My annual Thanksgiving list is completed below. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

This year, I am thankful for:

The noises a newborn makes
Neighbors who bring you food
A community-built park around the corner from us
My awesome midwife, and an amazing home birth experience with Bea
Second chances
Maternity leave
Fresh flowers
Our cozy house on a blustery day
Flickr
Smart phones
Nostalgia
Chocolate chip cookies
Our beautiful garden, despite the amount of work it takes to maintain
Things that are sturdy and reliable
A girl who loves to snuggle
Simplicity

Album of the Year: Bon Iver, “For Emma, Forever Ago”
Books of the Year: “The Danish Girl” by David Ebershoff, “A Map of the World” by Randa Jarrar
Movie of the year – I think they’ve been pretty bad this year, but I also haven’t seen many

Bathing in light
A selection of photos from week one – lots of B and B&L, with some parents thrown in for fun.
