After some inspiration from my Facebook friends I have decided to have a month of Thankfullness. So, each day I will try to post something we are thankful for...here we go...
On Day 1 we are Thankful for our Ma Pat. She took three weeks away from her life - and Pa Lar - in Oregon to come and stay with us and help out with Parker and Riley. We were so blessed to have her with us - and we made some great memories in the process!
Playing ball out in the yard - there was some story about Space Captain Parker and Space Captain Ma Pat - I couldn't keep up with it all...
Ma Pat showed Parker how fun it could be to have a lunch picnic in his park. Soup, oranges, and carrots taste much better outside!
She also taught Parker how cool it is to draw up in his playhouse - lots of airplanes and rocket ships can now be seen up there.
Ma Pat loves to spoil Parker with special treats - like Halloween sprinkle cookies that he got to help make. It was a great time and he got to eat the results! Yum!
She even treated Mommy, Parker, and Riley to our first sushi outing post-pregnancy! It was delicious and Parker's apple juice came in a Panda mug!
Finally, Ma Pat is great for snuggles - she showed Parker how to snuggle Baby Sister and she got in lots of snuggle time herself.
So, Day 1 we are Thankful for our Ma Pat - and especially thankful for all those mornings when she got up with Parker so Mommy and Riley could sleep a little longer!
Way to make a MaPat cry, dontcha know? I'm so incredibly thankful for all of you and inviting me to come and share with you during this amazing time in your lives. Memories that will indeed last a life time.
