Five on Friday!!

It has been a FULL week and I'm exhausted. While next week will prove to be just as busy despite the fact that school is out for the summer, I'm choosing to focus on this week and remain grateful that I survived the chaos. Find out how I and others have spent the last week by checking out Five on Friday!

I have to begin this week's five with the best thing ever!!! My friend Sarah (you can check out her special blog at Taber Family Travels) gave birth to her long awaited rainbow baby this past Friday (23rd). It has been my honor to pray her through this pregnancy. She and I met through an infertility support group and have been connected through our journeys ever since. It is with great joy that I present to you Caleb Isaac. He is absolutely perfect! Praise God for this miracle. Congrats Sarah!

The next best thing (granted I don't think you can ever really top the birth of a baby) is that today marks the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! This means more time with my little girl...and for a brief time no grading papers. Lesson plans and other items for next year will be worked on throughout the summer, but I like the idea of not having deadlines.

Happy (Belated) Memorial Day!

G and I spent the holiday at home. We enjoyed the sunshine, some rest and some wonderful quality time. I just can't get enough of her!

I also made some goodies to send to my hubby's fire department. These tasty treats are so simple!

The weather has been much more summer like lately...and with it comes a lot of fun things to look forward to. I finally put together our Summer Chalkboard Printable and it is now on display.
