Blessings from Above

Today was beautiful and despite the sick infested home we have Ezekiel and I were able to enjoy it. Ezekiel loves the outdoors and nothing makes him happier than wandering around the backyard discovering. Today we enjoyed the beautiful Southern California weather that God sent our way by having a picnic lunch. Nothing too extravagant, just Ezekiel and I, a blanket, blueberries (Ezekiel's favorite snack), and the 80 degree weather.

Yes we enjoyed the day despite my fever, Ezekiel's pink eye, and the looming ear infection Ezekiel is being treated for. It seems this short month of February has provided us with many doctor visits, long hours of breathing treatments, and round two of antibiotics. But yes sickness can be a blessing from above. All you have to do is ask Ezekiel how he liked having the rule of the house because mommy was struggling to function.

Yesterday also provided us with many God sent moments. The first of these was when Ezekiel decided his crackers needed to be free from the baggy and a better place would be the floor where he could smash them, push them under the carpet and just easily eat one when he was hungry.

Next he decided to be a helper when mommy was sweeping. He LOVES to sweep, vacuum, swiffer, and pretty much anything that he can push around. When ever he gets the urge to help I tell him to grab the little broom. As you can see, his idea of help is sweeping the pile in all directions and when done walking through what is left as many times as he can. I am just excited that he longs to help.


Last of all Ezekiel does our weeding. It is great!!! He pulls out the stray vines that grow from the other side of the fence and puts them into Daddy's barbecue starter. Of course, after all that work Ezekiel likes to just relax in the shade with his ball. Just thought you might enjoy these special moment we get to share with Ezekiel everyday.

Today we also got to welcome a new friend- Kensington Jane. Our good friends had their first child today, a little girl. We can't wait to meet her!!! Thanks God for all your blessings, big and small. We never understand why you love and care for us some much, but today we choose to say thanks!!!
