So Much Grattitude!


Today, I was looking through some old photos.
I found these darling self-timer photos of Claire, Jane, Ollie and Gigs
on my computer, and they made me laugh out loud.
These photos were taken while I was in the hospital in Arizona for
about a month with my hunchie surgery a few years back.

They kind of made me feel guilty.  
I had seemingly felt like I had been wasting so much time getting better.
I used to think that by the time I was going to be "better", 
the kids will have moved out!
Or it just seems that way.

I am so grateful for an amazing family all around me that keeps these monkeys
of mine happy and laughing when I can't.

I was writing thank you cards today, and my heart was so filled with
love for many people who took (and continue to) care for us daily.
I wrote a thank you to my dear cousin Jayne
{whose husband is the fabulous Jed who did this}
because she pumped her own breast milk for Charlotte while I was in the
hospital with my last surgery.
That's true love!
I thought about my sisters, who often call to ask how they can help. 
I also thought about my sweet brothers, who text me out of the 
blue to check in and see how I'm doing. 
Then there are the sweet letters and e-mails I get from strangers
 that lift and give me support.
Thank you so much!
You'll never know the effect you've had in my recovery process!
