Life

So we have had soooo many things go wrong around here lately. I hear over and over that God gives us only what we can handle, never more. I am NOT handling things real well here, God! But with all the crap we are dealing with - I can still see so much good in my everyday life. Healthy husband and kids, roof over our head, plenty of food to eat and love, tons and tons of love!!!!! Maybe this is the season of my life to bring me back to the basics and remember what is most important - not the unrepaired roof in the playroom (it's getting there - we hung sheetrock together tonight), the broken camera, the broken icemaker on the freezer, the unbelievable lack of work for Daddy Piper, the dying pine trees, and the list goes on and on from there. But still, so much to be thankful for, every single day!

My babies make everyday and adventure. We cut L's hair yesterday. She wanted it cut so off we went. She went to great clips instead of the most coveted Snip Its. It was still cheaper to go there and get a Barbie than go to Snip its. Well she had her doll today and S took it away from her and she was chasing him around the couch trying to get it back. I laughed and laughed watching them. It was such a pure joy kinda moment. J tried to get in the fun but wasn't quick enough to participate but still, he was right in there. Such precious moments to treasure!!
