Practicing Gratitude 2.16.15

- Bubble baths at Daboo's

- Happy 15th to you, Bran. So grateful we get to be your parents. All the time.

- Branson's 15th birthday dinner ~ loved celebrating with special friends and family.

All four grandparents ~ indescribable gift

NickMo, Mitchell, Bran and Coach Manks

Coulter, Hud, Marc, John and B

So grateful for this crew

Sweet sisters

And oh my gosh - the neighborhood-community-effort-strawberry cake... doesn't look like much, but it was amazing (no laughing, KDS!) Actually, you can laugh. But it tasted fantastic.

- Valentine baking with Daboo - these cookies sent with lots of love to Tulsa, Bozeman and Alpharetta

- Essie's planet project. The Lord's provision - truly - of creativity, time and efficiency in getting it finished. We were quite interrupted with the Doritos commercials and crafted "Uranus" at the 11th hour. And her project - not only finished on time - but super cute!

- Mama's health concern requiring a CTscan, endoscopic ultrasound, multiple appointments and procedures. She was given this bracelet by a hospital employee in the process.

- How did she know I needed a scone??

- B's first high school baseball scrimmage.

Look who's here - must be baseball season

- Sunny afternoon at the park ~ highlight of my Sunday.

- "Wilsons restaurant"

Thankful that this still happens, that they haven't outgrown make-believe

One guess as to who wrote out the menu...

- Heart and soul. They've got mine.

- Bran's small group. Can we say thankful?!

- Another scrimmage - grateful that Bran's having fun.

- Michael and Kathy Burr - son and mother - God's grace poured out to our church body (and others) through their lives and story.

- Mrs. WELLMAN!

Goodness, we are so fortunate to have her teaching our kiddos

- Miranda, Harmony and Ryan at 5th grade lunch

We love FishStix

- Corbin's going-away reception at Kent & Co

Thank you, Kim, for planning such a great evening!

- Rooneys keeping the girls for us as we left town - made the transition much easier (for Essie especially) knowing they'd get to be with sweet friends
