Don't fall asleep

“Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.” ~Robert Louis Stevenson


I'm so thankful that even when kids are sick, they still want to have fun and hold to traditions.

Our thoughts on this Friday's prep procedure instructions. Thankful for humor!

Thankful we have enough provisions to keep this guy going! He never wants to put food down. He's always ready to eat!

Thankful that we can all still ride together when we are under the weather.

Thankful for pumpkin turkeys!

Thankful for big turkeys...

And little ones too!

Thankful for mommy's cooking helpers, and reinforced knees!

Thankful this boy wants to cook and eat knowing he once ate through a tube!

Thankful they love to watch

Thankful we can get four kids to say "cheese!"

Thankful laughter is our best medicine!

Thankful for rocks in water!

Thankful Silas is always excited about what we are doing!


Thankful that joy is contagious!

Thankful for Papa's help!

Thankful we got to take our "rock" gems home!

Thankful we aren't underground miners!

Thankful no one had a meltdown while under the ground for half an hour!

Thankful for Papa's visit and beautiful weather while he was here!

Thankful this little guy is so strong and can breathe while running.

Thankful he's so determined to be part of the brother's bond!

Thankful this guy is eating better this week!

Thankful he's still growing despite all the non-eating days. Thankful he wants to be a daddy when he grows up, and thankful for all the prayers for some answers after Friday's procedures!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land.
