy!! :-)
