miles meets ggma


my dad's mom turned 90 last month! she is still as sharp and thoughtful as ever and she looooves her great grandchildren! we took a daytrip to introduce her to miles this past weekend. it was a short trip (2.5 hrs each way), but a very good reminder of why we don't travel all that much. of course adam came with us on only 2 hrs sleep the night before...such a trooper! we are so glad we went though! marit said the next day that ggma is her "best friend in the whole world."

cousins kate, peter, and penny stopped by





we were also thankful to have one last moment with my brother and his sweet wife before they go back to india.

trying to convince the cat to come out of hiding




it is no coincidence that we have been studying contentment in Sunday school and that i keep running across articles like this one. it has been a rough little stretch with adam on nights and the kids needing so much redirection (of course they do at 3 and 2...why am i surprised?) lately. we are by God's good grace, keeping our eyes on His goodness and not our failures and striving to be thankful when we are so tired and mis-communications abound.
