Thanking God for...

What a privilege we had last week Friday when my cousin Ashley stopped in the area to see us for a couple hours. It was a pretty low-key afternoon with a small sweat-away-the-pounds, wood tick hopping hike, gatorade run, picnic lunch, game of "Sorry," and a great visit. Thank you God for being able to facilitate more drop-ins!
This week, we are thanking God for new shoes. Why not, He is the giver of all things! Madison was able to pick out a new pair of school shoes (size 4 already...I'm already struggling with sharing everything with them...Derrick, my kitchen, my bathroom, my favorite foods...before long I'll be sharing my shoes!) Meanwhile, Breanne scored a great deal on her first pair of Chacos. (Yes, she finally spent some of her moldy money but not before giving Madison a ten-dollar bill because, "I have so much money and Madi really doesn't.") It just happened that the on-line ordered Chacos arrived the same day Madi picked out her shoes. We celebrated by modeling and Aliya inaugurated the shoes by trying them on her little Toddler size 11s. Hey, nobody ever said this DeWilde family has little feet!
