I am grateful that we get to go to St. Louis. I'm glad that Ryan was accepted to all of the schools he applied to, but I'm also glad that scholarship offers made the decision to go to St. Louis easy to make.

I am grateful for the internet and the ability to search for apartments in St. Louis from Madison.

I am very grateful that I could try a new exercise class today. I went to Zumba for the first time and although I didn't get all the latin-dancing moves right away, I did have fun.

I'm grateful that Chris could dance with me in the kitchen today. I have a lot of fun with that kid, and he helps me be happy and energetic.

I'm grateful that I could really clean my kitchen floor today. I love having clean floors.

I'm grateful for Chris's innocence. Today, Max was sitting on the floor and had an explosive poop. It was quite loud for such a little baby. Chris looked at Max with mouth agape and then looked at me and said, "Mom, Max sounds like lightening." He was right, but I couldn't help but laugh.
