Whats Been Goin' On

Got all my hair chopped off.

Took a picture of my new favorite shoes.
pictured from left to right...
Cameron's feet, my feet, Megan's feet.
I'm in love with these Ssekos.

Made a Thankful Tree
These trees are all the rage right now.
I'm sure they will be showing up soon on Stuff Christians Like.
Jenn made one.
Rachel made one.
I think Kendra was the inspiration.
Sorry to keep pointing this out...
but would ya take a look at those cute shoes.

Wanted to make our Thankful Tree earlier in the month...but...well...

Hmmm...

I didn't.

I think "Better Late Than Never" will be on my tomb stone.

The other day I stumbled upon a girl's blog from New Life. Her name is Jessie.
She painted some trees.
I loved those trees.

Thought about those trees when I closed my eyes that night.
Imagined myself painting them all over our bedroom walls.
Imagined Aaron's eyes opening in the morning.
Wanted him to wake up in a forest of bubble leaf trees.
But I fell asleep.
We woke up in our regular, bubble-free, noncarbonated bedroom instead.

Asked Jessie if I could copy her quirky trees for our Thankful Tree.
She said yes.

Every night, the fam will write what we're thankful for on a leaf of our choice and glue it on our Thankful Tree.

I made our tree out of fabric instead of paper because I wanted to use it again next year and because of Little Britches.

I figured he'd take one look at a paper thankful tree and be thankful that I made him a paper wonderland to destroy (and eat).

Thanksgiving.

Oh Jesus pour Thanksgiving into our souls. Remind us of your goodness. Let us see babies feet, hear a violin play, taste Butternut squash, smell homemade bread, touch our husband's face and be reminded

of your great

rich

wild

overflowing

above and crazy beyond

out of control

love

for us.

Remind us that our worst days...our biggest no good, very bad days don't begin to compare to the suffering and pain going on around the world.

Heaven awaits and until we get there grace abounds.

Thanksgiving

1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
