my three boys will be great dads one day. not only will they know all the sneaky ways kids try to dupe their parents...ahem...but they'll also be great with their wee ones. really natural and comfortable with babies. they just add a really great dimension to little C's life.
we captioned the first one "hey, you want a piece of me?!"
fun to watch and neat to see that part of them shine.
"heaven's love reaching down to save the world....you're here with us"
maybe, just maybe, these lyrics strike a deeper chord than any Christmas past. maybe in all the chaos, the uncertainty, the sorrow, the despair, the anxiety of what the next year holds~ maybe this is just what your spirit needs. i will have this song streaming through our home this Christmas. i mentioned it here a few years back, but honestly it's even richer now. so good for the soul. thankful for the reminder.
as we enter the season of Christmas 2020, and all the ways it's already feeling so different and strange, hopefully both you and i can capture some of the pureness of it, maybe more than ever. the simplicity and wonder of The Gift, the joy in giving, the gratitude for all things~ large and small. maybe the slower pace will allow us to do that more intentionally. I sure hope so, because that would make some of the harder changes of Christmas easier to take...

just a few October pics today. because who doesn't love October, right? such a beautiful month of so many things to be thankful for. here are a few things i loved...
this boy and i like the "schnuggles"
such a privilege to love him. the blessings are easily tripled in return.
