10 things I am thankful for

I am late with my list this week but I have been busy having a lot of fun, so here it is:

1. My friends: I went out with some good friends of mine on Saturday and I had a blast! I am lucky to be part of this amazing group of girls. We ate, drank, laughed and cried. We had a great time!
2. Drinks with chocolate in them: I had a vanilla vodka with Godiva white chocolate! Whoever invented this is a genius!
   
   
   
3. Desserts: What would we do without desserts? (besides losing weight)? We had great food at this place but the desserts were to die for!
   
4. My mother in law's back yard: It is huge, the grass is very green, a lot of flowers and a very nice garden. Sophia and I spent the day there today and it was perfect, she was playing in her little pool and I was relaxing having a cold drink enjoying the nice view.
   
5. My blog visitors: It's very encouraging to know that a lot of people are stopping by and getting to know my sweet girl.
6. Sophia's interactions with others: She is getting better and better every day. Sometimes she grabs my husbands's face or my face with her tiny hands and looks at us smiling and letting us know that she loves us. She had a moment like this with her grandmother today and I know it made my mother in law's day.
7. Sophia's relationship with Lauren: Sophia's former 1-on-1 and now friend came to visit this week, and even though Sophia was a little confused in the beginning, she melted Lauren's heart by crawling to her and sitting on her lap and putting her head on Lauren's chest. I can tell this friendship is going to last.
   
8. Central AC conditioning: A couple of weeks ago the AC broke down and we had a rough night with Sophia, luckily we got it fixed because the forecast for next week is going to be hot and uncomfortable.
9. Access to good doctors: We looked for a second opinion about Sophia's hip surgery and we are fortunate to have different options, I know that some families are not that lucky.
10. The fact I don't look my age: I've got to be honest here, I don't take good care of myself, I try to wash my face every night but that's about it and yet nobody guesses my age right, and they don't miss it by a year or two, sometimes even 6 to 8 years younger than I really am!!!! I should not take that for granted!
