So thankful for today.

We had a simply wonderful day. It was simple, and it was wonderful. We spend the gloriously sunny afternoon at my folks' house. The girls adore Grama and Boompa and started clapping as soon as we turned down the driveway! Claire and Aubrey really are spoiled; they have the most wonderful grandparents any kids could ask for - on both sides of the family! What a blessing!

They enjoyed swinging in their dolphin swing hanging from Grandpa Wilson's Tree, and watching Lucky the Dog, and dancing to the cool 70s tunes playing on Uncle Sam's Record Player. They pushed each other around in the dolly stroller, and ate treats and ran around on the deck. Grama and Boompa took them for a rambling walk to hear the frogs in the pond and the birdies in the trees, and to smell the freshness of a sunny spring day. Little Aubrey was so cute sitting in her stroller with her stylish pink sunglasses on, her blankie "little pink" clutched in one hand, and her other little hand raised up SO high waving at me with her tiny little fingers as they walked by.

Ryan and I detailed our sweet ride (hey, if we can't buy a newer car, we might as well make our old one look new!) and then Uncle Joey grilled up some great burgers. My family life is, amazingly, like watching a 50s sitcom sometimes. And I love it! What could be more wonderful and good and wholesome? I am so grateful that I can experience some of God's greatest blessings through the warmth, love and sincerity of my family.
