- Celebrating 17 years
- A screenshot of Hud's post on Instagram ~ sweet boy (feel free to roll eyes at this one... but I'm not missing a chance to memorialize this!)

- A full pool after a football meeting - makes my heart happy
 
- Football season

- Dropping in on Daddy at work - in a poodle skirt, no less

- A $12 lunch with dear friends

- Celebrating Jenna's 40th!
 
- Celebrating Karl's 50th. Wish I had a pic of the birthday couple - such a memorable celebration. Mostly because of the intimate nature of their marriage.
 
- She just discovered this place. "Closest thing to Heaven."
 
- Boys' last summer outing to the lake - Bran with his gar and bass (thanks, Daboo, for taking them again!)
 
- Watching the boys jump and flip at Flight Deck, awakening my grief for Stephanie
- Nan & Jeff's quick visit - loved our lunch. Especially Jeff's scribbles on a napkin at lunch - sharing a language for "transitions"

- The start of a new school year - new beginnings. One child's text to Corbin, "Daddy, I have the nicest teacher in the school."
- Back-to-school parties
 - All four kid's school schedules and teachers - I continue to be so impressed and touched by these teachers and staff
- New leadership at our elementary - a fresh start
- First day of school - and that it went smoothly
 
 

- Mrs. Burlin and how much Basden admires her
- Reuniting with friends
 

- Running into Sam and Campbell (and Lori!) at Sweet Frog ~ first day as big Paschal boys!
 

- Bran excited about football. And basketball. And his friends' transfers to McLean.
- My writing spot
- Your forgiveness- that it flows from the essence of your character. I can count on you to be like the prodigal son’s father - not giving me an additional lecture when I come to you in repentance but calling for a robe and a ring and a feast in my honor. (Treasury of Praise, "Clean and More")
- Emails from Navy Commanders
- These dear friends in Austin and how we miss them.

- Andee's vision and hospitality, Katherine's cooking prowress, and a room of amazing women. And of course, and Tarrant Net's Read to Win!
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles... 1 Chronicles 16:11-12
