I must confess I haven't been faithful in making my gift list each day or even each week. I will have to rely very heavily on the pictures to remind me of the gifts and I'm sure I'll forget many. But I press forward and begin again.
Ephesians 5:20
"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
0649. our C turning 9 -- how is that possible?!
0650. her insistence to look through her entire baby album before opening her gifts
0651. baby albums, because otherwise I would forget SO much!
0652. giving her the gift she was dreaming of... a camera!
0653. thank you hugs
0654. big sister armed with her camera too!
0655. take a picture of ME taking a picture of YOU! (and of course, Mom had to take a picture too!)
0656. birthday lunch out
0657. cupcakes from Grandma and Grandpa
0658. John's birthday -- a day for which we are extremely thankful
0659. a lemon meringue pie made with love - a gift from his mom
0660. a giant cupcake to add sweetness to his day - a gift from my mom
(we have more sugar in this house than I know what to do with!!)
0661. a birthday for me too! 33 years full of God's love and mercy!
0662. birthday gifts in the mailbox
0663. an afternoon with my mom and my girls
0664. a giant cupcake for me too and my favorite -- lemon!!
0665. the fun of turning 4!! our littlest niece had a birthday too!
0666. birthday cards read out loud and her attentiveness to each one
0667. big boxes next to little girls
0668. finding flowers on my desk at work - a birthday bouquet from a friend
0669. God's perfect timing
0670. the perfection in His creation
0671. beauty from dust
0672. this song -- my new favorite. It's just what I've needed to remember this month
0673. And between all the celebrating, the ability to press forward with school and work
0674. the promise that spring really is coming and open windows will soon be an everyday occurrence!
