Day 2,542

Thankful for: 

A nice relaxing Saturday morning. 

Not having to wake up to an alarm clock. 

I got to pick up my grandma for Armando's birthday party. It was nice to spend some extra time with her. 

We got to relax and watch an old movie at Armando's birthday party. 

We had delicious food. 

I got to take my grandma home from the party. It was nice to drive and talk with her. I really like night drives down dark roads. 

Not having to set my alarm for the next day. 

Time to laugh with family.

Thankful for: 

A fun day at work. I really like working on projects. 

We got to spend some extra time with Casey and Odette. 

Addy, Tobin, Casey, and Odette played outside. 

Tobin did his homework outside. 

We had leftover tacos for dinner. 

I got to give Odette a bath. It's always fun to give a little one a bath. I love the way she plays with the toys in the tub. 

Going to bed early.
