fabulous weekend

i wanted to share that we had a wonderful weekend.
friday mason came home from school to his brand new playground and was sooo excited! we spent the afternoon outside playing on it and on the slip & slide.
yesterday we had the honor and pleasure of hosting a suprise bday party for our friend sarah levit. it was her closest friends celebrating what a beautiful special woman she is. the kids ran around and played like wild things.
today we went to see mimi for lunch and after we all had a nap, and the astros lost in a very upsetting way to the phillies, we went to the neighborhood pool. it was a blast, it was stephens first swim and he loved it. he kicked and splashed and enjoyed watching the other kids do the same. it was masons first trip to the pool since his swim lessons began, he started out very timid but really got into it for awhile.
i'm grateful for my life today, my ability to love, my sobriety - and most of all that i know that it is not any of my doing at all, but through the grace of God.
