Back at the beginning of my maternity leave I had the idea of posting something everyday about our time home together. Well now I know that was impossible. So here I am posting seven weeks into my stay at home. And I just counted it...someone asked the other day, "How many days left?" I have not been counting and keeping track at all. I have been trying to enjoy each day as it comes. Trying not to look at the already filled October calendar. I have been keeping up with one of my favorite things....blogging. That includes reading blogs by other people as well. One blogger writes...Gratitude of the Week. I thought that seems much more manageable than a daily blog of our time together. And what better way to recognize the things I am so grateful for.

Gratitude of the Week

Above all...the opportunity to get to be apart of our girls lives right now. This is so very special to experience this time with them. Being able to watch them grow and learn just a few more hours each day!!

Snuggling in the mornings. Each morning Lucy climbs in, I go and get Charley when she wakes up and we lay together for an hour or so. Laughing, smiling, talking, kissing and snuggling....doesn't get much better than that. I might need to make time for this when I go back to work. And the weekends, when Dad is home, that is when we need a king size bed. Oh and I can't forget Tiki at our feet.
