Stop. Collaborate and Listen . . .

Just checking in to say that I won't be blogging this week . . . Grace and I will be out at Birch Bay with all the girls from Tom's family during the week and on Thursday we're off to Penticton with the Jones Clan. Stories from last year at Penticton are now infamous and phrases such as "bungholio" and "macaroni up your a**" were coined. Who knows what this year will bring?

Grace and I were "showered" one last time today . . . my cousin Alison and Aunts Tammy and Pam threw a spectacularly perfect shower for us. We are so incredibly lucky to be loved by so many people. Four showers later and gifts too numerous to count from people who have stopped by, my parents friends, people from church, etc. and Grace is one spoiled kiddo!

And . . . my new favorite picture of Grace . . . taken on Grandma's couch after church this morning.

Every day I pray for her to grow in faith and grace and love and mercy . . . into the person that God created her to be.
