Beautiful Day in the Garden.

Today Hallie, Jonah and I worked in the yard on a beautiful Portland Spring Preview day. I shoveled dirt, planted ground cover, tilled the soil, added compost, sowed lettuce, onion, kale, cilantro, spinach, sweat peas, and nasturium ate a cookie (sorry Jonah for the crumbs in your hair) and drank a milkshake (Hallie is breastfeeding and needs the extra calories. I don't want her to feel lonely drinking milkshakes by herself) all with Jonah strapped into the Baby Bjorn.

I wish every day could be as wonderful as today was.

Want some Cheese With That Ice Cream?

I love this little boy so much.

Anyway, the title of this post is because of what little Jonah has brought to our world in less than a week of life outside the womb. For me, religion went hand in hand with giving thanks. I don't practice the religion of my youth but haven't forgot that "giving thanks" was a part of life either. However, seeing Jonah breath, flail, cry, poo, eat and generally struggle to understand this new world has made all of the things I am and have been thankful for over my life flood into my thoughts. So, in a way my little Jonah, and each life, new and old, has the ability to make someone t...
