trying

I've had a difficult few weeks.  Some health issues have come up...nothing life-threatening, but bothersome and uncomfortable all the same.  And a little bit complicated.  I'm sure I will share more about that in the future, when I know a little better what I'm dealing with.  For now, let's just say it's been a bit difficult.  I feel vulnerable and a little sad.  It's been hard to stay patient with those around me - not good if you're a homeschooling mama....

But something my oldest son said the other day has helped click things back into perspective.  So along those lines I'm going to count my blessings and camp on the truth.

On the brighter side, here are a few photos from our gorgeously sunny week.

a perfect day for popsicles!

Really, there's a girl in there. I promise.

I am very blessed.  I am redeemed by my Lord, I am adored by my husband, and I am blessed with beautiful, amazing children.    So I'm counting my blessings one by one.  I'm trying.
