A GRAND Day!

This Saturday was a much anticipated one for me and my crew, as we knew we would be spending the whole day watching Clyde, Ellie and River!

River was a late addition to the plan, as we debated on how a whole day would go without his Mama!

I am pleased to say the Lord answered my every prayer for this day!!

River did GREAT!

Especially after I showed him that the van his Mama and Daddy left with us did not actually have his Mama and Daddy inside of it anymore!

Smart little guy!

Always first on our Saturday agenda is a BIG breakfast with a BIG circle!

Big circle days are my JOY!

Then it was time to play!

First – upstairs!

We would line them up for diaper changes!

And then we played downstairs.

River took a great little nap too!

We also got to keep the grand pup.

She stayed outside all day and Sadie stayed in the garage all day.

She is not dirty!

That dirt is on the window, which I obviously need to clean!

Pretty soon we headed outside.

To our EMPTY driveway!!!

Everyone ate so good at lunch.

Then I put all five of the littles down for a nap.

Everyone went down for naps perfectly and slept SO long.

Answered prayers, remember!!

Pretty soon our reinforcements started arriving home!

My heart was SO full by the time Grant, Addie, and Chad took the babies home that night to tuck them in their own beds!

This crew helped me clean-up the house, and we deemed the day the BEST DAY EVER!

I just scrolled back through this post – good grief, there are a lot of blurry photos.

See why I like to take photos of sunrises and sunsets?

Those things hold still!

I am still very thankful to have these photos.

A precious moment in time!

You know, when Kayla was a teenager we would talk about days like this one I just wrote about.

We would dream about living close to each other and being very involved in each others lives!

We would pray about it together too!

Of course, we did not know for sure if the Lord would bring the desires of our hearts to fruition – but I am just RELISHING in the fact that HE DID.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE.

Thank you, Jesus, for letting us live out SO MANY of ours.

Saturday truly was the best day ever….but I know BETTER is yet to come!!
