Another week, just like that!

And it’s FRIDAY!!

Our dreamy week was dreamy!

Except for the flea infestation I discovered on both of our dogs on Wednesday morning – ahem.

I shared about that find on Instagram.

Thank you to each of you that reached out to us! Your tips will be used!

Operation ‘fleas-be-gone’ has been through its first stage.

Thanks to my hard working crew!

I know this pup is happy about that!

I am sure you all are thinking and hopefully praying about the upcoming election.

This was a very good post about that topic! Jill is such a good writer!

I have been really thankful lately for these school trays that I bought for this year.

I am sure you have noticed them in our “doing school” photos.

They are SO handy – and keep the sticky glue and colorful paint off of the school table!

They wash up so easily too.

I bought them here from Oriental Trading.

Speaking of crafty stuff, I haven’t been shopping for craft supplies in a while, but we did need some paints.

I grabbed these at Wal-Mart one day, and have been very happy with them except for how quickly we go through them!

I might need to look into a bigger size.

I just finished up “G” week with the littles this week, and we had a great FIAR book called The Gullywasher that all the kiddos participated in!

Sorry to keep throwing adoption posts at you, but, well, that is our world.

This one resonated with me SO much – cause God has been showing up and showing off here with our littles too.

Wasn’t that so well written??

And those two photos of Grace’s spine?! We have some miraculous films of our own of our Cheerful Young Warrior Mr. Tate – God is SO good!

Last, but not least, let me speak just a sec about blogging. I have to admit, when it comes to social media of any form, I came to it kicking and screaming just a bit. It was months of talking within our family, prayer, talking more, being encouraged to do so by Blake, and more prayer that made the decision to start this blog. I do not regret that decision one bit. You all are SUCH a blessing. A true blessing! The prayer support we have had through our adoptions and medical days, the new friends I have made all over the U.S. and even Australia (Hi, Georgina!)….it has just all been such a blessing. This week we have been blessed with getting to know some more new friends – and it just does. my. heart. so. good.

Thanks for reading.

You all are the best.
