Those pictures of you with the boys just made my heart smile.
And, I’m thinking all of your children could be magazine models and you and Hubby could retire. They are so cute and have such infectious smiles.
Happy Friday my friend!
I always enjoy reading your Friday words so much!
great favorites 🙂 those pics of you and your boys in your twins gear are precious.
I’m a Minnesota Girl too! I live in Georgia now, but grew up in Andover, MN. I am loving reading through your blog. I try to fit in a few posts each morning so i can read your back story. You’re a very great inspiration in the mornings!
One of my favorite things: your blog!
You have a beautiful family. 🙂
I’m secretly excited for my son to get to the lego age! I wanna play too! Isn’t that part of the fun of having kids…playing with their toys?!
Thanks for hosting!
That’s the blessings of being able to see joy through your kids eyes and you capture it so very well. I love more than anything how your kids are kids. There are so many kids that don’t use their imaginations or play outdoors. What I see on your kids faces are pure expressions on happiness. Great job!!
your kids are so cute:) legos and maps sound like a must have!! will remember that 🙂
The Lord has blessed you so richly with all these amazing kids! And He’s blessed them with you!
Continuing to lift up prayers!
Psalms 71:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
