Thankful

Really, I could continue with this for another month.
I have so much to be thankful for:

amazing friends
my cozy Cape Cod
food in the fridge
unbelievable parents
a big bed with warm sheets

the list goes on and on.

Today, on my last day to officially give thanks,
I am thankful for this blog
and all of you who read it.

I started thinking about it today - how glad I am that I started this silly blog.

It has been here to track those first few months of motherhood.
You know, when I was so in awe of Lane
and so very tired.
When I had no clue what I was doing
but knew I loved doing it.

I've shared so much with all of you.
Memories of my pregnancy with Lane.
Personal revelations.
Reflections on infertility.
Loss.
Gain.

It is great to have this online journal to look back on and see how both
Lane and I have grown.

Most of all, I'm happy that I have the simple memories recorded.
You know, moments like today when Lane and I rolled around on the kitchen floor after he came in from a rainy outside.

This boy makes me laugh.
I'm not sure if I will remember simple moments like these.
But, this blog makes that possible.

I'll always have the photos and the way I felt at that moment recorded.

I'm not sure if Lane will ever care about this blog.
If he'll ever look at it or read it.

I wonder if I'll come back to it long after I've stopped recording my thoughts.

However, today I'm thankful for this blog so I can record the simple memories,
like baking brownies together to take to preschool tomorrow morning.

So he can celebrate turning two with his teacher and classmates.
Two years of our life with Lane.

Two years of lovely moments.
Here are a few of my favorite:

Good morning my loves
Monday morning meeting
Light of my life
It still fits but he won't wear it now
My boy loves his dog
Some things never change
This still makes us laugh
