WOW, what a week!

I started this blog a few days ago... but am just having a hard time being thankful, which is awful because I have soo much to be thankful for.  I find it easiest to share some of my thanks with some of my pictures over the last week... which was almost 2 weeks ago now.

I feel like I experienced 2 weeks in the last week... and not necessarily in a good way.  However, I know that God is still giving me gifts every day, and I will continue to count them in my attempt to live a life of thanksgiving!!  The May calendar print out does not seem to be working for me, so I may have to go back to the 7 gifts booklet that Ann Voskamp so graciously shared with us!! :)

579. little girls in pigtails
