Thankful Thursday's

This was a very busy day and a day of lasts. It was Doodlebugs last school program for the year and our last playgroup. Due to schedules we won't be able to get together as a group. I know there will be many more firsts and lasts to come but today was the real first of the lasts.

I was sad today because of the lasts but in thinking of my thankfullness for this Thursday I am thankful for Doodlebugs school and especially her teacher. Our family was truely blessed at having this teacher in her life. Her caring, kindness, patience, warmth and compassion as well as her understanding of Doodlebugs temperment were amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better fit for her first adventures with school.

I am also extremely thankful for our playgroup. It has been wonderful for Doodlebug to have such terrific playmates, but really this group was more for me then for her if I really think about it. This is a group of truely amazing women and what they have given me could never be thanked for enough. They were sounding boards, adivce columnists, shoulders to cry on, idea gatherers, google and yahoo combined. But what was the most impactful for me is their faith. The strengh they gather from their faith has just made such an difference in me and my own struggles with faith. Even though we won't be getting together as a playgroup I will still keep all these amazing women in my life. Not just for myself but hopefully to be a strength for them as we work our ways through parenthood and life.
