Do you have lots of handmade things in your home? I was walking out of Laelia’s room recently and it dawned on me that almost everything around me had been handmade by someone we love and who apparently loves us too. These things are such a wonderful reminder of those special people—people who live close by and far away, but who we hold so dear in our hearts. I can honestly say that every time I look at one of those items I think of that special person who made it. It’s so funny that even in such a small moment of passing by or picking up something my thoughts of that person are triggered. What a blessing! So thank you to all who have graced our home with your love. You are truly special to our family and I’m so happy that you dance across our minds so often.

















And, I don’t think this is even the half of it. We are so blessed!
