Our Anchor⚓❤

Father's Day is always a special time during the summer. A day we get to spoil my hubby, not that we don't everyday, but on Father's Day he gets a little extra kisses and hugs! I'm very blessed to have such a great husband, but I tell ya seeing him with our boys and everything he does for them is how I know just how blessed I really am! Brenton is a great provider, he's fun, he's involved and our boys absolutely adore him! I couldn't do this life that God blessed us with without him, I do know that! Where I'm weak, he's strong and together parenting is something we are conquering together. Not everyone understands our life, not that they need to, but we stopped explaining a long time ago on things and honestly, just hunkered down on our little family of four and our fur baby, too. We do exactly what we want to and learned to not care what anyone thinks about it! Autism, is what we can thank for that, too. It has a way to slow you down, to show you what's important and to help you keep priorities straight. It's not easy, but I'm truly grateful for a partner who gets  the emotional rollercoaster that comes along with it. Colin, has given us the ability to focus solely on what happens between our 4 walls of our home and allow only things that fit our energy to be part of our journey. Life has gotten simple, by the understanding of what our priorities are in life and focusing on what is important! Brenton is the anchor to all this for us! He is willing and able to stand up for us and our need to keep the energy in a positive light! I've seen him changing and shifting, over the past several years, and I'm truly grateful for it! God has given us so much and together we can move the mountains, so to speak! This past weekend we got to celebrate Brenton and all he is to us by showering him with love, gifts, food, and time together. I loved everything about it! We got a lot done! It was a very productive weekend to say the least, but a good one! 

 

Our own father's are of equal importance in our lives and it was great to get to visit with them to celebrate Father's Day, as well! Our boys love their grandpa's so much! I absolutely adore watching them making memories with our dads. It warms my heart! I feel it's so important in a child's life to have the love of their grandparents and I'm so thankful our boys have great ones! 

Life Continues

The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy! It still feels like we're living a real life Groundhog Day. COVID-19 continues to be alive & strong in the world, face masks seem to be the new fashion trend, and in the mist of dealing w/that we've seen another injustise that has created protests all over the world, as well. Complete insanity! I had to stop watching the news even. Not that I don't care, but I can't live in all this negative. I pray daily things will heal and that soon, this too shall pass! It's crazy, but being able to escape it here in our little town has been a blessing! 

Here at our house, in little ol'Gnaden, we're taking it all in and continuing to live our lives through faith. It's a strange world we are living in, but in our little part of it we're remaining sane, being respectful towards others, and just enjoying our lives! The boys finished school here at home, got everything returned back to the buildings, we celebrated Mother's Day, had a graduation parade for my niece, started guitar lessons, swimming when we can, grilling out, spending time on the golf course, jumping on the trampoline, making memories with family, visiting with friends, watching UFC fights, starting a new home project, and simply just embracing this moment in time we have together the best way we know how....praying for peace in the world and living in love!✌❤
