Thankful Thursday

Louanne on Oct 25th 2007

I missed last week because we were on vacation. But the first thing I want to do is offer a shout out to the girls at Rayne Soft Water in Ventura, California :)

  • I am thankful that we were safe during all our travels. 4 flights and driving around California and Colorado.
  • For Nadia getting the chance to see/meet so many family and friends. The list is very long, but she got to see Nonni again and meet Papa, Great Grandma and Grandpa Petlow….plus many, many more people.
  • For the fun time that Nadia had with her Aunt Michelle (who was positively dying to meet Nadia!!!). They hit it off at the pumpkin patch – great idea lil’ sis.
  • For Nadia getting to see the west coast beach on a sunny day.
  • For getting to take Nadia out in the snow for the first time in Denver.
  • For this occurring in the span of 3 days :)
  • For all the clothes and purple jacket that the Peterman’s passed down to us.
  • For the delicious muffins and cupcakes Jess and I made. It’s all about the food!
  • For the Pumpkin Pie Body wash from the Petermans…..it ROCKS!!
  • For getting to see the “Garden of the Gods” and the “Cave of the Winds” in Colorado Springs.
  • For the furry Crocs from my mom.
  • For the college fund that Grandpa Greg and Grandma Brooke set up for Nadia this week.
  • For all the great photos we got on the trip……which will follow in the next post I make.

    Ohhhh the pumpkin patch! It was awesome…minus the maze that we just could not figure out. Just in case anyone reading this is ever in a labyrinth with Louanne, do NOT let her lead…..she has an awful sense of direction…that I think I somehow inherited. Ugh. Thankfully we made it out in one piece.

    Lou, just so you know, my pumpkin is enjoying Santa Clara and his new view. He appreciates the purchase! :) But, I miss my little pumpkin! Can’t wait to see her in December! What a christmas treat that’ll be!

    Can’t wait to see the photos you put up…..I know this beautiful face (i.e. me) will be gracing the page quite a bit.

    PS EVERYONE thinks she’s adorable!! Well, it’s because she is but really, non-stop comments keep coming in about her. She is truly a blessing and she truly lives up to the sweetness status you’ve told me all about:)

    LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! MWAH!!!

    Whew! That is a couple of Thankful Thursdays rolled into one! We all had the BEST time seeing the 3 of you. Thank you so much for coming out to see us-we miss you madly now and cannot wait to see you again!

    I am glad that after 2 days-yes 48 hrs, Nadia finally let me hold her! Thanks to Grandma Petlow for letting me in on a “Grandma secret”. She said just get a stuffed animal toy and hold it close to you and she will grab for it, then you can scoop her up! Well, it worked!What a sweetpea!
    I’ll have to keep asking about those secrets!

    Papa couldn’t get over how precious & inquisitive she is. Michael was also amazed! Of course you know how Michelle felt (read above)!

    Glad you made it home safe & sound, snuggle up with each other and keep each other safe-hope the Crocs keep your feet warm.

    Love & miss you so much already!!!

    Love ,

    Mom ( aka Nonni) xxxxxoooooo
