This week list of things I'm thankful for:
1) Being pushed outside of my comfort zone. In the past few weeks I've been a substitute preschool teacher (in a music class, no less!) and been interviewed for our local tv news. I've been challenged, but I've received an equal boost in self-confidence.
2) Milestones. It's sometimes hard for this sentimental mama to look back and think about how tiny my kiddos used to be. How dependent they were on Big J and I for everything. But I am also puffed up with all kids of pride when I see them reach new milestones and accomplishments.
3) Jello and Bananas. Especially bananas, Miss M's top food pick since she had her tonsils out on Monday.
4) Our local 'family'. We have had plenty of prayers and support leading up to, and since, Miss M's surgery on Monday. Our parents don't live nearby, so it has been wonderful to have our local 'family' checking on us. Yes, mostly checking on Miss M, but also asking how the rest of us are holding up, too. (Those first 36 hours post-surgery were alternately restful and challenging....)

I am being pushed outside my comfort zone, too! It is exciting and scary.
'Family' is priceless. I am so glad that you had the support and that the surgery went well.
Great list!
I hope the surgery went well. I was thinking about you guys! By the way Anna LOVES bananas. Good choice Miss M.
