1) I'm thankful that I took the time to take my three youngest kids on a date last night. We saw a movie, ate popcorn, got milkshakes to take home, and in general had a very fun time. My nearly three year old son kept saying "That was a good date, daddy."
2) I'm thankful for access to the internet and the good information and opportunities to learn that I am able to take advantage of.
3) I'm thankful for loving, wonderful parents who raised me well.

1) I'm thankful to have spent an enjoyable evening with family celebrating my the birthday of my oldest son yesterday.
2) I'm thankful that my wife and I have been able to pay off significant amounts of debt recently to help us get out from under that weight and be better prepared to face the future, whatever it may hold.
3) I'm thankful to have gainful employment at this time when so many people struggle to have the same.

1) I'm thankful for being done with the estate sale for my father-in-law's belongings. It is bittersweet to be closing out these kinds of things, but that is much better than having the weight of them hanging over us.
2) I'm thankful that my oldest son is having his birthday today, and that immediate and extended family will be able to celebrate it with him at his program.
3) I'm thankful that God allows me to repent and try again each time I fail. I try not to fail, but it's a part of life than can help me become better if I will learn from it.

1) I'm thankful for the chance to spend a good weekend with my oldest son and see how wonderfully he is doing to this point in being able to control his impulses. We were very worried about how his two week camp would go, but it went very well. Now we'll see if he is able to follow through after camp as well.
2) I'm thankful that, after having a long break before seeing my oldest last weekend, we will get to see him 3 times in the next 9 days, and that the other kids will get to see him on one of those days. Both he and they were disappointed that they didn't get to go see him this past weekend, but only parents were invited.
3) I'm thankful for a job with the flexibility that I have been able to take off as much time as I have needed to recently, but that also allows me to bank time for that when I work more than the normal amount of hours in a day.
