Gratitude photos #14-#19

January 20th, 2016 at 04:30 am

I was visiting my parents in Va. Thursday through Monday with no access to a computer, but I did take photos for every day. Smile

Day 14: Technology while traveling with kids. Yes, it's the slightly lazy way out, but it's a godsend! It kept them sane on a long trip that lasted well after midnight.



Day 15: My 84-year-old dad, having some fun with my kids. Smile They don't see my parents very often and are normally very shy with them, but this trip was better, possibly because they'd just seen them back in October. So I was grateful for this casual moment that signified a closer bond between my dad and my kids.



Day 16: Nature art by AA. We visited the playground by my old elementary school and soon became wrapped up in collecting sticks and rocks. AA loves to arrange things and make art, so this was the natural next step. Grateful for my imaginative creative kids.



Day 17: Quality time with AS's mom, who also lives in Va. pretty close to my parents. Very grateful that all our parents are accepting of our unusual relationship and happy to call both kids their grandchildren, whether biological or not.



Day 18: Grateful for my mom, and any time I have with her, since I know someday she won't be with us anymore. She's crazy about kids, especially grandkids (mine are #12 and #13 and the only ones still minors), so it was nice to see her get to hang out with them a bit, even if she can't do much other than sit around on the couch.



Day 19: AA's suddenly neat handwriting! Pretty good for a 5-year-old, huh? (She did need help spelling these words.) I love having smart kids. (SL is super smart too, so I'm sure you'll see some of her handiwork throughout the year too.)



Whew! All caught up on gratitude. Big Grin
