What a team!!!

My heart (and house and backyard, ha!) were overflowing tonight 

as Enoch held a Season FIVE Kickoff Cookout!!

May the Lord fill these three with this measure of joy tomorrow as they lead orientation.

“Ms. Lauren, can I sit with you?” 

Yes, every time yes. Because little doesn’t keep.

 

08.16.25

Spur of the moment babysitting gig was a big win for this Nana! 

Especially when this sweet six month old fell asleep on me ♡

Getting to work alongside my dear friend was such a fun way to spend some of a Friday!

Then sweet Kay sent me home with a beautiful, thoughtful gift for my heart too ♥

My friend Natalie (age nearly 5) and I were both put on notice that we’d best behave this morning.

We followed MG’s pals’ lead and did! We sang and took notes, 

and only talked when it was very, very important. 

“Jesus loves you. And I do too” ♥

2 Corinthians 12:9

 

08.04.25

Seeing things for the first time through Charlotte’s eyes is magical!

 

08.03.25

Sundays with these people are my favorite ♡

Today we read about Jacob’s dream 

and how he saw the angels going up and down the “very gateway to heaven”.

Which led to many of them telling me what else is in the sky besides angels…

Clouds~Rain~The Moon~Angels (again)~Snow~Jesus

Hulk and Spider-Man (!!)

Then we did a coloring page with this good reminder:

“The LORD told Jacob, “I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go.” Genesis 28:15

I wonder what they’ll  remember most?

This good promise or the Hulk and Spider-Man in the sky thing…

 

08.02.25

Somebody sure does love her Papa!!

They’re the cutest together ♡

 

08.01.25

Thankful for two surprise Joys with sweet friends today!

A happy little find on Rachel’s and my walk, which was itself a gift now that her school year has begun.

And yay for birthday celebrating with new *interesting* drinks, over extended fellowship with Kay!!
