{A Week of Gratitude (in pictures)}:the chance to visually reflect on my daily blessings; an opportunity to let the good in my life soak deep in my memory; a moment to appreciate the happiness that surrounds me; a chance to acknowledge how incredibly beautiful this life really is

Sunday: Easter Sunday.  Alleluia!  He is risen!

Monday: Holy moly!  She wore something besides pink!

Tuesday:  A family of book lovers.

Wednesday:  Seeing the boys’ desk.  Really.  I could actually see it once all the Legos and papers and other um, junk, was finally cleared off.  Beautiful.  Oh and look at that…now they can actually use the desk as a, well, desk.  Amazing.

Thursday: A great conversation with these amazing women about a beautiful book, Hannah Coulter.  I can see why so many people have fallen in love with Wendell Berry’s writing.

Friday: The hysterical laughter that followed the April Fool’s joke Dax played on the kids (a drop of food coloring in their toothpaste…seriously, you should have seen their faces when they all looked at one another and realized they were each foaming blue…HYsterical!)

Saturday:  The Goliad reenactments.
