Today I am thankful for . . .

. . . my little sister Heidi!!!

Many people on Facebook are doing 30 days of Thankfulness for the month of November.  I'm a little bit late to the party but I thought it would be a great way to get back into this blogging thing and what better day to start than today.  

Today is Heidi's birthday!  28 years ago today I stood next to my mom on her hospital bed and wondered what this little person they called Heidi was all about.  See . . .

Well, I didn't know it then but Heidi has grown up to be a wonderful person, a great sister and a fabulous friend.  Heidi is kind and caring, always putting first.  Heidi is super smart and super fun!  I am so thankful for my little sister.  She is truly a blessing in my life.

Happy Birthday Heidi!

I love you tons and tons!

SNOW!

"I am younger each year at the first snow.

When I see it, suddenly, in the air, all little and white and moving;

then I am in love again and very young and I believe everything."

Anne Sexton, in a letter to W. D. Snodgrass (November 28, 1958)

It started Sunday morning when we woke up to snow!  

Well sort of.  If you look really closely you can see the white stuff.

Reece and Sydney go outside to check it out.

Back inside for a warm up and some coffee.

 It's snowing again!

Let's have a snow dance party.

Happy girl and dog!

Then on Monday we got more snow and a house guest!

If the winter weather hit your home town, travel safe and stay warm.

One Word Wednesday - Birthday

341 days to go!

Inspired by Elise Joy, the Beantown Baker,
and a few others, I have decided to create a big list. 

Thirty things that I would like to do before I turn THIRTY!!!

I turn 30 on September 7, 2011 so that gives me a little bit
more than 11 months to complete this list.

I better get started!
