Twelve Years

Our anniversary fell on a Saturday this year, luckily for our girls. :-)  They had been having secret "Brownie Meetings" all week, planning a surprise for us.  So when they came in to wake us up, we were led down the hall to a special anniversary breakfast. Peanut butter toast, oranges, and water, complete with place cards and gifts.  And a special viewing of The Incredibles, Daddy's favorite. 

 Charis had created this collage for us -- one square from each girl.  I cried quite a bit that morning.

While most days around here, even our anniversary, may be spent getting little jobs done on the house, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning, nothing incredibly exciting... 

I'm reminded of the blessings we have.  Our house may not be anywhere close to finished, but God is raising a precious family in it.  And life with my handsome James just keeps getting better.
