Sometimes I scramble for things to write about, if I’m being honest. Not right now! While I thoroughly enjoyed doing the mini series on the kids over the last five days, I actually had some important things to write about! So, today I’ll be catching you up in the form of a post about three things I am thankful for.
I am thankful for our tire shop! They never cease to amaze me! Our entire family had to come in for the appointment to get our winter tires on, as we had other errands to run that day, plus evening plans back into the city. Rather than driving in three times, we all went in for our tire appointment, saving ourselves one of those trips. We’re never made to feel a nuisance when we bring the kids, which is so so nice.
We sort of overtook the waiting room, ate some breakfast, and played for an hour or so. It was cute. The kids were pretty patient, which helped. It was pretty smooth!
(To fill in the gaps, for my own record, we also got Wavy her shots that day…
and we saw Footloose in the evening with this fun crew!) SUCH a loaded, memorable day!
I am thankful for our awesome church family! We led music at church on Sunday, and when Brady and I left our bench, Solly instantly broke down. Daddyyyyyyyy!!! We watched as a handful of people flocked our bench and consoled Solly. A loving friend opted to sit with us for the rest of the service, so Solly wouldn’t be nervous of a new person, which was so lovely. And it worked! He cried again the last time we went up, but quieted very quickly. There also was no shortage of arms reaching out to hold Waverly. I LOVE the support and love for our family! We love to lead worship, and we feel its where we’re supposed to be contributing to our church, but facing the facts, we cannot do it without help. Its SO special to know we have that willing help!
I am thankful for our rental van. *sigh* This one feels like more of an effort. I am SO thankful to have a vehicle while our bus is in for damage repairs but MY GOODNESS! A minivan is NOT ideal for a family my size! We have a brand new Dodge caravan currently. Its leather, has seat warmers, and automatic doors. ALL things we’d LOVE to have in our bus but don’t, and thats ok. But my goodness. That thing is not meant for five car seats, three of which are pushed SO close together, side by side, in the back. Also, good thing we bought diapers and wipes recently because we couldn’t do a full, big Costco shop with this thing anymore! Just this week, guys. Thats all we have to handle. But still, I’m SO thankful not to be just without a vehicle at all. What a relief!
That pretty much catches you up on our last few days. Nothing too crazy, but lots of good š And lots more to come! I have some company coming over the next day or two, and then I’m actually away this weekend! Brady agreed to do a couple of posts, so you can anticipate those! One of them for sure I’ve been bugging him to write for a while, so I’m pretty excited to read what he comes up with. But you’re still stuck with me for a while š As if you haven’t already been for so, so long, haha!
