thankful

There were some really hard things this week. But there were some really good things, so I determined to list those off today, and wound up looking back very Thankful.

precious little moments with my dad

 

warm enough weather for neighborhood walks and hikes

kids finally healthy enough to goof around

a family that loves prayer

precious Thanksgiving reflections

Dad and Ben's special relationship 

(this picture is Ben answering his thanksgiving question: "What would you name your pet turkey?" with "Grandpa!")

baby naps

Emma and her first Thanksgiving

A day that allowed for a short walk in the sunshine with dad

little conversations

Emily and Nora's special relationship

good food and good help

getting these two precious babies finally together...my baby and Haylie's baby...never thought that would be happening together :) 

finally meeting baby Jack-Jack 

Thanksgiving Haiti traditions...like "Great is His Faithfulness", fun and good questions, prayer together

a whole gaggle of people I love

game nights and lots of laughter

precious kiddos I cherish

laughter in a hard time

a slower day

craft time with Yaya

being able to sit outside 

a good long talk in the sun

friends we've had "forever" and enjoy being with so much

baby smiles all throughout

chances to love one another well and to be together, thank you, Lord
