Some highlights from our memorable Memorial Day weekend.
We celebrated the gift of hard work.
And the gift of play.
We had time to sit and soak up the gift of new life.
And the gift of having her daddy’s touch, protection and LOVE.
The gift of an Auntie who spoils them rotten
And the gift of my heart expanding once more
The gift of a large (relatively speaking) family
and the gift of freedom of expression
The gift of firsts
And the gift of pure enjoyment
The gift of (40 years of ) marriage
And the gift of giving
We ended the long weekend watching a touching documentary of some of our bravest brethren and began to explain to our little one the gift of sacrificial giving and the courage of giving one’s life for another. We thanked them, offered prayers for them and were humbled once more.
Then, with patriotic pride in our heart’s, we celebrated the gift of good ‘ole fashioned baking with Dad’s famous chocolate chip cookies! 🙂
I am so amazed at how, under your leadership, your family is able to extract the absolute maximum from each day and each event. You truly know the meaning of living each day and moment to it’s fullest!!
