up and up

10 days later and missy moo's bruises are nearly all but gone.

and much thanks to some darling bangs, the black and blue (and yellow) stayed well hidden for the most part.

hooray to small victories

:)

so yes, things are on the up and up.. in general.

and it feels pretty nice.

yes,

i still am running around like a crazy person,

and yes, minie escapes from bed every night with her new found independence found in the big girl bed.

poppy still crawls and destroys around like a little gremlin.

the house still remains untidy, and a tad ragged around the edges.

photography is busy as ever, and i am still behind as ever..

dustin even started working saturdays.

but despite all of that crazy, life still feels up.

and i am grateful.

grateful for this season,

grateful for my family,

grateful for our so far good health.

grateful for the gospel.

grateful for therapeutic target runs.

yummy home cooked meals.

and most grateful for feeling hopeful.

hopeful and faithful that this feeling will stay.

and it's even 1:57 AM.

:)

hope this post spreads a little of the love.

xo,

brooke
