Grateful for walks with the kids and gettting some fresh air.  It was pretty fresh as the wind was picking up and blowing in a snowstorm.  Thusly…it was a short walk.

Grateful for a hubby that buys me a new jacket for no reason other than because he thought it was “me”. 🙂

Grateful for fresh snowfall so the kids FINALLY have snow to play in this winter (see picture above re: our lack of snowfall).  It was wet and sloppy and perfect for building snowmen.

Grateful for a basketball season coming to a close.  Kailan seemed to enjoy it, though attendance by his team was spotty at best.  Perhaps another year with a more dedicated team may make it more enjoyable.  You are jealous of his shooting form, aren’t you?  😉 

Grateful for little urchins that *mostly* behave in church.  A certain little girl likes to be held most of the time, which can be a bit hard on the back after the first 30 minutes.  😉  (This was taken after Ash Wednesday Mass)

I am grateful for generous people.  Saturday morning we went for a charity walk on a team for our friend’s son who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in December.  It’s been hard on him, but he is a little trooper.  The walk raised $2.1 million for diabetes research.

I am grateful that Anya got up in time for us to go to the walk.  We had to be there at 7:40 am, and most days I am still trying to get her out of bed at that time!
