Thankful Thursdays

So I missed the first Thursday in November but luckily there are five in the month this year so I can make up for it a bit. I like this tradition of writing a few things I am thankful for each week.

This week, I am thankful:

1. That Penelope is such a happy baby. She is almost always smiling or laughing and she really only cries when she is hungry (or teething). When she is fussy on occasion, people say - wow, that's the first time I've heard her cry!

2. That the weather has finally turned and we have some cool temps. I miss having four distinct seasons, so these two weeks (I'm being generous) of Fall weather that we get each year are my favorite. I love sleeping with the windows open at night and even though it freezes Matt out, he lets me open them.

3. For a job that gives me flexibility and independence. I don't think I could survive punching a clock somewhere after being a consultant with my own hours and now having a job where I can work some days from home and spend time with my kids, working during naptime and at night. I am also grateful that they don't mind if I have to come in early to leave early, or come in late and stay later to get my hours in each week. As long as it all gets done!
