the little things

It's been a few months since my last entry. Life has been crazy.
My oldest started kindergarten in September. How can that be? I can't believe that I can be old enough to have a school age child. She is doing really well though, and can't wait to go to school everyday.
My little one started preschool about mid-September. Wish I could say that she is loving it. She is having a hard time but we will keep trying. Breaks my heart, as I totally didn't expect her to have attachment issues.
My FIL still continues to battle stage 4 transitional cell carcinoma. It is hard to live so far away from family.  My in-laws hadn't seen the kids since May, so they were able to come up for a week. We had a great visit, but my FIL was having a hard time by the end as he was due for another treatment back in Fl. It has really made me re-evaluate life. When you sit and think about all of the things that bother you from day to day, you realize the brevity of life. What really matters? So much of the things we worry about are so superficial. Enjoy each moment, as you never know when it may be your last. Today I am most thankful for my family, my health, and for the little things (like this beautiful weather).
