thankful challenge, day 5...

today i am thankful for...

1.  the library.  i love, love, love books.  while growing up, my parents always took the time to read to us and to make sure there were lots of books around.  all of us grown-up kids now have a great appreciation and addiction to books.  i want to make sure my kids catch the book bug, as well.  i read to remi several times a day.  every time i sit on the couch he runs and grabs a book for me to read to him, then another, and another, and another...  now that he's finally old enough we go to the library once a week for story time and check out books for him.  that's also my opportunity to check out a new book for me every week.  i love it!  i used to spend lots and lots of money on books but have since realized that i don't want to keep and reread every book i've ever bought.  thank you, library!  three cheers for the public library system!!  hip, hip, hooray!

2.  for the birth of my new nephew, christian michael deKay.  jonathon's wife, lauren, delivered a healthy baby boy yesterday morning.  lauren was a champ during the whole experience, no complications, and they now have a happy boy to welcome into their family.  welcome to the world, christian!
