Thankful Thursday

It has been awhile since I have done a thankful Thursday post.  So this Thursday I am thankful for:

~All of the laundry I do every week because it means we are blessed with much.

~Claire's recovery from her surgery.  She is doing great with her 2 digital ears!  She was so proud to go to school and show her friends that she now has 2!
I know you can't see her 2 digital ears in this picture but isn't she just so cute?

~Hunter receiving Honorable mention for his Young Author's book!  Out of over 100 students, Hunter's book was in the top 12!

~Family.  It was great seeing my Grandpa again.  It was hard to say goodbye though, he is 95 and I don't know when we will get to see him again.

~Snow day projects.  Brianna and I worked on Caleb's measuring board during one of our snow days earlier this month.  Now we can keep track of his growth with the other kids!

~Caleb's successful oral surgery on Monday.  Caleb needed a lot of dental work so it was decided to do outpatient surgery and just take care of all it at once.  Poor baby ended up having 15 teeth that needed work.  We initially only thought 8 needed work so we were surprised when the dentist told us how many really needed work.  He also had his tongue clipped at the same time.  He was very tongue tied and it was affecting his speech and his ability to eat certain things.  So glad to have it done now maybe he will start gaining weight!

 His tongue close up..I don't know if you can tell but his tongue makes a heart shape
 After surgery..he only wanted mommy and to sleep
 He did not want to wake up and he struggled with vomiting.  We were in recovery for 6 hours.
 On our way home..he still isn't feeling too well
He is happy again at home!  This was taken later on the same day as surgery!

What are you thankful for?
