Wow...what a week

This weeks seems to have been a little crazier than normal. We have played outside a great deal, had Eli's "girlfriend" over...which makes me admire those with multiples even greater! Chris and I were able to have some good conversation this week...and "be on the same page" with life stuff...that was good. We were able to hear Jeff Foxworthy at a church event this week and it was a great time to relax and have some good laughs! We spent the night at the Keiths and were able to have some good conversation when we got home and the next morning...what a blessing family is!

Anyhow, Eli is beginning to show his independent side...which is a bit frustrating at times. Pray for us on this one! We want to be wise in how we handle these times. Today has been "one of those days" where he has wanted things his way or no way....he is still asleep and going for a record nap as of right now so I'll keep typing...

We were suppose to make a journey to Knoxville today for my sister's graduation, but Eli has had a fever off and on for the past little while and so we decided we better not risk a six hour round trip with this and his "attitude". All that to say, I was sad that I wasn't able to share this day with her....but, we will see each other next week, and I can't wait to hug her neck and say congrats! What an incredible feet to have a masters in teaching!! What a wonderful teacher you will be!

We were able to hang out with our dear friends Brandy and Chad last night and it was a really nice relaxing evening, with good conversation. These people have such precious hearts, and we are so glad that the Lord has used them to speak to our lives.
I have to start wrapping this up, because Eli is waking up and has had an extremely long nap today...which is always a huge blessing.

I'll end with another list of things I am truly grateful for:

Grace

Good conversations

Eli's belly laugh

Getting to relax and hear Jeff Foxworthy

Warm weather

Sisters

Looking at little things and realizing they are just that.....there is no reason to get frustrated..life it too short

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--mediate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:8-9
