Home | Thankful days

Today I'm thankful to be able to cuddle on the couch with my croupy little man, for humidifiers that enable said sick toddler to sleep through the night, for my daddy because it's his birthday today, to be able to season my cast iron skillets (because I'm so over teflon), eat cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese for breakfast, to have all the windows open, and to have a mother-in-law who makes the sweetest and most beautiful blankets for her grandsons. This one, in soft turquoise, is for the baby, and looks just like Seb's white one that he currently won't part with for two seconds.

Cody took Saturday in addition to Sunday off this weekend (after writing a paper that I'm pretty sure sucked the life out of all of us) and will soon be done with his first year of Div school! Exactly a week from today we'll be making a pit stop in Wilmington to celebrate my little sister's birthday and to break up the 11 hour drive from here to Michigan. Then we'll be spending a blissful week in Hillsdale, where Cody will spend the morning hours writing his last paper of the semester, and where Seb and I will spend the morning hours trying to find the Hillsdale library, taking walks in all the familiar places, and exploring the natural wonders of the Arb. Oh, and visiting lots of old friends, too. Our trip doesn't end there, but you don't need to be bothered with all the details just yet, I think. So this week I hope to do some deep cleaning, like to our shower and and area rugs, some dusting and maybe some nesting, because who knows when this wee little babe is going to show up.

P.S. If you're looking for some crafty/DIY/nesting inspiration. Kaite doesn't disappoint. I'm contemplating making her my personal seamstress...
