10 On 10: September 2014

13 years ago today was an indescribable tragedy.

I will never forget when I heard the news.

I remember exactly where I was.

I can't help but think about all the families who were directly affected by this catastrophic event. 

I can't imagine the pain they still feel.

This morning as I sit and look through my 10 on 10 pictures I took yesterday,

I am feeling an extra dose of thankfulness 
that I get to experience the little joys in the every day.

Each day is a gift.

I am reminded how blessed I am to experience all these little moments with my family.

Early morning prep in our classroom.

I love turning on all our lamps- makes our room feel so cozy.

Baking breakfast muffins.

Sometimes I like letting my girls wake up to the sounds and smells of a yummy breakfast.

First fire of the season

Thankful I get to start each morning in the word of God 

with my girls.

Maggie was struggling with writing the number 3.
Then we got a serious case of the giggles.

Gathering from our garden before the  first frost.

Picking our last bouquet of the season.

I know this is grainy and blurry.
Oh but if you could have heard the giggles  . . .
Thankful for late afternoon dance parties.

I am so blessed.
I am so thankful.

I hope you get a chance to thank the Lord 
for all the little gifts this day brings.
