I should start calling this post “Thankful Nap Time” since the only time I have to write it is when both of my boys are napping!  Here’s what I’m thankful for today:

1. I’m thankful my dad is coming to visit this week to meet his grandchildren for the first time!  I’m so excited to see him and for the boys to meet him!
2. I’m thankful for working for a company that has been so amazing to me throughout my journey to motherhood.  They have given me an unheard-of 6 months off to be with my boys who were born early and had to spend their first month of life in the hospital.  I’ll be forever grateful the their generosity!
3. I’m grateful for opportunities I get to leave the house, spend time with friends and family, and show my boys the world.  Leaving the house with them is pretty difficult on my own so I’m so thankful for all the help I have when I do take them somewhere or when I want to go somewhere on my own.
4. I’m thankful for my sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Ian, letting us use their 3rd car until we can buy a new one since we currently only have the Forester.
5. I’m grateful for early bedtimes and the evenings when the boys do go to bed early and sleep through the night.  Though they may be few and far between, I am no less happy for them.

Have a great day!
