Our Family and Thankfulness

Sometimes it;s the littlest things that make all the difference in the world. That fill me with gratitude and fill my days with reminders of how awesome and faithful God is.

Like kids sleeping in,

Sunshine till almost 11 at night,

Temperatures warm enough for sprinklers and beaches,

Surprises in you inbox,

The planning of vacation and the excitement that comes with having a week with just the 2 big kids.

 

The fact that with summer comes the need for no bedtimes or naps and all the adventures that can fill days because of that.

Because this, and this:

...is how every long weekend should be spent.

Filled to overflowing with *goodness*, *blessings*, *joy*, *friends* and *laughter*

Happy 144th Birthday Canada!

There is no better way to spend a long weekend, and the start of summer vacation, then surrounded by friends (who really are just extended family)

And despite the fog that rolled in thick blocking out the view of the fireworks for those that stayed to watch, God filled the sky with a light show to rival even the best man-made display.

A perfect end to a busy day! (and that was just the start of the weekend!)
