Today was such a nice day. The kids were incredibly quiet in the morning and just when I thought Dennis was up to start his loud day, he came into our room and laid down with us and went back to sleep--- till 9 o'clock.
Heaven.
I can't remember the last time both John and I slept in that late.
And it will probably be our last for a very long time-- but that's okay. We enjoyed this unexpected gift.
And the whole day was just as nice too.
We went on a long walk.
We ate the most wonderful, yet simplest dessert.
Hot strawberry compote over ice-cream--- heavenly.

Adam is going to Mexico over Spring break. This will be his first mission trip away from home. He is working hard around the house to earn his way. I think it will be an amazing experience for him. Tomorrow, he attends his second informational meeting about the trip. I am so excited for him!

Rachel and Julia have been babysitting for families. And their clientele is growing. I can't believe my girls are growing up!

I love mornings when the kids allow me to sleep in!!!!!!
How lovely for you to have a sleep in. I can only hope that one day I will also receive such a gift. LOL
So happy for Adam to be able to go on a mission trip. Indeed, it will change him for life!! Here's to another great day!
Wonderful. It is so nice to have "nice days" once in a while, I think God gives us these little gifts. Life can be so busy and crazy. I am glad you all ejoyed simple pleasures!
Wow! 9am! We thought we'd gone to heaven with 8am today. Gotta love daylight savings time.
Sounds like a wonderful day! I got up with the first early riser at 7:40 (which was later than usual) and then got to go back to sleep from 8 to 10! I haven't gotten to do that in a long time so I was so thankful to my hubby for letting me sleep in now that Lily is more used to letting him do things for her! Owen actually slept in with me too today for the first time in months!! It was great.
I'm looking forward to hearing about Adam's trip. Maybe he can do a guest post afterward? :)
