if you rearranged and moved around furniture all day, and then repeated the process all over again! imagine doing it all before turning one? sweet baby C is soooo beyond toys. like who has time for those?! there're so...six months ago...there's important work to be done!! :)
way to go buddy...making the best out of a frustrating situation!!
by the way, you're so handsome!
Yonas messaged me the other day. what an amazing gift it is to connect every so often with this dear young man. short recap~ we met Yonas when he was about ten or twelve, in Addis Ababa, while we were there picking up Alemayehu. meeting him there and seeing him over the course of the week, and getting to know a little about his story~ well, it impacted Jeff and I deeply. if you wish to read more about him i would be happy to dig up all the places i've blogged about him and his progress.
anyway.....fast forward a decade, and imagine my great joy to stare at this amazing picture of him. he is good, other than kind of being stuck in limbo like the rest of us with this pandemic, but otherwise he seems to be doing well. so grateful! ❤
well, covid can go away anytime, like seriously...but i hope my baker and her assistant stay at it, because we all concur that the evening "slice of cake" helps take the edge off this seemingly endless pandemic and all the accompanying craziness.
ahhhh...a sweet bite of goodness that momentarily reminds us that there is still much to be thankful for. yep, even cake.
wow....not my words below, but they could be, exactly 100% the same thoughts, and our whole family's words too. all this as we love baby C with a fierceness that has literally, within the last week even, taken my breath away. it catches me off guard at the strangest, random times. most recently was in the parking lot at Shoppers as i buckled him into his car seat and i tousled his hair...
this is from Foster the Family, who i've mentioned here before. she gets it and she articulates it perfectly.
“I love you so much, forever,” I whispered into his little face. “Forever.”
so thankful golf is allowed during these crazy, long pandemic times. seemed like a perfect time to get the boys a golf membership and on this occasion, their first time out, Adam and Jeff joined them! apparently AJ won the round!
hopefully this golf season does lots to break up the covid fatigue and offset all the other things they miss. and sharpen their skills a bit too! thankful for a course right around the corner and one that's welcomed them so beautifully...here's to spring and summer golf 2021!
this week, simply this...
Lauren Daigle, thanks for using your voice, that amazing vessel God gave you, to impact so many who hear your music. blesses me every time. so thankful my God is holding on to me, no matter what.
enjoy!
big hugs, because i miss hugs...
