One Thousand Gifts

 We had a long, but wonderful week.

Taking daily photos (or trying to!) not only makes me find things to be thankful for, but also helps me see what I need to work on with taking photographs.

Such as limb chopping:

Where's Ty Baby's hand? :)

 Here Bradley and I are getting everything ready to color the Easter eggs.

 One day Bradley found a one-winged fly crawling around outside.

 Ty Baby loves playing with Brad in Brad's room.

For this photo I should have composed it better and moved that potty (I need to move it permanently- we shouldn't be letting Brad still use it:), and stuffed animal from the background.

 I'm thankful that I painted my toes quick one day(this was another day, not the same day- they were already chipped) when Brad and I were outside during Tyler's nap.

I don't do that often enough.

 For my last photo, I'm thankful that Brad has a big imagination and loves to constantly dress up and change his clothes.

This is his most favorite outfit (for now): 

His "best" (vest- underneath the shirt),

his "green shirt," and "fall down pants." 

I bought those pants at a consignment sale, they are size 6 for when he is older but he insists on wearing them at home.

Also, I wish I got his feet in this picture. I need to remember not to limb-chop in photos. :)

I'm definitely feeling thankful for my family right now. David and I are celebrating 7 years, we just had Tyler's first Easter, and it was fun for Brad this year finding eggs, I was reminded not to take life for granted. 
A woman I played sports with in high school, is now a widow and has to raise her two precious young children on her own. 
Her husband died at the very young age of 27.
It was a shock so if you are reading this can you please pray for Lissy and her young daughter and son. 
We don't know how long we have on this earth, it is good to remember that God is in control, and to cast all our anxiety and cares on Him.
 That's what I have to keep reminding myself anyway.

Also, I keep forgetting to link to Ann Voskamp in these One Thousand Gift posts, so here is her button:
