Thankful Thursday..an invitation

Where did the week go? I can't believe it's Thursday again already!

This week I'd like to try something a little different. If you have a blog, I would love for you to join me on Thankful Thursday! I've had a few people send me links to their blogs over the past few weeks because they had written their own Thankful Thursday posts. I loved reading them, and would love to read yours! So this week, if you write a post (it doesn't have to be today :)), link up to it using the tool at the bottom of this post. I'll start adding it every week so we can share the thankfulness!

1. Orange and yellow leaves on the trees

2. The crunch of the leaves under my feet

3. The warm fall days we've had this week

4. Apples, applesauce, apple pies....mmmmm:)

5. Being able to bake fresh bread without cooking out the house!

6. Pumpkins....they are in my top 10 lists of favorite fruits (vegetable? Gourds? whatev.), and I'm so thankful to live in an area where there are lots!

7. Zumba....steering away from the autumn theme for a minute, but I was thinking last night as I was dancing my heart out how thankful I am to be able to move like I do in zumba. Did that sound conceited? LOL It wasn't meant to be. I was thinking more along the lines of how all of our joints and muscles and limbs work together to be able to do awesome things like zumba :)

8. Danica's determination. Last week, she started crawling. This week, she wants to "walk" everywhere with me holding her hands. Despite many bumps to the head, that girl is determined to get up and run! I'm so thankful that she has that quality :)

9. The air. Specifically, the cool, crisp, autumn air...it's the best for taking deep breaths!

10. My crock pot. It's helped me make some awesome dinners this week!

11. My Tassimo machine. Coffeeeee.

12. My new pantry. I should do an entirely different post on that one. I love LOVE it, because it makes my kitchen look organized!

13. Vitamins C and D. They are very important in our house right now, as everyone is getting a cold. Away with you, colds!

14. That my sister in laws and mother in law introduced me to the wonderful world of quilting. I'm starting small, but I see a BIG addiction in my future!

15. Skype...being able to talk to my sister and my nephew face to face is priceless, and makes me feel like I've "met" him. I can't wait to go visit her in Australia (*side note* I'm humbly accepting airmiles donations :p)

16. That Myka has been sleeping much better lately.

17. That we took the time to clean and organize the girls' room this week. It's sooo much better now!

18. That we don't have snow yet

19. That the hunters came back this week. You don't know what I'm talking about, lol. There is a family of hunters that come from the coast every year and ask if they can hunt for deer on our land. In return, they give us freshly candied and smoked salmon that they caught. It is to die for...and our family's favorite time of year! :)

20. That Daniel has been able to work close to home. It's so nice to have him home every night :)
