A Total NaBloPoMo Cop-Out

Today?  I kind of just don't feel like writing.  But I am not ready to give up just yet.  NaBloPoMo calls.

So, I thought I would post some pictures of things that are related to gratitude (kind of).

Let's begin.

These are out new sock monkeys (one for Claire, one for Jack).  Their names are Monkmellious Mee-Mee-Schwee-Schwee Munglewood II and Pinky.  I am grateful for these monkeys for two reasons.  First, I am grateful for them because they were a gift for my kids from a friend who recently moved to Texas.  Second, I am grateful that there was a Monkmellious Mee-Mee Schwee-Schwee Munglewood the First.

I am grateful for Mo.  Mo passed away last October from heart failure, but I had him for about ten years and for that, I am grateful.  I miss him.

I am also grateful for my siblings.  Here we are in Oregon, in 2008.   This was pre-baby - I was still skinny (I was 12 weeks pregnant in this picture)!  This is why I feel like I need three kids...I have a brother and a sister and I love them dearly and can't imagine life without them (even though we are several states away) and I want my own kids to have a similar relationship.

And with that, this post is done (ohhh, I should say here that I'm grateful for blogging because I can write whatever I want however I want to with whatever punctuation I choose).
