these are the last few entries from my “giving thanks” journal (or whatever you want to call the book where I write down the HUGE and tiny gifts that God shares with me):
- Emma’s camera smile (that’s not really a smile at all but oh so cute)
- A dad who doesn’t have to be begged to take his son to get a haircut – he takes him without even being asked (and, honestly, before I even noticed that our son needed a haircut!)
- Fun colored pens
- The white’s tire swing!!!!
- The joy and happiness that Caitlin Carr brings into our home!
- The book “Kisses from Katie” (quotes will certainly follow sometime soon)
- There’s always more to give away
- Nicole’s sewing abilities…helped keep me a little less exposed!
- Accents (as in voices…not as in marks)
- (loud) Late night worship and cleaning
- 100 laughs is the equivalent of running 10 miles for your heart
- Carey Bray.
- Hannah dew’s cookies. As delicious (dewlicious!) as ever.
- Sweet little impromptu picnics in the park (and the gap of sunshine that allowed for a picnic!)
- Trying to remember to laugh more (there really is so much to laugh at/about)
- Getting things done that have to get done.
- Apples with peanut butter
- Conversation with Addie on Monday
- Free wi-fi at Chick Fil A
Me – “caroline, close the car door after you get out.”
Her – “mama. The MAN is supposed to close the door for the WO-MAN” (this was said rather emphatically….one could even use the word “sassy”...with her hands on her hips and her head shaking and everything)
Favorite eli quote this week:
“there are some of those crying willow trees, mama."
