Right Now

Sometimes things move so fast, I am not even really able to appreciate the little moments of sweetness and growth that happen around our home; here are a few things I am excited about and thankful for...right now....

*the most sunshiny warm spring
*the cruise that awaits our family-of-three in one more week
*Phoebe wearing underwear rather than diapers
*HEALTH!! {we had some nasty stomach bugs and colds the last few months}
*New Neighbors, a friend of ours from church is closing on a house 2 blocks from here!!
*more photo shoots with Whitney Porter...pictures to come soon
*bread rising in the kitchen
*dreaming about my birthday next week
*no plans for tonight, we are home with no guests! {i do love guests but it will be very nice to just be the three of us tonight}
*the planning of the garden that has been happening over the last week and will be put into place this weekend, at least the lettuces will be planted this weekend, HELLO arugula!
*a cup of hot tea on the table just waiting for me

I hope you all are finding yourself thankful today! Cheers.

and so Lent begins

You do not delight in sacrifice,
or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

Psalm 51: 16-17
