'tis the season for gifts. always.

  • sweet time in the kump home...especially when Zoe and Annie got to laughing
  • God's got plans that I may not understand...and that's better than ok. 
  • this reminder: 
  • naps and a long night of rest to kick this cold to the curb
  • fun book finds (in this case "snugglepot and cuddlepie" for a treasured friend)
  • incredible night of inspiration and worship (and tasty treats and coffee)
  • a gentleman's agreement/handshake and the truck is sold!
  • Emma's attention...she seems to notice when i get overwhelmed or need some encouragement....
  • houseful of middle schoolers (all are not pictured here) to celebrate Emma ("homemade launch" included)
  • the part we've been waiting on for Eli's car is supposedly on its way! 
  • the way the horses' hay smells right now...it's different - and sweet! 
  • delightful and beautiful Christmas tea hosted by yaya and mama suzanne (thrift store shabby chic was the dress code)
  • how meghan knows her neighbors' names
  • beautiful afternoon for a walk around 1st Avenue
  • sipping cherry coke out of our tea cups 
  • pizza with the klause family 
  • pretty smooth room swap
  • perfect Monday lunchtime picnic on the corner of peacock and wynnton road

  •  Zoe's enjoyment of yaya and grandaddy's on Wednesday nights...makes date nights all the sweeter
  • how the cottage stays booked...even when there are cancellations, it gets rebooked....
  • the continued and extreme generosity of the Village Foster Care and Adoption Ministry
