Thankful

There was a big storm in our area on Wednesday night. It's Texas. In the springtime. So, I guess it's to be expected. But really, it's hard to "expect" something like this. For us it was a bigger storm than normal. And I am sad. But we are so thankful and steadfast in our belief that the Lord spared us from something much more terrible.

I am sad about my deck.

I am sad for the other tree that this enormous branch took out.

I am sad to have lost a chair that I so loved to sit in while the kids were playing in the yard.

I am so sad for my tree that looks like it lost an appendage.

But I am so thankful that the damage wasn't worse. And I am so full of praise that no one was hurt.

So I took pictures today of the three things for which Daryn and I are most thankful.

Hard Workers

You boys worked SO HARD this weekend moving rocks for our enourmous flowerbed on the hill. I'm not saying we had kids just because of the free labor, but it certainly is a perk!
Anyway, you were awesome and you are going to be so proud of your flowerbed when it is finished!!!



Not to say that all we did was work. Can you tell what Nick is doing?
Really? Look again....
Yes, "Grass" Angel.


And Jake?
Yeah, I have no idea either.
