simple sundays

Our Sundays used to be very full days...church, friends, family time, getting ready for another week. Our Sundays now are very quiet days...most Sundays are spent hanging out, finishing up chores from Saturday and well simple.

This upcoming week on the calendar looks a bit normal if you will...UCLA is not written anywhere on the calendar for the week. This is our first week since February that we will not be at UCLA, at least that is the plan. We are hoping that the break between appointments will hold and Camryn will continue on the great track she's on.

This morning the kids played outside while we washed our cars, they so enjoyed it. Running, playing, chatting...these two certainly are the best of friends. They enjoy doing all sorts of things that get them into *trouble*...after playing outside it was bath time and line change time. Some days we do Camryn's line change in the evenings, but something on the weekends it's nice to do it in the morning...so the evenings don't feel so full and rushed. After bath time they have been going non-stop playing trains all over the house...they are playing in the living room, down the hall, in their rooms. I won't lie hearing their chattering all over the house is quite possibly the sweetest sound in the whole world!

Yesterday morning Jason and I spent some time together running errands, who knew simply running errands was such treasured time...we spent some precious time chatting in the car and through stores. Our lives have really altered throughout the years we've shared...the idea of the past four years and how things that we thought would be so simple, simply were not. It was a good time for us...sometimes I think we both assume that *all is well*, but the past has a way of creeping in and there are different timetables for our individual processing. I am ever so thankful for Jason and the rock he is for me.

Last night Jason and I headed over to the hospital to visit Rob and Devon...it was birthday dinner time for the twin brothers. We had a great time hanging out with them , chatting and just being together. Thank you for your prayers for Rob and Devon, please continue to pray for them...and for sweet baby girl she's almost 26 weeks! And we are hopeful for 28, 29 and many more!

So today is just a simple Sunday, not quite the days we used to have; but then again most days aren't like the days we used to have. We are thankful for today...

For the little faces that brighten our days, the sounds of running feet, the voices singing...for all of it.

For it is simple pleasures...that are grace filled moments.
