A quick list of some things I've been thankful for in the last few weeks:

- a birthday
- a big family dinner
- hard frosts
- frozen ponds
- handknit hats and mittens
- tomatoes ripening
- a little sweater nearing completion
- watching Maisie try to crawl (not quite there yet)
- the look of triumph when she finally manages to grab the cat toy she's been after
- produce from the garden
- a little basket of toys and some sewing time
- tiny toes and a Jolly Jumper
- watching Maisie enjoy new foods
- her expression as she tries to get sticky rice off her fingers
- hot tea
- Abby with a new stuffy (or two)
