Thankful...

That my husband and their daddy is coming home tomorrow.



That he has such a kind, giving, selfless heart.

For the best mother-in-law in the world. Who graciously took Simms for 5 days. I'm not even gonna act like I could have pulled this off without that generosity. Mothering 2 children is hard anyway. But being a single mama with a baby and a toddler for 8 days, well, I'm just glad we didn't have to go there! Thank you Mrs. Lil! Simms enjoyed her time with you and Papa Doc so much! I am so blessed to have them as my in-laws.



For MY mother and brother who have alternated staying with me while Dru has been gone, because I'm scary like that, and won't stay alone (Cope doesn't count).

For this sweet time with Cope. I have no words for how much I love our baby boy.
Check out those shoes. Had to protect those feet from splinters. And can you see how much he looks like Dru? Wow.

For having Simms back- with all the chaos that it brings with 2. This is exactly how my life was meant to be. I love her so!


For the Lord's protection and guidance over this group as they have ministered in Ahuachapan, El Salvador. They have added on to churches, taught VBS, got a thrift shop up and running and many other things. From what I've been told, they can't wait to go back. I've heard amazing stories. Dru is requesting that Simms and I go back with him. Cope may be a little young for those vaccines. I was supposed to be on this trip. I have a plane ticket just sitting here, but couldn't be properly vaccinated due to nursing.


I can't wait for Wednesday!
And one more of those hilarious shoes:
