Pictures and Memories

I am terrible at uploading pictures onto the computer.  My phone was finally out of memory so I got around to uploading some and thought I would post some favorites here as an update for family and friends. Especially since I never got around to sending Christmas cards :-)

I'm not very good at remembering to take pictures, but I got some birthdays and fun adventures.

Some birthdays:

 

Unfortunately, after I uploaded these, I deleted them from the computer on accident, but then I remembered they were automatically saved on google+ so I'm glad I still have them.  It was fun looking at these memories and feeling thankful for my sweet family and how much love fills my life.  Life has it's challenges, but definitely it's marvelous joys too! Sometimes I wish things would just slow down so I could have time to drink in these moments more deeply. Thankfully, each day is filled with more. I don't want these little ones to grow so fast, but people keep telling me that grandparenthood is amazing too. I will hope they are right.  In the mean time, I will try to remember to be thankful for each gift of a day!
