Thankfulness. Contagious and powerful. Keep looking up.
Nice to see a bit of normal back in your posts! Praying and praying for you all and Samuel!
<><
Great list…so lifting!
I didn’t know markers could have caps 😉 Maybe some day… Love the list.
Love your normal every day living. Such life and beauty captured there.
Samuel’s pic is soooo cute!!
hugs to you~ Cinnamon
Great list Rachel. I love Trader Joes too 🙂
Markers with caps, that sounds vaguely familiar… I seem to remember markers that came with caps, though no one seems to know what happened to the caps…
Such a lovely list, I almost cried a bit at the summer lake picture! Minnesota winters are just. so. long.
So glad to see your little guys is doing so much better! Isn’t it wonderful when a doctor calls you to check up on your child?! I’ve had two different docs do that in times past, and I respected them sooo much for it! They really, really, cared, for them it wasn’t just a day job…
Our 6 yr old has been in the hospital since Sunday night, and, oh, do I know how long it gets, and how earing the back and forth, and being torn between two places is… Iw as hoping she would be discharged today, but she’s just not ready to be off of the oxygen yet, hopefully and prayerfully tomorrow!
Enjoy this February sunshine!
so much to be thankful for… your heart just overflows with gladness… i’m thrilled you guys are having some sweet relief and slowly heading back to the norm.
Love them all! And glad you’re able to start enjoying these everyday pleasures again.
Rachel,
I am checking out the Pathway Readers and the website is confusing to me. Is the Beginning to Read series a complete Kindergarten curriculum and the Early Readers the complete first grade curriculum? Otherwaise, what does it cover? It just seems like an awful lot of workbooks/books. Do you order them all? Am I making this harder than it needs to be?
Thanks, Rachel for your insight!

God has showered you with so many blessings! Wonderful list if His goodness!
We should fight the terrorists with “Lego”s. 😀
Sweet Samuel made me smile.
Love your list…especially the broom!
Know that I’m always here praying!
Psalms 116:6-7 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

His eyes just dance all over the screen…that sweet Samuel of yours. So much to be thankful for!
These verses are so comforting. Continuing to pray!!!!!!!!!
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
