Thankful Thursday #9

This week we are...

so excited to have Grandma Vicki visting us. The kids are having a blast and have upped their energy level about 200% so they can show her how fun they are! :-)

glad we live in Alaska. As always. Why in particular, this week? Because although we are enjoying our heat wave, it is nice to know that this is just one season of the year. Turns out all I need is a little heat to remind me I (and Matt, and the kids - all of us get grumpy when we get hot) wouldn't do well in Arizona.

happy that Grandma Karen is back in town! She was out of town dealing with a death in the family for the last month, and we have missed her. Genevieve was ecstatic to see her last Friday, Bentley went running out the door on Tuesday, and Jake? Even Jake wants in on the action - we'll see if he follows through when we give him another chance at a play date sometime soon!

proud to be Americans! Grateful for all those who serve our country and help protect our freedom!

having fun connecting with friends new and old. We saw cousins Felicity, Tiernan, and Danarra, who we haven't seen in ages, and the kids had a great time in the sprinkler. I connected with an old friend from homeschooling who brought over some new young friends (aka her children) for my kids. We had a blast and hope to get together again soon. We've also had fun at the park with Daniel & David. We're now at 8 straight weeks of Wednesday at the park - we're on a roll!

to wrap it up - we are still loving summer and so thankful for all our many blessings. Life is good.
