~Grateful~
Even in the midst of a mundane Monday, full of laundry, dishes, and school work, I am very aware of God’s goodness that surrounds me.
Gratefulness is a choice. This I know.
We had a wonderful weekend in the mountains, celebrating my Dad’s retirement.
He is a blessing in more ways than I can count and he is reason enough to celebrate.
This quaint little inn is where we had dinner…….
It’s windy enough to make me feel like I’m back in Kansas. I suppose that’s due in part to the hurricane that’s fast approaching the east coast. Makes me want to go grocery shopping and stock up!…..even if the storm is nowhere near me. weird, I know.
It’s colder than it should be in October in the south but I’m not complaining. I love the first chance to break out the Uggs and sweaters.
Brad popped home for lunch which is a rare occurrence. It was fun…..told him he should do it more often.
I’m hoping to make a trip to the grocery store tonight ALL ALONE. Don’t care how late but I’m out of everything and want to go all. alone. Might get a Starbucks and put my earphones in while I’m at it.
Emma is still not asleep for her nap, so I checked on her, hugged her, and told her she needed to go night night.
Her response, “But why?”
So it begins. “But why”…..there’s a question that never ends.

Oh, there you are! What a beautiful post; gorgeous photos and writing that makes me wish you’d written more. It’s cute that your hubby came home for lunch. Mine never could do that because of where his route was, so, if I wasn’t working, I’d go meet him. At that time I had our little Ryan with me. Fun times, but I’m glad they’re over because it was also a very tough stage. Enjoy your grocery shopping alone! (I love the “but why?”)
love all the pics~ so fun you guys did this to celebrate your dad’s retirement. huge milestone, for sure! congrats to him.
you look amazing. so pretty, my friend.
hope you had a great trip to the grocery, and got that starbucks too!

you know you’re a mom when a trip the grocery store all by yourself feels like a mini vacation.
reese doesn’t ask, “why?” yet.. she just stands and yells, “mama, OUT!”

Those pictures are so lovely! Makes me want to take a long walk.
Enjoy the grocery shopping! It’s amazing what a difference just being able to have a moment alone can do. Love the littles so much but concentrating on one task at a time is wonderful!
i read a quote somewhere…probably pinterest… something about knowing you’re a mom when going on a vacation feels like work. and going to target alone feels like vacation! so i’m hearing ya girl! ENJOY that coffee treat and alone time!
the pics you have are always fun and lovely. so happy for your dad and this celebration to honor him. that inn looks awesome. and you too.
have a great week.
