I am thankful for dh's parents. When they are in town, mil will sit with the kids in a pinch (today being one of those 'crap! we both have to work, and the kids are off school!'), and buys them stuff to boot. :) While shopping yesterday, she came across winter coats on clearance, and picked up next years sizes for both kids. What a tremendous blessing! Mind you, she doesn't spoil them, thank goodness. She's not the type of grandma to buy anything and everything the kids desire, and we appreciate that.
It is a bummer we don't see both grandma and grandpa more often due to scheduling and the sheer amount of time they spend traveling, but, they are starting to stop by more often. I love watching the kids grow up with family nearby, I didn't have that as a kid. Grandpa came by the other night, ate pizza and ice cream, then headed home. We loved it!
Dh's brother gave us tickets today to the Globe Trotters tomorrow night! It's a double whammy of in-law gratitude today. He runs a local business and was given the tickets as a promo, and wanted to pass them along to us because he knew the kids would enjoy the show.
We are truely blessed to have such a giving family.
