2) Two thumb-suckers who fall asleep so much more beautifully than non-thumb suckers. Vincey even shares his blankie when necessary as Lauren actually prefers his over hers.
3) I am thankful that we live close to both sets of grandparents so that they can all have a close relationship with my kids.
4) Medela.
5) Jigsaw puzzles.
6) I also married into an awesome family who doesn't seem to mind being guinea pigs for all of my holiday cooking experiments - be prepared for Thursday!
7) Spellcheck
8) The ability to read. Literacy really is a blessing. Just imagine all the daily tasks that you take the ability to read for granted. Also imagine all the great books, articles, etc you would miss out on.
9) Humor. I am also grateful for Carol Burnett's 'Gone With the Wind' skit that makes me almost pee my pants just thinking about it - I have no idea why that has always struck me as the funniest scene EVER. (Go ahead and youtube it - you know you want to.)
10) Soft and warm down comforters.
11) Low-maintenance buzz haircuts for boys. (I hope these always stay in style.)
12) My mother-in- law for taking notes down during my babies' blessings.
13) The most generous, crafty, helpful and fun sister in the world (I'll let the four of you fight amongst yourselves over this but I think we all agree on who this one is.)
