Started out this morning taking family portraits for a couple from our church who just adopted three daughters from Haiti. It was really cool to be able to take the first portraits of their new family!
Had a great lunch with Lauri, my mentor, who is incredibly encouraging and challenging. I always learn so much from her wisdom.
Came home and enjoyed an afternoon/evening with my family. Talking, laughing, dreaming, mowing (normally not so exciting, but we finally got a new lawnmower last night to replace the other that broke), packing, eating, playing and more. It was really nice. I love Texas in the spring. It feels so awesome outside!
Found a snail on the swingset. That was good for nearly half an hours worth of entertainment.
Aaron was chef tonight and made the most delicious filet mignon. Wow. That is all that I can say. We came across a great deal at Costco and it was the best, most tender steak I have ever had. Mmmm... As he was cooking, we realized that the hand mixer had been packed already and he needed to whip the potatoes. What is it that they always say about necessity being the mother of invention?
Tonight as we sat around the table, Aaron closed with a prayer. "Thank you, Jesus, that on this day so many years ago, as you suffered, you were thinking about us."
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for your love for us, your sacrifice, and your constant presence in our lives. We love you.
Aaron's face in that picture is priceless...it says "YES", "I used power tools to mash potatoes!" I went to La Cantera yesterday, and I kept thinking..."This is a beautiful place to meet up with a friend". My friend, I am looking forward to meeting up with you there :).
