Thankful for amazing kid behavior at conference! The toys were creatively used and so much was poured into my heart from our amazing guest speakers.

What a joy to have introduced our kids to a fave childhood preacher! The best memory was when he cracked an egg on a kids' head WAY back when at the Saugus Sunday School picnic- only to have money come out! Love his sense of humor too!

 Thankful for the longest morning work ever. #peaceandquietbeforethestorm ;)

 Thankful for our kids' school celebrating International Peace Day!

 Thankful that we had this smiley guy's IEP meeting this week. I most def love hearing from his specialists and I am BEYOND thankful for the village we have for him here in Palos, but it made me just break down as well. The mystery behind those baby blues and big smile is just... hard... and perplexing... and exhausting... we know God has big plans for him and for us as we try to understand how his incredibly complex brain ticks... he is up for a re-eval, which will provide a whole slew of assessments & we are thankful for those & are excited to learn more on how to make little buddies days the best they can be!

Thankful for soccer Saturdays.

 Here come da boyz. And my Dunks! 👍

 Hudson & Cooper!

 Mimi & Hannah

 Get it son!

 And you too!

 Mimi is such a good sport!

We needed a BDubs night/// And yes we hammered those wings.

Hannah modeling another Tessa skirt!! And my mom's new paint! The house was under construction this week and looks so updated and fresh! New hallway paint. New chandelier and new bathroom color! My pink bathroom dreams have come true ;)

Thankful for Sunday Funday time!

Thankful for Monday being PJ day for Hannah and a perfect weather day for bright chalk!

Thankful for yummy cookies baked with love for my class! Love ya Sher!

Heard this portion this morning, a little heavier this week during Revelation readings, but really exciting to know that the Lamb will conquer... and to hear all about Heaven .. Working hard to stay focused eternally! Last week was a blur of too much worldy stuff... here's to a new week
