Gratitude Friday

We have had a really sad morning here at the Reynolds Nation...our sweet Goat Laverne did not make it through the freeze. She was down yesterday morning after the first freezing night and we did everything yesterday to get her going...but she just didn't make it. We had a few tears this morning, and Matt and I will bury her today.
On a good note, Matt and I are going away for the weekend...to Orlando without any kids!! The kids are staying with the in-laws and we are going to a resort!!!! WoooHooo! We are very excited and can't wait to get there. We need a weekend to ourselves...it has been a year since we were alone for more than 24 hours.

1. Of course, I am super excited and grateful for a weekend away! And for the in-laws who will watch my kids.

2. I am so glad for my kids!

3. I am grateful for the four years that we had sweet Laverne...she loved to roam the property (she was the biggest escape artist) and she loved popcorn...we will miss her.

4. I am grateful for my lovely husband...he serves me, loves me and adores me...can't beat that.

5. I am grateful for the God whose faithfulness reaches the skies.

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
