Uncharacteristically, I wasn't "feeling" taking pictures this week. In fact, one day I took none {gasp!}. Still, I'm soaking up these days of having the kids around, being kids. Life is sweet.

Aiden thinks Renna is SO cute and is so gentle and sweet with her.
Girls night out on a lovely evening. Thankful for friends who know my heart and a husband who can hold down the fort.
One never knows how Aiden will wake up. Often, he seeks me out to snuggle for a few minutes (more often after naps), other times he is full of swirling ideas that are just waiting to be implemented, such as a new lego design. And then there is no time for "good mornings". :)
Its a post for another time, but my views on and approach to the bio families have radically changed since we began this adventure.
It was emotional to be face to face with this woman in her business suit and heels, each of us with our three small children hanging off of and around us and just one thing setting me apart from her...God's grace, His unmerited favor. My prayer each day is that she would meet the great Rescuer.
These girls made cookies almost on their own. They were also part of the cleanup crew. :)
Shaun took Avery and Amanda to see Hillsong in Boston. So sweetly, he was planning on it being a surprise and was including E and me. Alas, she had a visit that evening so it didn't work out. Points for the thought though!

Just crazy...middle of August, sitting around a campfire, I was dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt. Holding out hope for as mild of a winter as the summer we've had.
Makeovers By Maddy....
Whoa! Is that Amanda or some teenager? :)
ReplyDeleteI saw a little girl at the zoo on Saturday that reminded me of Renna. I would have gone up & asked, but she was a little younger - ha!
