This is that "random" post - pictures that don't really go together but are too cute or special to not share or record! This blog acts as our family scrape book - besides being a place to share general thoughts on our lives. These pictures are those moments that don't necessarily mean much - but they mean everything.
Everything because they represent lives being built and healed and transformed - from the hurts our kids experiences to some moments of just being "kids". To being able to be just a little bit "normal" (whatever that is!!)
My sweet girl who thinks 7 is FAR too old for a nap - but it's not really!
We tried many contraptions to be able to circumvent the "no swimming" rule imposed by our doctor - none worked well - but for a few moments occasionally some fun was had!
Not sure who was more tired….
Our sweet babysitter Ali - just days before they welcomed their new blessing into the world.
Queen Ester for "Super Hero Day" at VBS. Yes - I think Queen Ester is a far better super hero than any of the marvel characters!
Night out with friends who came up to see us from San Diego. We love Brenda and Jerry - and we love that they love us enough to know that right now - to get to have time together, they come up to us. Sometimes the greatest gifts of friendships are knowing what your friends need and making those sacrifices for them.
Neighborhood girls night out! We have the very, very best neighborhood. While I can get yard envy or house envy, the blessings of our neighbors who have become friends far out weigh any benefits more space could bring.
Blessings wrapped in the every day moments. The moments that we can take for granted or assume will be there tomorrow - that maybe won't be. Two summers ago, very little of the above would have been possible - especially the time out. That is progress and healing and security and GOD!
