On My Mind

this has been a crazy week filled with many ups & downs!

and i'm glad for the weekend!

monday we started christmas shopping ~ we are only lacking jammer bottoms for the boys

tuesday was a wonderful day for the boys and i'm extremely thankful! ~ it was the day jacob came home & said "today, ben & i are going to play without any fighting or arguing." i was skeptical but pleasantly surprised!

wednesday jacob lost his second tooth, ben had his christmas program at preschool

thursday jacob had a field trip to the new art museum

friday we went to downtown roanoke with friends

friday we also heard the sad news about papaw & memaw's nestley. ~ their sweet 15 year old

chocolate lab died yesterday morning. we will be telling the boys today and would love your prayers for the grandchildren as well as for memaw & papaw. we decided last night was not the time to tell them as they were already drained & tired from the week and from the evening.

look at the pure joy in little 2 year old jacob's face!

i'm also thankful that in the last year ben too has warmed up to her & loves nestley.

earlier this week i heard jacob tell our roxie that she is his 2nd favorite dog.

nestley ranks high with jacob!

ben's teacher's 17 year old son is in the hospital for dehydration & elevated enzymes

little connor man is also in the hospital for breathing issues

so there's a glimpse of the variety of things i have on my mind! i am thrilled for the weekend and in jacob's words "all the family movie nights we can have because we're on break"!

popcorn, pizza, jammers, movies, cuddles, family

here we come!
