Blessed

I have just put Grace and Jeffrey into bed. I am tired but feel so full of blessings right now. I just had to write about it! I was fortunate enough to have the Vaughan Four today. We had a very full and fun day. I never seem to have enough time with them for all I always plan to do.

We have been very blessed by our dear friends the Vaughan's. I still think the Lord sent them to our little area just for us. Many I know feel the same way. This family came into our lives on the first day of kindergarten and it wasn't long after that Grace and Ashton became best friends and Jeffrey and Dawson have been buddies since they were just babies.

They have seen us through the last months of Jeff's cancer. They were there to get Grace to and from Awana and school when I couldn't go anymore. Justin taking the time to come in and talk to Jeff when he wasn't right in his mind and the heart felt prayers he would say while praying with Jeff are special memories for me. Shauna's encouragement to me after Jeff's passing, The time that Shauna and Justin spent with Cassie, I could never thank them enough for. For being a second set of parents to my children, and Justin playing with the kids as he does his own.

I love this family so much. It's funny when I keep the kids they can't thank me enough and I can't thank them enough! I love each of them like my own. And, no matter how many you all are blessed with be they any color of the rainbow, I will love them too! Thank you Justin and Shauna for sharing your lives and love with us.

You are too kind and bring tears to my eyes. You have no idea how much that meant to me tonight - I will share with you tomorrow.

I knew God had big plans for us when we moved here and though I am sad about the hard times I rejoice in the exciting future for us ALL!hehe,wink,wink!
