Thankful for I & J

I: Internet. It is so nice to be able to get driving directions, send mail and get a response quickly instead of waiting for the post office, and get information online instantly rather than having to go to the library and spend hours looking through books.

J: Jayden. Jayden has helped us to stop and notice the little things we are too busy to stop and look at. He finds joy in almost everything he does, even if it is his chores. He loves to read, play with action figures, ride his bike, jump on the trampoline, go on roller coasters, swim, listen and dance to music, and play video games. When we went to Disneyland in September we went on the It's a small world ride. He was leaning over the side of the boat with his arm hanging down. I told him to keep his arm in the boat so his fingers don't get pinched. He said, "Hold on mom, okay, now I'm done." "Done with what," I asked. He said that he had to make his wish when he dropped his money in the water. I asked what he wished for and he said, "I wish I was a robot." We love you Jayden!

Amen to being thankful for the internet. It has allowed me to become much lazier! :) Although, it's also a curse too because I find myself sitting in front of the computer for way too long. I love that Jayden wants to be a robot. He's too cute!

I could not agree with you more!!! I love the internet, how else would I keep in touch with everyone...oh yeah the phone, but this is way more fun! I too would like to be a robot some days, (some days I think that I act like one) Robots don't need sleep, and they don't get fat, sounding better and better all the time!
