Where are we?

"Papa, please tell us where we are."

Such good pondering for my heart today. 
Where am I in this journey of life? 
At the beginning, the middle or the end?
None of us know for sure.

What really matters is that I'm close to Him.
The One who lends us strength,
The One who walks beside us through every valley, every plain, & every mountain experience.

What really matters is that I'm following the one who knows the way.
The way that leads to life.
The way that leads us home.

What really matters is that I'm safe to follow.

Happy Birthday to the twins

 Happy Birthday Emma & Jaxon!  So fun to get to celebrate with Denio cousins.  It was a fun party with lots of Mickey Mouse ears & treats.  I loved watching them tasting their smash cakes & taking in everything. 

 

Free!

In April we enjoyed a few 'free' games.  Ironically we got wet both times.  Rain & more rain!  It was fun to take the boys to our first UT Orange & White Scrimmage game.  Benjamin scored us free baseball tickets to see the Round Rock Express because of reading 10+ Bluebonnet books this year.  Yay! 

Fun & wet times.

Bluebonnets 2016

We love to watch for the first signs of bluebonnnets popping up.  I'm not sure who found the first bloom but we loved the sightings along the freeway, country roads, & front yards.  We've had a lot of rain too - so some of the beautiful fields that we saw last year were flooded this year. 

Thankful that Spring has arrived bringing with it...blooms, new life to the trees & grasses.

So I'm thinking about these words today:  Bloom where you are planted!
