Category: Thankful

This day I get to gush about our bomb diggity parentals. They get extra points as they have seen the worst and still they love me. Chad and I are both only children…and while we always wished for a sibling to share life with, God gave us so much more in rich relationships with our parents.  They are both the most loving, generous, sacrificial, and encouraging people you could have ever asked for. We love spending time with our mamma’s and papa’s. These kids don’t have any idea how good they have it with God’s gift of grandparents. PATIENCE abounds, they don’t flip out when the squirts break a glass, or pour grape juice on their top dollar white carpet, they are always game to change a diaper, or give crankball, (me), a nap. What would we do without our Nonni/ Poppi, Nanny/ Papa? In the words of Randolph-“don’t even try honey dear.”  I am so deeply grateful for the cherished bonds we share.

I am thankful for where we live and the the life God has given us. His grace has covered us beyond measure. This picture was taken outside my home, ya-right, I mean someone else’s shabby little villa, last January. That is in, it’s the middle of winter, there should be frost, let’s go make snow angels, January. We live in a pretty wonderful part of the country, and manage to feel safe and are completely blessed to be able to call this county home. Thank you Lord for allowing us to dwell in this spot and not somewhere where there are big bugs or wierd animals/ people loitering in our personal space.
