Thankful in the Cold

Steve's class went on a field trip today to Austin at 6:30AM, so I was back on single mom duty. As I drove Nathan to school in our nice warm car; passing all of the icy cars and ice covered roofs, I had to take a moment to be very thankful.
1.) I am thankful for our house, (yeah, yeah, yeah pictures will come). When I was small we lived in a house where it got so cold that our hamster froze to its water bottle. I am so thankful that our kids are blessed with so much more.
2.) I am thankful for our garage with an automatic garage door opener. We unpacked and got rid of enough stuff so that our garage is actually a garage and not a storage room. No more scraping ice off of our car windshield with a CD case......
3.) I am thankful that I get to bring Nathan to school for the first time since our move. I've missed our special time together.
4.) I am thankful that Nathan's teacher is back. Her son got into a car wreck last weekend and she has spent the week in the hospital with him.
5) I am thankful that Nathan's teachers love him and Kalea.
