{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: A tree to climb, a place to explore

Monday:  Finishing our school work early so I could finish my book club book (and a beautiful day to do it!)

Tuesday:  The arrival of the much anticipated Thirty-One bags.  Loving this new purse.

Wednesday:  A beautiful day, a walk to the grocery store and a quick produce scavenger hunt.  A spontaneous plus to homeschooling.

Thursday:  I honestly have no idea what they are doing, but the fact that for once they are all laughing together makes my heart sing songs of joy.

Friday:  A playdate with dear friends and watching the expression on Joe’s face as he grabbed that hose!

Saturday:  Watching Andrew as he invents.  First he nailed the two pieces together, then he tied a rope around them.  Total joy as he ran around the yard dragging his “airplane” behind him.
