Yesterday was Veteran’s Day and I had a lot that I wanted to get done around here. 

Starting with something big for Jon. He’s been working so much lately that I wanted to make sure when he gets home this weekend he won’t have to clean up the yard.

So, the girls and I spent a few hours raking up all the leaves.

I’m thankful for the help the girls give me around the house when I need it or for watching Lucy whenever I need them to. Like yesterday when I took some time out to go running. I’m thankful that I had another great running partner while Jon was at work. 

I’m thankful that I had a few minutes of peace yesterday to sit and have some tea (and that these two found me and kept me company)

I’m also thankful that these two are getting along:
