Celebrating the Nuances of Family
"Julie, come here. See what I drew of our family."
My heart quickens.
Our family.
On the patio I see...
Six blue hearts
Sketched in blue chalk
By six year-old hands
One for Autumn
One for Destiny
One for Annie
One for Zach
One for Keith
One for Julie
Our family.
In one short week, our family now means something new.
Today I celebrate quiet time (and not so quiet time) with ALL of my kids and ALL of the puppies on this long Labor Day weekend as we settle into a cozy cabin in Pennsylvania.
Thank you to Ruth Ayres for providing this space of celebration. Visit her site to read about other celebrations.
This is beyond beautiful. You are amazing and thank you so much for sharing little glimpses into this experience for us here.
ReplyDeleteYou have really accomplished a lot of loving in a short period of time. Please continue to share your family's growth.
ReplyDeleteOh, just lovely to hear, Julie. Have a marvelous weekend with the "family"!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about the six hearts on the deck, but had to back up to find last week's post to understand. Julie, you are brave and compassionate! Those girls are so lucky. Blessings that you'll enjoy your cozy holiday time together and prayers as you move forward with faith for this new opportunity.
ReplyDeleteJulie,
