Day 9 - Today I'm thankful for this little boy:
Scottie - my oldest - is such a joyful little bug. We decided to get pregnant just four months after we were married. Brandon was working long hours, and I was often alone in our apartment from 1:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 or so at night. We didn't know anybody, really, and were very poor newlyweds, and there's only so many times a one-bedroom apartment can be vacuumed, dusted, and shined. We prayed and went to the temple, and Heavenly Father confirmed that it was right.

We prayed and went to the temple, and Heavenly Father confirmed that it was right.
So, we had a Scottie bug. And then 14 months later, we had a B. And then 14 months later, he stuck two keys into an electrical outlet and burned his hand really bad. We're very blessed that we didn't lose him that day. If the electrical current had just gone through one key, the electricity would have traveled up his arm and into his heart and very likely killed him. From the day of his accident he's had numerous surgeries. But, he loves it! He loves going in to have surgery and waking up with pink coban wrapped around his hand. Not sure why he loves it, but the two times we've canceled surgery, he's been sorely disappointed.
During the summer, he can always be found in a tree. Or climbing a tree. He has such unusual expressions sometimes (like, "Oh that is just a wonderful sight" or "I've a new classmate, instead of I have a new classmate). He has a cute smile, and an infectious laugh. He can be silly (which is a good thing since his mom can be silly, too), serious, insightful, and a good friend.
He loves to read, and has currently read the Harry Potter series several times. We've had to threaten to take his books away before because he'll stay up reading until late (sometimes even until 11:30 at night).
So, today is for my Scottie Bug. Aka Scibbs. Aka Skeeters. Aka Skeeter Pibbus. Aka Peter Scibbus! Love you, little P. Scibbus!

He's so cute! Er...handsome...I suppose he's getting to be the age where "cute" isn't good anymore, huh? He's so grown up! What a cool kid you've raised--you're a good mama, Renee. :) Love you!
One handsome boy :) I like the multi- colored hair pic.
