Thankful List for April 2016

Thankful List for April:
-friends making progress in their adoption plans

And a few random things that have nothing to do with adoption:
-kids trying to feed ducks
-quilts
-getting to watch Tuck and Noah play baseball together
-getting to watch Hollis play soccer
-celebrating Charlotte's 60th birthday
-celebrating Carson's 30th birthday
-painting party: money raised for missions

- a trip to Nashville: meant rare time with my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew (and getting to see their beautiful new home), an amazing Kid's ministry conference (and so many great resources), and sharing a special connection with new friends (thankful to walk through the highs and lows of children's ministry with them through a thousand message group text)

-celebrating Ben's 36th birthday: thankful for his integrity, passion, leadership, wisdom, and corny jokes
-Mimi and Pop's visit: Ranger's game, geocaching, shopping, homemade bread, Tuck finally learning to ride his bike
-Mimi, Libby, and I were fine after our car accident when a woman ran a stop sign.  I've thought many times how grateful I am  we weren't there 2 seconds earlier... the outcome could have been so very different.

“Aslan" said Lucy "you're bigger".
"That is because you are older, little one" answered he.
"Not because you are?"
"I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger".”
