We figured this was as good a time as any to comment on the things we love and are thankful for...especially since Thanksgiving is here. But wait, wasn't it just summer? I feel 87 years old saying this, but time really does fly! Ok...now onto the list (in keeping with our theme, ML loves making lists...lists of things to do, things to buy, what to cook for the week, quotes she likes...the list goes on...)
What I Love...
GCC: Learning more about my partner in crime every day, watching Lily fight falling asleep, Saturdays with nothing to do...Sundays with nothing to do after that Saturday with nothing to do...teaching and coaching, watching my brothers grow up, that feeling of lying down at night knowing you have had a fulfilling, full day...DVR...I know it should go further down the list...but I really really like DVR...chocolate chip muffins....chocolate chip pie....chocolate chip cookies...white chocolate mocha coffee...reading biographies and trying to figure out how that person would be in today's world....debating either side of a topic, no matter which I believe more...sitting with Boomer on the couch while he puts his head back...meeting new people that challenge your views...catching up with old friends who reaffirm your views...loud family dinners....quiet cups of coffee on the porch....finishing a project that you had no business doing, but it coming out right (only have had this once, but I anticipate more).....I really love being a husband and father. I love saying that I'm a husband and father and feel like its weird still. I love thinking about what Lily is going to be interested in, who her friends will be, and how much she is going to torture Boomer. I love Mary Lynn and how she is caring, creative, calming, and cute (had to stick with a "C"). Lastly...I love chances to tell people they are important....so thanks for reading our blog!
ML: My hub Gregory Colin, our sweet Lily-pie, soft baby clothes and blankets (really all things baby!), Boomer, our amazing family (and the best parents/grandparents anyone could ask for!), my next door neighbor and his girlfriend :), Skyline and LaRosa's only being about a minute walk away, soccer, playing soccer, watching soccer, living near Cbus to see the Crew play soccer, the summer, addictive reality shows like The Hills, the Real World, Little People Big World (I want to live on the Roloff Farm), the Challenge, Top Chef, Real Housewives of Orange County...Atlanta...(I want Nene as a friend b/c she cracks me up), my Wild Kingdom girls, my Tremor group at P&G, having time off work with Lily until June!, my friends who have had babies recently and all their amazing advice, rocking chairs, traveling anywhere and everywhere (is it too early to take Lily to Europe?), a good book, Starbuck's grande non-fat white chocolate mocha half-decaf half-reg sometimes with light whip...with a gift card, finding $20 in my jeans that I haven't worn since I was 3 months pregnant, Kenwood mall walking with my mommy friends and our strollers, looong naps even after a full night of sleep, running marathons (definitely NOT the training...more the finishing of a marathon), Thursday night television (does it get any better than Grey's, CSI Vegas and The Office??!) and then reciting memorable Office quotes with Greg - "MYTH: 3 Americans die every year from rabies...FACT: 4 Americans die every year from rabies," the iconic movie "A Christmas Story", finding old friends on FaceBook, reading old journals, writing in a journal, First Watch, goetta, getting fun mail (real postal mail...not just email), and like Greg said...the list could go on and on!
Lily: my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, Boomer giving me dog kisses, clean Pampers diapers (shhh...don't tell anyone we have a pack of Huggies too!), nap time, my swaddle, when daddy comes home from work, looking at lights and hearing my mommy and daddy's voices, "butts-er-cizes" with daddy to get rid of my tummy bubbles, all my new friends, car rides and shopping in my stroller (so far I've been to the Starbuck's drive-thru, the Container store, Baby Gap and many rides on the elevator at Kenwood mall!)
Boomer: my Kong with smooth peanut butter and treats inside, racing around at Otto Armleder park, walks, runs with Uncle Dave and crack of the morning runs with Greg, Dog Park...I mean Deer Park where every dog seems to bark at me as I walk by...but I just stare..., Harley & Bailey and Belle, sleeping on my doggy bed, chocolate chip muffins...right off the countertop!, the whipped cream on top of a french silk pie (again - they left it right on the counter top for me at the Cole's house!), sitting my butt up on the couch, car rides and my favorite new buddy in the whole world...Lily.
