Thankful that "Uncle" Nate treated Noley to a mid day screening of "Free Birds" yesterday as that allowed all of us to rest. God bless you Nate - there's not too many guys who would willingly sit through a kids movie (with a grand total of 5 families in the theatre) like that on their weekend.
However, the difference a good night's sleep makes! Today, I woke up with enough energy and appetite to putter around the kitchen and whip up a batch of French toast for everyone. Which exhausted my burst of energy :) But it was so nice to be up and able to enjoy the unusual but welcome sunshine around here before going back to nap.
Update - 9 pm
A few more things to be thankful for:
- Our stroller had been stolen the day we came back from San Diego. While Nolan doesn't need a stroller anymore, it was very sentimental to us and a very good quality piece that we could share with others. Today on a walk, we found it outside a neighbour's home daycare - one of their families had found it in the alleyway, after it had been stolen to cart who-knows-what. Sounds silly, but finding that stroller made me so happy!
- Our sweet friends Dar & Jeannie won an exclusive catering event with Vij's Railway Express. While my immune system, appetite and energy levels were not quite up for the event, they made sure we could be part of it by saving a bit of each course and getting a signed tee. How in the world are we so blessed by such amazing family and friends??
Thanks for the update, Mel! I was going to ask you about the stroller bc it's usually in the front of your house. I can't believe someone stole it!!! :( But, I am glad that you found it....how crazy is that? and how awesome to hear about all the support from your wonderful family and friends!
