That’s how I feel. Not loving my circumstances, but feeling content with my life and what I have. We’ve had a great week- ups and downs to be sure, but I feel like the Lord has opened my eyes to how precious my life is, especially my little family here. I have so enjoyed each moment with the kids this week- and have been intentional about it, to be honest. At the end of each day, I am worn out in every way, but Josh and I keep saying to each other, “I like our little family.” 
I just bathed both kids- I have never seen Luke splash so much- I was drenched and loving it. It’s fun to see his little plump hands slap at the water. While his bath was all movements and grunts, Rebekah’s was all convo. That’s par for the course for us! I just tucked them both in and sighed contentedly to myself before I found my piece of cheesecake I have been looking forward to since we bought it last night at the culmination of date night, but were too full to eat.
So, content is the word for the day for me!
I just spent some time catching up the last several blog entries. I think it is so great that you take pictures and notes of everything! Seriously, it is so fun to read, and one day you will look back on these and be so thankful that you did.
*hugs*
Also, I can’t believe that Luke is eight months! Very, very sweet!
So thankful that you are feeling content today my friend.
It brings me GREAT joy to read this blog entry friend!
It has been my prayer that you would find contentment in your circumstances. Thank you Lord! Em you are a joy to me.
