I\u2019ve forgotten how lovely it can be to be alone in the car with a good song on and a bright moon.<\/li>\n<li>How August is learning to entertain his brother. They have the sweetest budding friendship.<\/li>\n<li>The promise of grilled veggies on our early Christmas present from my mother-in-law. (Thanks for the grill, Basia!)<\/li>\n<li>Brooksie\u2019s ecstatic joy in the bathtub. (Such happiness that I\u2019m sure his bouncy bottom is going to shoot him face-first into the water at any moment.)<\/li>\n<li>August had a blood test yesterday. Shots are one thing, but having someone take a vile of blood from a three years alive arm is something utterly more heart-churning. He screamed the whole time while I sang in his ear and cried. (I couldn\u2019t help it.) Sometimes I shocked at how much I love him, how his pain can hurt me, how easy it is to hold him over the toilet while he pukes, or clean his vomit-soaked sheets. I\u2019m thankful for that. For mother-love: for that guttural, physical love for my boys in me.<\/li>\n<li>August told the doctor yesterday that I had a BIG stomach and I didn\u2019t believe him. That\u2019s worth being thankful about, right?<\/li>\n<li>Eating pizza with college freshmen and talking about John 1 with them. How I love John, chapter 1. Such poetry and drama and Jesus (some of my favorite things)!<\/li>\n<li>Soy cheese on a pizza really doesn\u2019t taste that bad!<\/li>\n<li>Soy cheese on a breakfast taco really doesn\u2019t taste that bad!<\/li>\n<li>I ate really well Sunday.<\/li>\n<li>What does my oldest son want to be for Halloween? His ideas include: a finger, a window, a door, a tooth, a germ, or pancakes. Where did that brain come from??? I love him and I\u2019m so thankful he\u2019s \u201cunique.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Late nights beside my husband on the couch. This is a good life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>And you?
