365 Project | Week 8

It was a unique week ... it started off pretty crazy when I ended Tuesday only four hours shy of what I needed for the week at work. However, the blessing of that was that I got to spend all day at home on Wednesday and Friday. :) Woo-hoo! I LOVE being home. As things are right now, it's part of God's plan for our family for me to be working part-time outside our home, but I do love being home. :o)

I really enjoyed taking pictures again this week, and I have piles that aren't being included in my final seven. And even though I have some others that are "better" aesthetically, these seven seem to capture the essence of our week.

Day 50. Matthew enjoying some Daddy-time, post-nap and pre-church. Notice that pink thing towards his lap? It's the pink plastic icecream cone he randomly became attached to ... until it randomly disappeared. ;o)
Day 51. The weather was beautiful this last week, and Peter spent a lot of time outside ... always with Toby at his side (or maybe a little ahead of him). :o)Day 52. Matthew's begun asking Daddy to fly the helicopter immediately following welcome-home hugs (or sometimes even before!) A few weeks back the helicopter was brought out, and then put away without being flown because Matthew wasn't willing to sit down so Daddy could fly it safely. Thankfully, the lesson was quickly learned. Now, Matthew (usually) hops in the chair as soon as Daddy goes for the helicopter. Praise the Lord!

Day 53. Thoroughly enjoyed my time home with just Matthew on Wednesday morning. :o)

Day 54. Very thankful for a fantastic pediatric dentist office. All of the staff are great with kids! (This picture was not posed!)

Day 55. Successful clown and cowboy day! :o) Not the most comprehensive picture of their outfits, but I love their smiles in this one! :o)

Day 56. Miss Hannah-bug is officially riding without training wheels! Woo-hoo!

Thankful for a good week in so many ways--not the least of which are the lessons the Lord's been teaching me in my quiet time with Him. Thankful for His love, mercy, and grace each and every day.
