Blessings

Our Family Home Evening topic tonight was gratitude, so I thought I would share a couple of the blessings that we are grateful for right now.

After over three years of marriage, we feel we have arrived.  Last week we got our first real kitchen table.  A family in our ward is being deployed to Japan and were selling this beautiful table for a great price.  They even delivered it to our house in their Suburban!

We have been eating off a small wrought iron patio table with only two chairs and using our piano bench and office chair for extra seating, so this really does feel like a luxury.

This picture gives you an idea of the size of the old table, although this was Nathan's second birthday last November and since then he has graduated to a booster while Hannah uses the high chair, making the seating arrangements even more tricky, particularly when we had company!

Our friends also gave us a kiddie pool.  We put it on our patio and the kids are having so much fun!

Hannah continues to love the water.  She has two adorable swimsuits this summer, I love clothes passed down from friends!

Jared decided to lure Jack into the pool with a bowl of food.  He wasn't too sure about the water, but being a dog, he'll do anything for food!
