Thankful

Just a quick post, because we've had a lot of rain (for our area) today, and I am grateful for the water.  I miss those sudden rainstorms that we had all the time in Iowa.  I love the smell of the air right after a rainstorm. 

Puppies are all vaccinated, and *sniff sniff* ready to head out to their new homes this weekend.  They're also in the garage right now, as it is a bit chilly outside, and I could see them shivering when I went out earlier.  With all the rain today, it was actually too cold to have the A/C on!  But the storm is over, for now, and the sun is shining, and life is pretty good.

Gratitude List:
* Rain!  We can always use rain here :)
* Puppies who are cute and cuddly, and who are also learning how to climb stairs and dig holes and get into the neighbors' yards ... (this age is where I am reminded why we don't keep all the puppies ourselves)
* A reliable car.
* Allergy shots.  I've been taking them for almost 2 years now, and I am much less prone to allergy attacks.  Now if I could only do something about those mosquitoes...
* Good music on my ipod.
* lots of kids to play with mine.
* Good friends and neighbors.
* Audiobooks.  They make car trips almost fun!
* A loving and supportive extended family.
* I have 3 healthy, relatively happy, children.
* I am still taller than Walker (barely)!
* God is good.
