SO MUCH...

It's in recognizing the little things that joy can be found.  The details of life that we so often take for granted. Even on a "down" sort of day, taking time to notice, is a great pick-me-up!
**************************************************

111. Two kids who now do their own laundry, start to finish!

112. Healthy animals.
113. 2 Cor 12 spoke to my heart in preparation for what this day had in store. Love how God does that!
114. 8 healthy puppies getting fatter every day!
115. God's strength.
116. Evan didn't get furlowed this week.
117. Little boy boots sitting on the deck rail reminding me of the stage of life I'm at.
118. Buds on the trees.
119. A broken picture repaired.
120. A friend's prayer in time of needed encouragement.
121. An almost finished dining room table.
122. An almost-healed back for Evan! He's doing so much better!
123. Clean water to drink.
124. A place to dwell on our pilgrimage here.
125. Eggs coming out of our ears! (Egg salad, oven pancakes, sunshine cake... anything to use up eggs!)
126. Chocolate.
127. A dentist found who takes our insurance!
128. Birthdays -- a special one coming up!
129. A school year winding down.
130. Greatly improving eye sight for my son!

Who's having the *special* birthday, and why is it *special*?? You cannot tease us like that Terri! ;-)

Wow...laundry done by the kids...great job!

Your horses are gorgeous...Emma *loves* horses. :)

Hmmm...eggs...I think it would be great to have my own supply...they suggested I get a chicken when I went through Costco with oh, about 9 Dozen. LOL!

Much Love,
Camille

Oh... every birthday is special, but Evan's is in a couple weeks, and the kids have already been making him cards and talking about it. Everyone loves daddy, you know! :)

Just a couple chickens would probably give you what you need. Oh wait... 9 dozen eggs... you may need a few more than that! We're getting about 2 dozen a day right now and we have about 40 chickens. (That's a lot of egg washing!!!)

Blessings on your week!!

Oh... also... 3 of the 6 horses are not ours. We just board them for friends, and it so happens that the ones in these pictures happen to be theirs! :)
