big grin

not sure why all my pictures have been so serious... so i felt i needed to prove that he does smile.

home sick

p had a fever at school yesterday and i had to go pick him up early and we are home today... what an answer to prayer :) i just needed a little time. today he has no fever and we are enjoying a sweet day inside.

thanks for faking, p. i needed this.

one day at a time

some days are easier than others to take him to 'school' and know that he is cared for... today it was hard to leave him and hard to pick him up. i just feel like im missing this sweet time that i will never get back. today im wishing there was another way...

and letting me play with my new lens. 2 things that made this saturday perfect.

to little z

our sweet nephew, little z -- who is turning into a big z right before our eyes -- found his momma had gone to be with jesus this past friday morning.

he is the strongest, most courageous, resilient 6th grade boy i have ever known. i dont think i will ever have half the courage he has.

while debating writing anything about such a tragedy, i remembered that people who read this will pray.

so please, please join us in praying for this sweet 6th grade boy who has lost his mom. he needs the loving sweet grace of god to surround him... the road ahead is long, but he will not be alone.
