How is it the last Monday of April??

Although we are excited about our summer plans, the realization that we have just a month left here is pretty crazy!

Thankful for online sermons that lift us up.

Thankful for encouraging, quick reads, that lift us up too!

Thankful for meds to help heal our sick boy.

Thankful for a comfy couch where sick boy and this sleepyhead momma crashed too many nights, as an effort to keep the coughs down. I had childhood asthma, and remember sitting straight up many nights in hopes of getting some zzzs from the nagging coughs. So we try it for Hudson. Thankfully he sleeps like a log straight up, but still coughs. Alot.



Thankful that we will be together with both sets of grandparents in WA this summer! Best news ever.

Thankful for a random invitation that was placed by our mailbox, for a Prayer time across the street. It was a totally new to me experience, but it was beautiful being with our community asking God to change the hearts of addicts, help the policy makers, provide for the homeless, give educators grace etc. It was so different and so good!

 This was Day 1. 

 This was day 2. Happy as can be to hold his "smoke".  Thankful that our Doc was so kind and showed him the Non Masked Way of inhaling the "smoke". That mask- even though its a cute fish, was NOT going on his face. #ohHudson

 

This girl. Savage. Cereal in a way too big bowl. With a fork. #ohHannah

 Saturday Drives..... had us on the North Shore ... and saw our 1st beached Turtle.

 And our 1st Man o War - good thing Harrison rescued me, because I was most def bare foot beach walking!

 This is our reality 99% of the time. Trying to look cute, but then Hudson runs into our cuteness and then we yell at our kids. Real time hebert life :) Classic.

  We wanted to get some good views, and I thought my insanely afraid of heights self could be okay in the car on the heights... but guys, these roads... are like so close to the edge?! I am not a close to the edge type of gal! So I did a lot of mental singing of "You Make Me Brave" and "Fear is a liar".

 Shrimp Truck!
We were warned in line :this is good food not fast food: if there is a line be prepared to wait an hour" yet we were in disbelief that shrimp could ever take THAT Long. It did. And the plate was way too small for the price. But we were glad to have tasted food from an authentic one of the best trucks.

 Our totally fake smiles.

West Side Prayer Rally

 That face. Those eyes. And those eyelashes.

 Getting along with difficult people, 30 seconds at a time.... I can try that... Thank you Bob!

Thankful that I just got a call.... with news that I can be in Room 108, at Wadsworth in September!!!! It will be a true culture shock to leave the fully funded status of these beautiful rooms.. the non life threatening behaviors peaceful totally teachable climate of B2... the gorgeous staff bathrooms ( guys, one is bubble gum pink with black and gold accents, cmon! Too cute for words!) .. the  Aloha from ALL the staff .... but we know we were called to the Southside and this... is just another Heaven Hug.... God has His way... and will bring strength to our weaknesses!
