a birthday {friday} favorites

time keeps on slippin'
slippin'
slippin'

friday favorite things | finding joy

into the future...
{where does it go? it's too fast}

to start my list today I must begin by stating
Happy Birthday to my Hannah
{who blogs over at Aspire}

many many years ago she was teeny
{like in this sweet real film photo} 

{baby hanni}

and then as time slipped on she grew
and grew

{9 years}

{so make sure to hug those little ones as they do grow}

until now, 15 years later, this is her

{with her grandpa}

love you Hannah 
 you're a fave.


Birthdays are a favorite
even though the joke is that she's now halfway to 30
{which, by the way, is not old}

silly web cam photos of us are another favorite

 like these on the night before her birthday 
 during our 10:49 game of Blokus
 while I wrote these favorites
 {it's my turn, I'm green}
writing and playing means getting blocked
 
oh well, it was worth the laughs. :)
{these are linked with momma in focus}

web cam + family game+birthday eve = favorite

more favorites?

besides my growing marigolds?


how about this?
Samuel's biopsy report came back clear


his small intestine has healed
and his protein levels are higher
and he's absorbing nutrients
and vitamins
and fats.

He was "officially" diagnosed with 
Celiac Disease

even though it's hard
it's an answer to prayers to know
as he'd been sick for months and months and months

and now look at him


thank you Jesus
thank you.
