Sunday Sunshine: Family and Sunshine

Practicing contentment by remembering the graces of the week.

This week we were blessed with multiple days of sunshine - in our rather gray climate, this is a huge blessing.  Not only does it warm the skies and lighten up the house it seems to add energy and motivation to the body too.

Other bright spots this week included visits from two of our brothers.  I enjoy watching GBaby explore the world with her uncles.  One of the visits also included a work-day which resulted in the completion of the framing for the closet we're putting in our bedroom.  The framing was done with wood that was cut from our property that HandyMan milled last fall.  This is particularly satisfying from a 'living off the land' stance as well as making the project a little easier on the budget.

I'm thankful that another bump of swollen gums in GBaby's tiny mouth has sprung free another tooth, we're up to 9.  I was extremely grateful for a bit of personal time on Saturday morning to finish up some lingering projects.  I'm thankful for fireplaces and hot chocolate on cold winter days.

May your week be blessed and may you recognize the graces as they abound in your life!
