as the weekend is winding down, i think of all the things i have to be thankful for ..... especially the gift of family! we hosted an engagement party for our niece and her fiance, matt, here at our house last night. i'm glad to say it went off without a hitch (atleast i thought so!) we probably had close to 30 people here to show their love and support of the union that will take place august 16th between carol and matt. his parents, who live in ohio, came in for the party and the evening was just complete! there wasn't much we could have done to make it better.
the highlight of the evening though came when everyone had left .... carol asked not only mattie and grace to be flower girls, but also asked me to be a bridesmaid. flattered, honored and teary eyed, i said, "of course i'll stand up for you"! ....... thank you carol! it means the world to me that you asked!
we said goodbye to everyone this morning and we have just been lounging around since. going non-stop since friday morning, it kind of feels good to still have my pj's on at noon!

father, thank you for the gift of family, as this weekend has been ALL about family..... from the precious child you blessed us with on friday, cohen william, to celebrating the two families that will be brought together on august 16th with carol and matt's unity. i pray blessings over them. as well, father, i pray blessings over bonnie, bo and cohen as they start life together as a family. shower them with your indescribable love! thank you ..... you are truly amazing!
