Gratitude

I am thankful for:

~a door for Tirzah's room. She has waited a long time for this and is VERY excited to get this door hanging! We are all thankful for Grandpa's help getting it cut the right size and all the hardware fitted properly. Tirzah is looking forward to helping out with the painting stage.

~I enjoyed this past week even though it rained a lot. Shaun helped a friend move out and everything went smoothly. Big relief.

~ had a wonderful LONG walk with my friend Jenny one morning this week at the Bay (i have to admit my legs did hurt a bit, the next day) ha-ha! I enjoyed a lunch with a friend and her 3 1/2 year old as well. She is due to have a baby in Oct and her belly is growing (I *kinda* miss those days)!!

~The kids kept busy with play dates with their friends. Tirzah had a fun afternoon swimming in the rain. She had a HUGE pool almost to herself (just 5 kids there).

~Both the kids call their Granny pretty much every day and make frequent trips with their Grandparents to the library or go over to their house for a meal, etc. What a blessing to have family CLOSE by!

I love having my parents close--it really is such a blessing. And so many memories for the kids!

I really enjoyed our walk-talk as well.
my legs were ok, but the bottoms of my feet were crying for the rest of the day!
We'll have to do that again, I love being by the water.

Sounds like a great week.

At our last home, Sarah had to endure the first year without a door to her bedroom, as well. She can certainly sympathize with Tirzah.
