Today for Friday Favorites
I'm going to share with you different words
describing some of my fave moments from the week.
Enjoy!!
Humbled.
Watching Samuel put ornaments on the tree
knowing that last year he just rested on the couch.
As I pulled out my unsorted ornaments I remembered
that they were quickly shoved away because he was so sick.
Now, this year, he was simply joyful as he peeked at each ornament.

Yummy.
Is a perfect word to describe
the seasoned nuts that Chloe and Hannah have been making.

I probably should include the word calories
but they're nuts, and that's healthy, right?
Laughter.
I got this wonderful candle for my home
and my fabulous {and very funny} husband
decided to rename it and wait for me to discover it.
I know we'll laugh about this for years to come.
Scented.
Balsam fills my home.
From the tree to that
wonderful {and now funny named} candle.
Patience.
I've found myself short-tempered this week
Partially due to my slower moving arm
{and while I type this very sore arm}
{and while I type this very sore arm}
but also because I lose my focus on the real important.
So, yes I have, I've been praying for patience.
Grateful.

I am grateful to bring awareness.

We've been so blessed by our
The ornaments the kids have made are so cute
and more than that they're learning truth.

Quiet.
My early morning drives to physical therapy
has me winding through the countryside
watching the sun come over the horizon.
I love these moments of peace.
I stopped on that back road so I could snap this pic to share.

Surprised.
Last night I made cookies
and my Caleb walked in and stated
hmm...much obliged if I had a cookie?
Oh, my, I love that boy of mine!
What six year old says much obliged?
He brings me joy.

Hi There, this is my first time here and linking up....I love it and your post...I Have started following...Pinkim from TrulySimplyPink
I was wondering when the new button for the season would make its debut! I love it! Hannah did an amazing job, as always.
I love your picture of the pond. And I love that Caleb said "much obliged." It reminds me of the vocabularies my friend Tiffany's twin brothers have who are about the same age.
I know I say this all of the time but I really enjoy how you capture the moments. You bring them to life and I can just see the excitement on Samuel's face this year. Those nuts look so yummy and totally healthy :)
