Thankful Thursday

I feel the need to express some gratitude today.  So, here are 5 things I'm thankful for right now.

1.  My tatting shuttle and thread.  I love that I can take two simple, ordinary things and use them to create something beautiful.  Right now I am working on an American Flag and I can hardly wait to finish it.

2.  Pinterest.  I found a new recipe today that may solve some of my excess squash dilemma.  I don't normally like to bake, but this one looked good.  I've also found many, many other fun crafts, blogs, and homeschooling ideas.

3.  Idaho's homeschooling laws.  I truly feel blessed to live in Idaho and school my children the way I feel they should learn, not the way someone in a big government building thinks they should learn.

4.  My midwife.  I'm glad I found someone who is such a good fit for me and my family, Robert even likes her. 

5.  My piano.  It's not the newest, or the greatest, but it works.  I'm so glad to be able to have music in my home and that my children love music.  I love hearing them practice and make up their own songs.  I love that I recently got to do a duet with my daughter for her piano recital and that we can share this together.
