I’m thankful for this family of mine. We’ve been weathering a lot lately, and learning to go with the plot twists that God’s been throwing at us (and more that are sure to come). The girls have been so gracious with some of recent changes going on in our home, and with all the busyness of the past few weeks too. I think we’ve all been going 100 mph, but I’m hoping we get to slow it down a bit this coming week.

These are our photo booth pictures from our family day to the Date Festival a few weeks ago. I love that we can still all squeeze into the booth (and will keep doing so for as long as we can), and I especially love the second photo on the strip of Ben and me. If I could, I would gladly give him googly eyes all day long, so I think that photo captures how much I’m still enamored by him. Believe it or not, almost every day I make him retell me the story of how we met (or I’m the one that does the retelling). I really love being married to that guy. Marriage and family life is definitely full of happy chaos, and we happen to be a pretty thick season right now, but there’s so much grace. We are very thankful for the abundance of grace that God has lavished on us, despite how undeserving we are.
