Things We Are Thankful For Today

Today we are thankful for:

1. The wonderful news that Nana Peanut is recovering and will, hopefully, be able to go home from the hospital soon. We have all been praying for her over the past few days.

2. A good day at church yesterday. Miss attended Sunday School, or "Kids' Class" as she calls it, for the first time at our new church. She had a wonderful time, and didn't want to leave. It's a definite sign of her feeling much more secure here in our new environment. We were also able to stay for a fellowship luncheon after the service yesterday, and we had a nice talk with several members of the church. As I've written here before, we have been so encouraged by the kindness and warm reception we've received there.

3. A warm, sunny Sunday which allowed for a beautiful walk around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. We are loving the beauty of the lakes, and the handy double-stroller-friendly paths situated around them.

4. Miss making us laugh with her ever-expanding vocabulary. She informed me yesterday that she was *furious* with her brother. She has also picked up the habit of shaking our hands and saying "congratulations" when she goes to bed at night. Don't know where she got that one, but it entertains us.

5. The *big* thunderstorms that came through our area this evening, dumping marble-sized hail all over the grass outside our apartment window. Miss was quite taken with the whole experience, and she actually loves to hear the "clouds bumping into each other."

6. Caribou Coffee. More prevalent than Starbucks here in the Twin Cities, it is just as tasty and wonderfully caffeinated. Mommy loves her coffee.

7. Wagner's Drive-In, where the burgers are tasty, and the food is cheap!
