the thankful mom

Happiness is....

....spending the weekend with Aunt Reagan.

Getting to show her one of our favorite new places?
Double happiness. :)

"Wading" quickly turned into "accidently falling in." Oops.
No worries~ it was calf-deep water.

I was not at all prepared for the wetness. Apparently I underestimated the pull that a lake full of water would have on three little boys.

Thankful for airdrying and sunshine. :)

There's a lot of attitude in that little 3-year-old body.

This look makes me smile.

Brian set up three fishing poles for him and the boys.

I love watching him fish.

He's totally in his element, relaxed, at peace....makes my heart happy.

He caught this one almost by accident. Saw the pole jerk when it was sitting against the fence. Thankful he caught his pole before it was launched into the water and ended up with this catfish.

Do you think the boys are crazy about their Aunt Reagan?

They really are.

They love her so very much, and they know she loves them too.

This sister thinks she's amazing too. :)

So thankful for her and the friendship we share.

We had such a great time together.

I loved getting to show her where we live, places we shop, my walking route, our church, etc.

Thankful for her and the weekend we shared.
