Donnie and I had the opportunity this past Thursday evening to go to Friends University to listen to Dr. James Smith speak and my all time favorite singer Mark Schultz!!! That's why were there actually....I just love his music. For those of you that attended Donnie and I's wedding, we had one of his songs at our wedding (Time of My Life). Anyhow, it was a wonderful evening. Dr. Smith spoke about Spiritual Transformation and the new degree Friends hopes to offer in Fall 2010. I had never heard of him or read any of his books (he wrote the Apprentice Series) but he was a wonderful speaker and has the gift of speaking through telling stories. Mark sang several songs, also a wonderful and gifted story teller. As a result of that evening, I've been in a bit of a reflecting mood. We've had a few struggles the past few weeks and I have been a bit discouraged. God must've known I was in need of a good pick me up! :)
So, as I was reflecting on my life and our family. I just became overwhelmed at how blessed I am.
I just love this little guy so much I can hardly stand it.....
And this little guy.....how can you not love that face.... :)
I love that they will get to grow up together and hopefully be the best of buddies!
And this guy I love the most of all! (Really old pic!) Donnie and I just celebrated our 3rd anniversary a few weeks ago (planned on a post on that and maybe I'll still do it). I am so blessed to have him in my life! I love you honey!
And I can't forget these guys as our family isn't complete without them.....
Ah...I don't know about you, but that was refreshing for me. Good lookin bunch if you ask me! :)
My cup runneth over....

Made me choke up seeing those happy faces :) Great to read this post!!
Dannon, I'm currently sitting just feet away from you. You're blog made me tear up a bit. Thanks for posting. What a great reminder of how blessed we all are. It's been hard to come back to work and leave my little guy at home but life could certainly be a lot (LOT) worse...we know, we see it day after day. Thanks for the post.
I'm commenting back here too, to your comment on my blog so you be sure to see it :-D
Yeah, Gemma does the same thing with pics of food in books too, it's super cute. She gets so excited just like it's really. I soooooo LOVE her imagination. Just not sure what is up with the words of G-night Moon. CrAzY!
Oh, can't wait to hear more about your experiences with the babyfood. I'm really excited to make it again for this one, and already have some new ideas to help him/her become a good eater. Gemma is a great eater now, but boy it was rough for awhile. I really think a lot of it was teething. None-the-less...
Keep me posted!
Hey! Are you done reflecting yet...it't been 5 months!! :)
