You know something\’s wrong if he\’s not cheering / chattering

 – Our children\’s self-inflicted consequences. Hate these, because I don’t like seeing them miss out. But grateful that perhaps missing out now will be a springboard for better choices ahead.

– Her make-shift desk

– Mud Run – taking the time on a Sat morn, even with the boys\’ two baseball tournaments in neighboring cities… so fun!!




 

– Stephanie\’s prayer service, lovely.  Ps 121.

– Bran’s comment afterward – “We should always feel like this.” A young heart burdened heavy.

– That when I click on Steph’s “meals” website, her community of friends has already filled all of June’s dates. What sweet, generous friends surround their family.

– Our costume closet… and finding her like this

– Praying with Bran – his asking for the strength to forgive someone. These moments are when I’m so grateful to be his mom, to get to see this heart.

– A visit from our New Mexico cousins – a treat!
