so much.

  • rebecca's teaching ability (though heart and soul gets so terribly stuck in my head)
  • sisters playing sweet music together (and laughing in the pool and making up dance routines and strengthening the foundations of their sistership day after day)


  • hearing about CCC missionaries through SGN (and those cut off jean shorts were something else)
  • hearing/seeing the word fika twice in less than 24 hours (and remembering our swedish friends that first introduced us!)


  • cinnamon roll bread!!
  • mother daughter velocity zoom call.  goodness, i love caroline. 
  • another saturday morning sleep in (wowzahs.  so nice.)
  • the delight the bowl of ice (and accessories) brings to zoe
  • a good run on mountain brook
  • so much creativity and loveliness happening at the table
  • being honored on mother's day (gifts, cards, help, texts...so many wonderful things)
  • precious reminder of our access to the King
  • celebrating 18 years of marriage with a delightful bike ride and the perfect sunset carrabba's picnic (and beautiful flowers and a fabulous gift - with thoughtful presentation to boot)(my husband is quite incredible)
  • the gift of color wonder paper and paints for zoe
  • "Who knew an ordinary tuesday night could be so much fun?" - papa
  • Papa's willingness to plant zinnias
  • getting biscuits with my dad
  • having two of my favorite people on the planet working from home
  • "don't let digital fatigue rob you from the things that matter..." (mainly Jesus...and connecting with others...community) - phil/the square
  • my total domination in jackbox (kidding...but i am thankful for the time spent with family and friends playing jackbox!)
