little nathan enoch arrived this week....or i should say big nathan enoch arrived. all 12 pounds 6 oz. of him. unbelieveable! tonya was amazing, as was jared and as was the midwife. she delivered at the midwife's home without any medication. as a woman who delivered 5 babies naturally i am still in awe of anyone who delivers a 12 lb baby WITHOUT DRUGS!! his chubby cheeks are to die for...and he is just the sweetest baby. this is definitely my gratitude of the week. many prayers were answered on this one!
it's another spectacular fall. last week i drove up to revel in this beauty and realized it is definitely one of my happy places. i feel so whole when i'm around this spectacular beauty. the yellows were dazzling. the oranges and reds were out but not completely...but the yellows were on fire with their brightness. it made me realize i have not expressed my gratitude as often as i should. i think that one of the things i loved about taking a picture a day last year, was that i was daily expressing gratitude which made my joy multiply. so i decided to resolve to at least blog once a week on some of the things i am grateful for. so here's just a few drops in my bucket of blessings:
*getting to have a grandma sleepover with bekah. we painted princesses, painted her nails,
snuggled up to watch rio and had waffles with (just picked) raspberries and bananas. she
is my first grandchild and has such a deep special place in my heart.
*listening to conference and hearing the answer to something that i had specifically prayed
for. why am i surprised...the Lord is always soooo good to me.
*hot tubing with a friend one evening who is such a good listener. she will listen to all my
endless school stories and never even seem tired of them. she blesses my life endlessly...
and the jets did wonders on my neck.
*dinner with my daughters and daughter in laws during the priesthood session...a semi-annual
tradition we have that i just love. can't wait for our TOFW weekend all together.
so there are just a few of the drops that make my life so good. i'm a blessed woman for sure.
