Blessed...

There is no other word I could use to better describe my life. Over the past few days I came across a blog of a family in PA who had a daughter just a few months older than Avery who lost there daughter last week to rare from of leukemia... The mother a brave, strong Christian woman chronicled their journey through the disease.... a family who I have never met I have come to mourn with over the last few days. My prayers go out to this family and to all families everywhere who have loved ones young and old suffering from any awful disease. I go home at night and hug my boys and husband just a bit tighter thanking God for our health!

Last night Avery and I ran to BJ's to get gas for the grill, and to get meat for our BIG BBQ we are having on Saturday. As Avery is getting older I have such a wonderful time taking him out on errands with me etc. He helps me put things into the cart, tells me all the things he wants. We laugh, we sing, we just make a good time of it. I know there will be one day where he will be too busy for me... where he won't want to go to the store... so I cherish those moments as I get them.
Adam went with Caleb to go help our friend Noah move to the place he just bought so I had the boys to myself (I love those times). After Avery went to bed, AJ and I just played... he has the most contagious smile He swung, we sat in his bumbo seat... he even allowed me to give him some tummy time and didn't complain (well at least not right away.)






One of my aunts is going through a rough time and she asked me to make her a poster with a saying on it, which I was more than happy to do for her. But as I sit and read and reread the words I know that they things I need to put into practice more in my life also so I thought I would share with others.












Please put these people in your prayers: My Aunt Bev as she battles cancer, My Aunt Evelyn pray that she has strength through rough times, and my brother Steve and his family as they are getting ready to move that they have safe travels and settle in nicely.
