Thankful Thursday

Yep, it's that time of week again.  I seriously can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by.  I feel like I just wrote my last Thankful Thursday.

1.  Free health care through Microsoft.   Gwen hadn't been feeling well and developed a terrible cough, so I figured "it's free, I'll take her in.".  She has a common cold and I have learned that she can now take Benedryl.  As an added bonus, the pediatrician looked at her belly button and it has healed!!  I now don't have to take her to the pediatric surgeon!!!  Good day thanks in part to free health care.

2.  My free trip to Athens.  I am going to work out of the Brussels office for 2 weeks so that my company will pay for my entire trip to Athens to see Colleen.  I am so thankful that they are doing this for me.  It will be a long/crazy 2 weeks, but a fabulous experience.  I also get to see my BFF who I haven't seen in 5 years!!  I am so excited.

3.  A weekend with no plans and nowhere to be.

4.  Gwen being able to wipe/blow her own nose.  Today she had the sneeze of all sneezes in the backseat.  There was snot everywhere.  I didn't know what to do so I handed her a few tissues.  She cleaned herself right up.  That could have been disastrous.

5.  Gwen already starting to pick up/clean up after herself.  She takes rags and wipes down the floor, the counters, the table.  She picks up her own toys and brings me her dirty dishes when she is done.  She also loves to throw things in the garbage.  You just have to watch out because sometimes she comes back with random stuff from the garbage.
