Weekend catchup! 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18 thankfuls!

14th thankful- I am so thankful for doctors (not only my sister and brother-in-law) but allergy doctors that have helped me over the years and infertility doctors who helped us become parents.  These people study study study and live on ramen noodles to put themselves through medical school.  I'm thankful they did!

15-I'm thankful for medicine.  I think of how many people and children died years ago because they didn't have the modern medicine we do today.  I'm thankful for my daily allergy medicine and the 200+ shots I took to carry the twins.

16-Fall in Nebraska!  My kids played in the leaves this weekend and I relived my childhood days of raking leaves up and diving in them with my neighbor.

17- TV.  I am thankful for the entertainment of TV, the babysitter of Dora, Doc and Jake.  Bedrest would have been pretty boring without TV!

18- My class recently visited Stuhr Museum and learned about live 200 years ago.  That trip always makes me thankful for our modern necessities....pluming, stoves, air conditioning.  Life is so much easier with these things.

A few pictures to go with each....

Modern machines to monitor the twins

What I love about this picture besides the screaming baby are the caring looks of those doctors and nurses.

Doctors and medicine....  Love how those machines are labels baby A and baby B.

As much as I LOVED to pump water at my Grandparent's farm and I so thankful I don't have to get my water that way each day.

Thankfully we no longer have to cut wood to heat a stove and our kitchens or use the ashes to make soap.  I'm sure I will want to send my kids to live here for a week and find out how hard their lives could be when they are sassy teens!

Fall!  I still love playing in the leaves!
