days 5-8.

#5. today i'm grateful for the soft billowy fog that rolled in last night and stayed til mid-morning.
it sure made it easy to stay in our jammies for most of the day.

i'm also grateful for a large white envelope that came in the mail.
we got our golden ticket! (aka the I-171H form from immigration)
we are slowly but surely making our way to davis.
next up, registration dossier!

#6. today i'm grateful for the end of josh's football season.
i have a feeling coach jupin is grateful for that as well.

i'm also grateful for pumpkin waffles.
and recipes that make so many waffles, we happily share with neighbors!
i think they were quite grateful for them too!
the gift that keeps on giving!
:)

#7. today i'm grateful for the amazing ability to see just how messy our house is and how desperately it needs a good cleaning.
apparently i'm the only one in my family able to recognize this!
isn't is amazing?
i kid, i kid...(sort of)

today i'm grateful for a morning full of daylight.
this waking up every morning in the dark stuff was for the birds.
but this morning, the sun was up and shining brightly as i took the kids to the bus stop.
welcome back morning light!
we've missed you!

#8. today i'm grateful for my bestest friend on the planet.
my most favorite person ever.
the cutest boy i ever saw.
my husband john.
today is his birthday and i'm most grateful to be able to celebrate another year of his life.
he's pretty much awesome.
