Small Successes and Thankful Thursday

MORNING!!!!!! I'm trying to get back to blogging. We went out of town for a week at the start of June (I LOVE autoblogging and scheduled postings writeen ahead of time) to Disney and it was an amazing trip. I wanted to post pics, but then we got into two weeks of VBS at my church, and my sister's. I actually taught for the 1st year at our church's. I taught K, and it was a LOT of work - so I thank all K teachers out there!! Then....I got sick lol. I guess the overdoing got to me.

So, I do have lots of fun pictures to post! I can't wait. Being sick this week (and the summer routine, I just don't get to the computer like I used to) has me behind - so I think I'll combine past weeks for my 3 successes.


1. Hubby and I became officially Godparents on Sunday. It was a lovely service (if I may add, better than my own Valiant's was LOL!!!!) and then we hosted the Baptism party at our house. It was such a nice day!!! (Even if I got sick that night with the head cold and have not breathed since...hehe). We feel very touched to be in E's life - especially Hubby. Even though we have a lot of "adopted by us" nieces and nephews, friends, etc for him especially being listed on an official document when he does not have a lot of family to call his own, was really a tender moment.

2. I sewed another pillow and got my chairs covered in the dining room as the sewing projects continued. My sister helped to hem the curtains I made, and fix mistakes I made too. I'll have to remember to post some new pictures.

3. I have taken time to rest - for me!! I've had some errands to run, meetings to attend, and a fun pancake breakfast family style with dear ones - but I've also napped and TON and gone to bed early. Hubby has helped to make this happen. In fact, post breakfast today...I'll go back to rest. I think we'll play kid movies in the bedroom so I can just recover in bed. I REALLY don't want another Sinus infection! I'm afraid having just been ill 3 months ago I'll get resistance to antibiotics!

Oh - big news for tomorrow and whenever I can post....Baby Valiant turns ONE tomorrow! My baby girl is getting BIG!!! I'm not sure how I feel about this.....

So there is my week! Now...my thankful list...
