Saturday again!

Daddy is on the road today and we have been SO lazy. Hank either likes to sleep ALL day. Like 4 hour naps. OR he'll only take a couple 30 minute naps. Today must be a catch up day. He's been sleeping like crazy. Dang, I love him.


Today let me tell you what I'm thankful for:

1. Friends. Growing up I didn't love girls all that much. I always had a very close girlfriend or two and then spent a lot of time with the boys. However, I managed to pick up a GREAT group of ladies along the way. I have a best friend from 5th grade, a few from Midway, a few from church planting, a few from the church I grew up in, and have even landed some jewels in Alabama. I could go on. The main point? These women love Jesus, they are honest with me, they listen to me whine and complain, we can do really fun things together or nothing at all and walk away with full hearts and good memories. Thankful for friends and women to do life with (whether in person, by mail, or text messages.. it's all good).

2. My little girl, Landry. She has proved her awesomeness once again. This week we were all reunited. She LOVED Hank. She was such a huge help and has such a sweet spirit. She is so smart and often knows what I'm about to say before I say it. Love that child. We will be happy for her to start school but super sad to see her go. I'm sure we have many spend the night parties in our future either way.

3. My sister Hollie. She gets to stay home with her boys now. Her daily texts since Hank was born have really helped my sanity sometimes. Her youngest, Ramsey, is 6 months older than Hank. It is so fun to talk about Hank and her boys. Hollie always does a good job of talking me down when I get overwhelmed or stressed out. I remember a time in middle school that I was home alone and had a huge assignment due the next day or something. I called her crying and all stressed out. I remember her telling me to breathe, go take a bath, and get back to work later. Thank goodness for a sister who doesn't laugh at my ridiculousness but helps me out of it.
