Sacred Ordinary
Lisa Jo- Baker framed it well as she said that in these days of parenting she was
"unwrapping the
extraordinarily sacred ordinary"....
I am thankful for the gifts I have been given to unwrap today...
the extraordinary-
scones and croissants for breakfast at Grateful Bread with Liam
tons of rubber ducks spotted in a yard
reconnecting with James B & Renee Notkin for a brief and sweet visit this morning
a bright sunshiny day
the sacred ordinary-
taking the kids to school
going to observe a teacher for SPU at Roosevelt High School
running with Elizabeth
Grateful Bread with Liam today to celebrate his special day... (Happy 7th!)
coffee with Jerry
Flat Jeff came with us to breakfast this morning
YUM!
Anna is holding her croissant like a baby because it was HUGE -
we laughed that it was the size of a small child...
As I took Liam to school, we spotted this house that had rubber ducks all over the yard.
This was definitely worthy of a photo opp...
I asked a neighbor about this and she told me that they have done this for years.
They put out the ducks for every holiday...
Above is the rubber duck wedding in honor of Valentine's Day...
You can find them on Facebook under the Wedgewood Ducks!
Liam with the yard full of ducks...
What a fun way to start the day!!
One Day More
if I could sing and if I were back in college, I would have LOVED to have been a part of this!
(This was done at Belmont University in Nashville)

Too Good Not to Share...
really? Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies...
definitely TOO good not to share!
cookies and milk tonight at bedtime at the Hestads
pajama time
good stories... (and such good neighbors!)
cue the bedtime song:
"the time has come for us to say that this has been a lovely day....
and God's Spirit dwelling in your heart
won't be leaving 'cause the sun goes down..
So have a good night. Have a good night. Have a good night.
Have a good night- our sweet child...."
the last bite...

Music Makes the World Go Round
Music makes the world go round...
Thankful for the sweet songs that came out of Laurelhurst Elementary
today during their school assembly...
Firework - 4th grade style
( I admit that I totally got teary during this song listening to these kids sing their hearts out)
Anna's flute performance today
One More Step Toward Freedom - 2nd grade performance
Taylor singing some Adele in the car! :)
(This could be shown at a future rehearsal dinner....)
an attentive audience
a job well done...
pretty in pink
FABULOUS music teacher (Ms. Howard) with a love for music that is infectious
Anna and Ms. Knighton (her sweet instrumental music teacher) who has been wonderful in helping her improve in her flute this year!!
