Kelsey again. We had a wonderful Easter last weekend and, in the spirit of Spring, the rebirth/renewal/resurrection that is associated with this season, and wanted to be more mindful about all I have to be grateful for, I thought I'd make a gratitude list with pictures.
I'm grateful for a partner who will go to Easter service with me, even when he's not religious. He supports me in my own spiritual journey. And when Ava started crying in church (as soon as we got there-- it was her first time at church), he took care of her the entire service.
Visits from family! Lele visited this week and looking forwarded to more visits in the next month!
The laundry is neverending, but I am grateful to have a buddy who loves watching me do the laundry and playing with the clothes.
We have some glorious weather here during the Spring. I know summer is looming, but I'll enjoy this while I can.
Mike & I both had Good Friday off and we took the time to go out just the two of us while Ava was at daycare. We got to enjoy some local German food! (In addition to Mexican culture, there is a lot of German culture in the area as well.)
My walk to my car every day.
The bay view from one of my offices. You can't tell in this picture, but I could see a sailboat crossing the bay!
Although life is messy right now, I love coming home to "our" mess every day: amazon packages, Ava clothes, Mommy work clothes, breast pump (of course!), dishes, mail.
More gratitude:
- Endless gratitude for the instant pot that makes feeding ourselves so much easier. Ava is about to start solids in the next week and I'm actually considering making the baby food because the instant pot makes things so easy.
- Having two bathrooms makes it easier for us to use the bathrooms without waking Ava.
- I've loved going to barre class once-a-week even if it's about the only workout I get per week....the instructor sure makes it count!
