My daily gratitude for:

1. Aiden and Ryan playing together. This melts my heart in all the good ways. It was my joy to see them playing together yesterday, and to play with them too.
2. Sam Luber, who is a great father and friend. His family has been so kind to Liz and I and important to Ryan too. These are the people you need when you raise a child.
3. My work. Ryan suggested this to me as I was writing this. And it’s true. I’m thankful for a place that is flexible, passionate, and understanding all the time.
4. The Easter beach trip a couple years ago with Kristen and Jacob- they were there for me and supportive in the perfect way.
5. St Patrick’s Day with Carleigh and Levi a couple years ago. Again, they were a place of joy when it was needed.
6. Ryans creaky voice when he is sick! It is the most cute thing ever!
7. The neighborhood where we live. I like the neighbors, and I like the fact that there are multiple kids around.
