- For Dani’s mobility which has ramped up in the last couple of days. She is actually running now!
- For the great care Mike’s mom is receiving at the nursing home she was moved to in April.
- For the great time the girls and I had in Houston last weekend.
- For the cool tour of Blue Bell Creamery factory.
Just hanging out in July
This post is photos from the 3rd week of July. Dani spent most of the time crawling around and exploring the house again now that we were home again and she was free!
Our friends the Petermans mailed this little cutie to Dani. It came in the mail just like this with stamps on the side. How adorable is that?
Playing and laughing with Daddy.
The Quebe Sisters Concert
In mid-July we went to see the Quebe Sisters Band in concert. We first met them years ago at church and Nadia has loved them since she was 2 years old. We have joked that she is a Quebe Sister groupie, but I will take that over ANY of the popular bands and singers for kids. They are really wonderful women and it’s been a blessing to know them over the years. Last October Mike and I went to see them play at The Live Oak in Fort Worth and we had such a great time. I told several people that I just felt HAPPY when I left their concert. Nadia really wanted to go, but we told her it was too late for her to be out and about. I told her that the next time they played in our area we would go.
They played with The Purple Hulls who are now regularly on tour with them. The sisters who are The Purple Hulls played an original song called, “No power in the Water” and our entire family loved it. We bought the CD afterwards and I can safely say that in the last month we have listened to it in the car and at home at least 75 times. The girls know all the words to all the songs and even Dani sings them in her 2 year old way now. I highly recommend you check them and the Quebe Sisters out if you like Bluegrass and/or Gospel.
We have this photo on our fridge now and both big girls have a copy on their dressers 🙂
Thankful Thursday
- I am thankful for my friends and family responding to a Facebook post about the Union Gospel Mission. Look at all the items I was able to buy for their back to school needs. I almost started crying when the cashier asked me what it was all for.
- I wanted to do this because I just can’t imagine what it must be like to be living in a homeless shelter and have the added worry of back-to-school needs for your children.
- I am thankful to God that we don’t ever have to worry where our kids clothes/food/toys or anything else are going to come from.
