Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful for how much Nadia has grown in the last year. She’s healthy and happy and the delight of our lives. I love comparison photos of visits to the pumpkin patch.

Thankful Thursday

This video is the Nadia Drum Scene “Act 2”. This is what she did while I was baking a practice cake/birthday cake for myself this week.


 

  • I am thankful for all the volunteers in the KIDS HOPE USA program this year. I introduced the last 6 new mentors this week and now the program is in full swing. WOO HOO!
  • For the KIDS HOPE program being under way. Now I can dial down the mania a bit and establish more of a routine for Nadia and I.
  • For our awesome trees. They make the yard look so full and Nadia loves the birds that fly around them for her entertainment.
  • For Mike and Nadia. God has blessed me so much with the two of them and I can’t imagine my world without them.
  • For the tons of hand me down clothes that Nadia has been given.
  • For my friends and family – near and far.

Thankful Thursday

Today I am most grateful that my friends and family in the Houston area are safe and sound. Nadia’s Papa and Grandma are there plus my aunt, cousins and many friends. Even though they are without power and unsure of the future, their houses were not severely damaged. I am also grateful to members of my church who are packing up to head and help with disaster relief in Beamount on Friday morning.
