I have some serious blog-catching-up to do. \u00a0The traveling back to Michigan took us a bit longer than we had anticipated, and we just wanted to play with everyone yesterday when we did get here.\u00a0Plus the wireless I was &#8220;borrowing&#8221; last time I was here, is no longer&#8230;ahem, free &#8211;\u00a0if you know what I mean &#8211; so it isn&#8217;t as easy to just hook up my laptop and work while the rest of the house sleeps. So we may be a bit scarce in the posting department this week, and I am going to skip BSM today, because, well&#8230;I haven&#8217;t had a chance to pick one out. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have a whole slew of new cousin pics coming up this week, since I&#8217;ve already taken a hundred or so photos, and we&#8217;ve only just been here 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>So what am I most thankful for these past three days?<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for my amazing little travelers. They really are continually the BEST kids on the plane. The &#8220;gentleman&#8221; (and I use that term loosely) behind us made a snarky remark to his seatmate after we had boarded (we took a quick trip to the restroom) and were climbing back into our seats. It was something to the effect of\u00a0 &#8220;great, why didn&#8217;t you tell me there were going to be KIDS right in front of me.&#8221; I held my tongue, although I really wanted to let him have it, and thankfully my girls proved him wrong. So for that I am thankful.<\/p>\n<p>I am also thankful that we have the means to be able to travel back and see our families. It is so amazing to watch my girls with Meesh&#8217;s girls. They are really beautiful together and it makes me a little sad that we don&#8217;t live closer. But it makes me so much more thankful for our special time together.<\/p>\n<p>And today I am also thankful that I got to have lunch with my oldest &#8220;best&#8221; friend from high school. She is the only one of my friends that really knew me before I was even J.&#8217;s girlfriend, much less his wife. So she is very special to me and I so appreciate our lunches together and the little bit of time we get to spend. (Also I&#8217;m thankful that she doesn&#8217;t mind the whole crew of girls, tagging along! Thanks, Vic!)<\/p>\n<p>So for all of those things, I am very thankful today.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you are all having a great start to your week &#8211; don&#8217;t forget to check out the other BSMs, we&#8217;ll get a BSTuesday maybe&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00a0have been so absent this weekend!
