1. I am grateful we meet with a realtor today to look at houses. We saw 2 that we really like. Now the fun of trying to decide between them. And seeing if we get an offer accepted.

2. I am grateful Nick puts up with my Percy Jackson obsession.

3. I am grateful the crock pot dinner turned out just right so we could eat as soon as we got back from looking at houses.

1. I am grateful we went on a family walk today after church. I was feeling very blessed and content with my life while on it. It was good to hear the girls laugh, and good to talk with Nick, and feel the warm sun.

2. I am grateful that Roselyn ate well today. Yeah a lot still ended up in the high chair, but she was eating what we were giving her.

3. I am grateful my parents got to see Roselyn stand by herself while talking on Google Hangouts. She was so pleased with herself she just giggled. And they loved it too.

1. I am grateful Nick got home safely today. He drove to California yesterday for his great aunt's funeral, and drove back today. There was rain, and that is a lot of driving in a short period of time, so I am grateful he is home safe.

2. I am grateful we could laugh together as I told Nick how Claire threw a fit when I was getting her milk before she said "please." I've apparently trained her well.

3. I am grateful I took time to just soak in and appreciate hearing my children laugh today. Their laughter is the best sound in the world.

1. I am grateful I survived going to the grocery store with both girls by myself. More stores need shopping carts with 2 seats. Claire was on the floor a few times, but didn't run away from me, so that is good.

2. I am grateful Roselyn took 2 hour long naps today. I hope this becomes a trend!

3. I am grateful Nick let me sleep in for 2 hours this morning. I think I'm fighting some sort of illness that makes me more tired than usual. I have a sore throat when I swallow, and it was really hard to get up this morning, but it was so nice that Nick didn't rush out the door to work, he got the girls up and made sure I was ready to be with them before he left.

1. I am grateful I got to go to Target by myself today.

2. I am grateful a hot bath helped relax my back. I was really tight and it hurt a lot, and I felt better afterwards. I'm not sure why I was tight, but I think it might be a combination of exercising this morning and being annoyed with Claire.

3. I am grateful my mother-in-law is willing to babysit for us this week.

1. I am grateful I felt the Spirit in the primary room with Claire during sacrament meeting today. She was a little bit frustrating at church, but I really felt like I was doing a good thing in getting her be prepared for what was coming when she has to go to sunbeams instead of nursery.

2. I am grateful I deleted candy crush from my phone. It meant I spent more time with my daughters, and while I was rocking Roselyn for a nap I read scriptures instead of playing games.

3. I am grateful Nick found a YouTube video showing how to fold Claire's play tent. And I am grateful I was able to work out the kinks in it so it can stand up normal again. I was really frustrated trying to put it away, feeling like it was broken after one week, and I a prayer and soon after was able to fix it and put it away.
