thankful

I may not know everything,
but I do know that I love the journey
and education this life is bringing me.
Growing pains are always tough, but the perspective
is worth it.
We are gaining some more perspective as we prepare to move again,
and hopefully will end up in a happy home where we can stay till we bid Texas goodbye.
It is hard, and the search will be over soon,
but I am trying to breathe through this little bump in our road,
and smile.....or at least go take some pictures!

I know that I am getting little muscles, and that my workouts
are starting to pay off.
Mission: Do-One-Pull-Up-By-Christmas looks promising.
I know that if I ever try and rush a "manicure" at home,
in less than 5 minutes, I will have at least one nail that looks like this.
And just for the record, I am seeing if I can grow my nails out.
They are ALWAYS short, super short, because they rip and break,
But I am trying something new, so let's see how long it lasts!

The "masterpieces" made by my kids.
I know I can't live without these.
Never. Gets. Old.
And even the not-so-masterpiecey day to day drawings.
They are pretty awesome to find laying around.
She loves to leave them on her Daddy's pillow, or hidden in the covers on our bed.
I know how to eat...and eat well.
Fresh Peaches.
Yes, please.
And so pretty to have out on the counter.
What would we do without access to fresh fruits and veggies??
We are so blessed.
I know that I will miss this....
Watching him sleep.
Such a precious little man.


Finding joy in the small ways, happiness in the little things this week.
Happy Back-To-School week!
