Wordless Wednesday/Thankful Thursday- January 30/31

Another combo post.  :-)  It has been a busy and productive couple of days and I just didn't get on the computer.

I am trying to look for and be grateful for the little things; the things that would slip by as "ordinary," yet are very special like...

a great Italian lesson this week



animals whose antics really make us laugh


delicious, warm, homemade bread, especially when its made by one of the kiddos


and a kiddo who not only made his grandfather and grandparents a wonderful birthday/anniversary cake, but who knows what the requirements are for his Civil Air Patrol and works diligently to fulfill them.



What are you grateful for this week?  I am sharing with these lovely ladies:

Love the kitty photo. Cats have awesome personalities.

Did I tell you that my daughter was in the Civil Air Patrol? She was one of two girls.

Anyway, yes, we should always just be grateful for the ordinary too.

Love the photos of your family and pets.

Have a great week.

It really is in those little things that we can find huge enjoyment, isn't it?! Loved the pictures this week! Thank you for so faithfully linking up.

I love how your son irons his own CAP uniform. My daughter also ironed her own uniforms when she was in CAP. My son in Jr. ROTC -- not so much. Looks like another great week of learning and love at your house!

Wow, such memorable moments you've captured of the kiddos! I wish to God I would've taken more pics of my kids when they were little, but I was a single mother and working 24/7 to support four kids, but I'm making up for it now with pics, pics, and more pics of them and the kiddos!!! Thanks for sharing. Going to see if I'm following you.
