The on going potty training.  Now with a piano....

I asked Anthony to take out the trash.  What a sweet boy to help out his Momma. Unfortunately for him, a jar broke in the process of getting the bag to the curb.  It gave Anthony this cool looking cut which sent us to the ER for the morning.  He was so very brave and didn't even cry. 

A walk to Target is always fun.

A beautiful 12 year old!  Happy Birthday Grace Therese!  We love you!  What a young Lady you are becoming!

Eyeing the cake, and being uncharacteristically patient!

Swimming lessons week, which means free pool time!

our neighbor, Ashley, joined us.

Celebrating the life of my Aunt Donna.  She sadly and unexpectedly passed away this month.  After many, many prayers for recovery, the Lord knows best and we are called to trust and continue to pray.  There were many lovely pictures going around in remembrance but these two stuck out to me and I love them!  How sweet is the then picture and how lovely is the "now" picture.  Donna will always remain in our hearts and prayers and we are thankful for her prayers for us.  I will always be amazed by our Sand family during the difficult time while she was in ICU.  The love, the prayers, the support,...  the love.  They were beautiful. Their hearts radiated beauty and love.  What a gift was their example.  I pray that all families can have that.
