1000 gifts, Part 3

I cannot express how blessed I have felt the past week. Glimpses of sun and warm weather have boosted all our moods. Sam has began the journey of potty training, he is so happy and so proud of himself. With Easter passing Ryan is back to his consistent schedule and is home in the evening.

Here is the next section of my 1000 gifts...

What else I am up to today...

- Detail clean the kitchen, finally stop cleaning around the stuff that doesn't belong there and put it away.

- Go through Sam's clothes, goodbye high waters and 3/4 length sleeves.

- Pick up everything in the living room, again stop cleaning around the stuff that doesn't belong.

- Vacuum.

- Spend 15 minutes emptying the spare bedroom or soon to be babies room.
