I'm back working, Daniel is busy working at the church and studying his classes and Gus is learning to make lots of noise. (and kick everything in sight)
This week, I was blessed to get to spend some time with my sweet friend Jennifer and her baby Sophie. Such fun was had at the expense of 2 - 5 month old babies. Augustus and Sophie are going to be such great buddies! (blessing 23)
I am so grateful for friends that are there through thick and thin... Jennifer is such a great friend and a blessing in my life. I'm excited to see what fun God has in store for us!
Augustus is at Camp Mimi and I am off to Oklahoma for work tomorrow. I am thankful for my parents. (blessing 24,25)
They are so helpful with Augustus - taking him at a moments notice and just "throwing" him into their life. I am so thankful for their love of children and ability to make anyone a part of their homelife instantly. I love that no matter what is going on, they take him as their own. I guess they do this because I am one of their own - Gus must get in based on my credentials. :) Then again, they do this with any kid - kids pretty much get in with my parents based on God's credentials - which is such a cool thing. I am so thankful that my parents raised me to know that family is the most important. Period.
I love that he is able to spend days with them and is able to be influenced by their godly, calm and laid-back ways. Although life at Verdepais Ranch is always insane and everything changes with the wind - Mom and Dad are able to remain calm and know that it will work out. (while remaining to smile)
I've learned so many things from them and I pray that I am able to teach Gus the same:
- With God everything is possible.
- Trust is priceless.
- Life is life.
- Things could always be worse.
- When everything is crazy - remain calm - it will get better.
- You are stuck with family - whether you like it or not.
- This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
