things i'm thankful for...

  • time with the robertsons
  • 3 naps and one book from start to finish during the car ride to virginia (3 naps = all mine)
  • "stopping by" to see shea
  • she's still got it - the ability to sleep during travel (so maybe it's should've been 4 naps)


  • texas trash and apple butter (and forgotten about surprises!)
  • delicious cracker barrel
  • time on the treadmill
  • the way nick leads our family devotion time


  • girls catching snowflakes on their tongues
  • the chance to empathize...
  • layers.  not being cold. 
  • ski lodge + bag o' books + mumford & sons playlist 


  •  emma gave skiing another try - and loved it!
  • the way caroline took emma to the bunny slope and stayed with her
  • getting to write about a friend's amazingness in a reference form
  • f.a.m.i.l.y. time


  • breakfast in bed from caroline
  • monticello!
  • a great second interview and "you're our top candidate" for one courageous KJ
  • larger than life men and their legacies


  • the freedom we have in america
  • tickle fights
  • memories of DC 
  • thomas jefferson and his quotes


  • when something goes wrong and the company/customer service makes it right (and it ends up being way better than the original plan!!)

  • marco polo fun with friends
