Nine

I can't believe my boy is nine. He came through bright and early - as I knew he would and snuggled for a bit while we waited for Sophie to wake up. She wasn't long behind him thankfully - he was desperate to get into his presents. We gave him a new scooter and he was soooo delighted and couldn't wait to try it out. During the day I asked him how he felt on his birthday to which he replied "I feel 9". I love this kid.

Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for in my life. Yesterday I was thankful for a wonderful healthy family, friends who hosted a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, friends who unexpectedly brought a small gift for everyone and made the kids day, and friends who are good company.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Thought Threads

I started a new online journalling course yesterday. I've been meaning to do this for a while and am so glad I found Stephanie's course. I started with 6 prompts, planning to give 10 mins to each, but once I started writing I couldn't stop and was surprised by the things that were coming out onto the paper. I'm hoping this will be a new daily habit, and that I can incorporate some art into it too, to make an art journal of sorts. I've got a good feeling about this.
