You may have read my post last week and you may not have. I want to share with you this weekend some of the gifts I have received from our gracious and amazing God. There have been so many that this list is incomplete, but I want to share with you some of the things I have given thanks for.
- Little boy pretending that his sweatshirt is “High Shining Armor” running around with a fake helmet on.
- Looking back at a video from March 2nd and seeing the weight that I have lost!
- The bushes in front just about to bloom and share that amazing aroma that they give off when they open.
- The sunshine coming to warm up the afternoon and free the boys from the house.
- A chance to trust a little boy to take photos and enjoy the cute things he chose to capture (with his finger in each photo)
- Random playdates with the neighbor
- Little brother repeating what big brother says and does no matter what.
- An evening drive to get ice cream
- Watching the sunshine creep down our fence waiting for it to touch our yard and let the boys free
- Watching littlest slide down the stairs on his tummy to “run” to get his treat
- Licking the beater
- A MIL who gives hubby and I a date night
- Listening to big brother tell little brother all about the things he’s imagining them doing.
- Big brother teaching little brother a new word, “Owl”
- A sweet call from my husband giving me an early mother’s day present.
What are some of the gifts you received today?
Sounds like you had a truly blessed week! My oldest is all about “armor” right now! I have no idea where he even learned about it. He also has his own Fisher Price camera (which is CRAP, not even 2 megapixel!) and knows how to take pictures on my iPhone (in fact, I loaded the default camera for him to play around and he said he didn’t want that camera! He closed out of it and opened up a more advanced camera app on my iPhone. I was SHOCKED!)
I’ll trust him with my point and shoot too, but I’ve only let him take pictures on my DSLR while I’m holding it. We can’t afford to replace it and my heart would shatter if he broke it.
Our little one also mimics the big one. If he sees his big brother do ANYTHING, he has to do the exact same thing. Fun times ahead!
