Joyful things about the weekend...

If possible, I think I overuse the word "blessed" sometimes. Thought I'd mix it up a lil'...I checked, "joyful" is a synonym when blessed is defined as "happy"...I couldn't think of a better group of words to describe this past weekend.

Someone (me) forgot to put the camera card in and I didn't get pics of them all - here they are, some in "mental pictures"...

Getting a bee in our bonnet Friday evening and leaving while there was still "bright" in the sky...enjoyin' reachin' back to take John's hand every so often during my "are you still awake" checks...enjoyin' our Friday, get-home soundtrack.

Celebrating Corben's 3rd Birthday! Watching all the kids tumble, play & ultimately wear themselves out at the party. Cake and ice cream, obviously.

Hugs from Meemaw & Papaw


McDonald's for lunch - John getting his 1st Happy Meal. There might never have been a cooler toy than SPIDERMAN! Enjoyin' our cheeseburgers back at Nana & Pappaw's...

catching a "Sunday in the South" moment ~ eating ice cream sandwiches & dreamsicles
(only a moonpie could have completed it more)

Riding home to Raleigh, full hearted. A blessing to be with family, to celebrate birthdays and bank some moments to carry us over till we're all together again.
