We have a lot to be grateful for. Sometimes that shows itself to me in big ways, other times it comes in smaller ways, the quiet days that remind me how very fortunate we are. Yesterday morning I met some friends for an early morning run on the trail from Indianola to Carlisle. One of my friends, Corissa, is an adventurous and creative mom who is currently hatching chickens and ducks in an incubator at her house. And has a tadpole aquarium. And has an indoor caterpillar farm. She invited me to bring the girls over to see the recently hatched chickens before they move to their permanent home in the country.
Here's Amelia holding Fluffy, the first chick hatched from a brown egg.
Ava holding Goldie.
The girls loved seeing the chicks, the incubator, the brooder and all the fun things Corissa is doing with her boys at their house. They were a little bit (ok, a lot) envious!
Then last night the girls got to go to a wedding, the daughter of good friends of John's (and mine). The wedding was at our church, the reception at a local golf club. The bride was lovely, beautiful and calm and the wedding had a very loving, comfortable feeling about it. And then the dancing began and my girls are dancing fools. It was just so much fun to watch them busting out their moves on the dance floor and even more fun to dance with them.
John and Amelia take a spin on the dance floor...
The party animals show us how it's done!
These happy faces just make me feel so unbelievably fortunate.
