Thankful Thursday

Today I thought I'd just write free-form for my Thankful Thursday...


I am thankful that our dossier for our next daughter is on its way to China. We were officially DTC on October 16th and will anxiously wait for our log-in-date.

I am thankful for the friends and family who are praying and will continue to pray for us during the very long road ahead of us. It means a lot to us!

I am thankful that my copy of Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld arrived yesterday! Ironically, I ordered the book BEFORE her appearance on Oprah, the Today Show, and all the other circuits. I had heard of recipes with ways to "sneak" veggies in food and really felt like I needed to start doing that with Lindy (actually all of us). During my search, I stumbled across the Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious and opted for the latter. I am really excited to give this a try!

I am thankful for a phone call from my Aunt Nadine yesterday. It was just out of the blue and a nice addition to my morning.

I am thankful I had a chance to talk to my brother, Jeff, this week. I don't get to talk to him often but am always glad when I do.

I am thankful I get to go to Jenn's house for Girls' Night In tonight.

I am thankful our friend Mark A. returned home safely from a trip to Korea.

I am thankful our friend Mark B. is out of the hospital after a health scare.

I am thankful for good news from Pamela about their upcoming adoption of Garrett from Korea.

I am thankful Kate & Doug are traveling to China next week to bring home Noah. Kate was my Secret Panda Pal while we were waiting to adopt Lindy and is a sweet friend. She is the busy mommy to twins, Sophie & Avery.

God is so good! What are you thankful for today?

I so want that cookbook, too!! You'll have to let me know if the recipes really are as good as Oprah said.

Yet another surprise...I asked for Deceptively Delicious for Christmas - hoping my mom comes through:)

I love your list and am especially thankful that mei mei is getting closer!

So nice you had some unexpected conversations this week, that is always so fun!

Blessings for a wonderful weekend.

Love,
Heather

Hey, I'm at PP's office so it's quick, but I had to let you know that your comment with the "boo-hiss" made me CRACK UP! I was hearing in my head the old lady from The Princess Bride when she was saying "booooo!" Thanks for the giggle! ;)

What a nice list! Thanks for the tip on the book. I'm going to order it. My teenager hates veggies so this will be perfect.
