Our {Wonderfilled} Week 6

Hello there!!  

I have missed writing and am back!  We had a garage sale this weekend to prepare in just two short days, and some important doctor visits and follow-ups, but I am all-in to be grateful for this past week!

 Last Sunday I delayed Our Wonder*filled Week and wrote about Ethan's greatest triumph.  

So, this week I have some thankfulness resonating from the prior week too.  

I was super grumpy from all that I was trying to accomplish.  I needed a breather.  Tonight I grabbed E after dinner,told him to put his shoes on, found the basketball buried in our laundry room bench and took him to shoot some hoops.  We had so much fun, and I realized I need to do that more often.  I always loved basketball and it was so nice to see that part of me is still there.  On the way home, we laughed and chatted and then...

154.  I love you mom.

{made my day}

155. waiting for the first taste of fall, just-baked pumpkin muffins

{seriously, spontaneous photo, so sweet}

155. Saturday morning silliness

{the bookshelves are attached to the wall}

156.  having enough brothers to make a train!

{where's our engine and caboose?}

157. boys who love to color, especially Griffin and his purple crayon

{I think there is a book about that one...}

158. silly. silly. and pretending to be serious.

{there's the lil' engineer}

159.  the complete awe of having a big brother who can build very cool things.

160. having the truth set you free...with Him all things ARE possible.

Our {Wonderfilled} Week 5

A little late, this mama
is under the weather,
this will help me
quit my whining
{grin}.

My gratitude from this past week

is far and wide.

Fall is here.
Apples are ripe for the picking.
I am looking forward to
baking and all the festivities of
the next few months.

I have to admit,
These lil' punkins are my absolute favorite...

This week was uber-full,
with a 2-year-well visit for 4 on Friday.

There are a few follow ups for my little guys.
EEG, possible hernia surgery, eye doctor,
all things we can handle
with Him.

Let me begin...

142. A few hours out with my sweet man.


143. Wearing my favorite warm socks.


144. Boys rough-housing


145. Hearing "me want cookies" in that
famous cookie-monster voice.


146. Being able to buy 3 new winter coats
{thanks to birthday money}


147. Watching a little boy fall in love with karate.


148. S'mores by the fire.


149. A little boy counting down to my birthday
{aren't you excited mom?!}


150. Being able to share what I love here.
{thank you}


151. Four boys on the standard growth chart,
doing so very well.


152. A 2.9 lb. baby now a 24+ lb. little boy.


153.  Hearing the neurologist speak the words of hope
we have waited for...no, I don't believe he has cerebral palsy,
maybe some challenges to overcome, but all things he'll manage.
{our miracle Liam}
of course the sweetest words of the year
