Backyard Gratitude

This weather has been simply gorgeous- and there is much for which to be grateful! It is a joy to live with Josh's parents during this time of preparation for Uganda- an added bonus is their lovely backyard! It has also been fun to enter Caleb's imaginary world of Backyardigans (a TV show on Nick Jr)- which has made our backyard all the more magical! And I was able to spend some time on Sunday with some gorgeous women to shower a friend with love. We are blessed.

Backyardigans arriving in the mail today!
