Giving Thanks

for health and wellness (especially thankful to be finished with the 6 weeks of illness that recently ran through our family! LOL!)

for the summer sun which decided to emerge for a few days this week. Maybe that garden will grow after all.

for friends and family who have been such a wonderful support system to us over this last year.

for the 10 beautiful blessings that the Lord has given us the privilege of parenting

for a lovely day of visiting with friends. We enjoyed coffee and conversation while watching our 18 children play the day away on "the farm."

for the end of baseball season! We have LOVED watching Big Joe and Speedy Mo play their first season of "real" baseball. . . but we're also glad it is coming to an end.

for free swimming lessons for all of our children this summer. Thanks Carol!

for a REALLY awesome husband!

for a REALLY awesome husband who is also a GREAT daddy!
