Blessings

At the gym this week, I listened to this talk about President Erying from October General Conference - Gratitude on the Sabbath Day. 
I love these words and I love this song:

Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your blessings;
See what God hath done. …

As I look back on this past week, there were hard times - the boys always take several weeks to adjust with Aaron leaves. I cried. They cried. But these blessings are what we'll remember the most of the week. 

Eli loves "reading" to the dog at the library during Paws to Read. We have stumbled upon it twice accidentally and both Eli and Austin get so excited when a friendly dog greets us when we aren't expecting it. 

 

The boys did SO great at the dentist this week. I was so proud. We said a prayer in the car before heading into the office that they would be BRAVE. And BRAVE they were! Kind of ironic that the dentist gave them tooth sucker for being great and not having cavities. 

   

Our koala crate came in the mail. The happiest mail day! The theme was rainbows. 

Aaron bought 8 bottles of A&W cream soda before he left. We finished one off after dinner this week. :)

   

Glitter snow. It was soooo beautiful!!

And on Thursday I took my little monkeys on an adventure to Monkey Business.

   

   

   

The Bensons had us over on Friday and then AGAIN on Saturday. They're the kindest and we love jumping on their toys and playing pie face.

   

   

 

 

Have the best week counting your blessings! :)
