He gives and gives and gives

  • nick's shenanigans while Caroline is trying to do school work 
  • double header playground morning with Molly and kiddos
  • talking about homeschooling highschoolers with emily
  • toasting the fact that Emma can do whatever she sets her mind to doing (we weren't really toasting that...but that's what the toast represents to me...we were actually toasting the fact that Emma successfully gave up coke for over a year)
  • Come and Behold by Maverick City/UPPERROOM
  • cool august mornings (what!?!)
  • yaya and grandaddy's love and care for little ones
  • God provided all the books Caroline needs for Challenge III (sharing is caring!)

  • for someone who often feels ordinary, these words were life giving:

  • ...it was just a matter of plugging it back in...
  • golden donut is open again!  
  • i had not one but 2 boxes brought to me :). donuts are my love language.

  • based on true stories/actual events movies
  • the moments when she is playing peacefully and contentedly all by herself
  • the way Victoria cares for and interacts with Zoe (and really for everyone that sets foot in her home/life)...she made sure Zoe had her own little cup of coffee and plenty of options for entertainment
  • spur of the moment trip to Tuesdays on Saturday with Caroline and Zoe!
  • sweet moments between Zoe and T-Train (fun fact - inside scoop - these 2 definitely took a slow tumble off of this bench just after this picture was taken...somehow neither was hurt...instagram rarely tells the full story :))
