blue orchids & baby food

Aren't they perdy? The stunning color of blue sitting on the kitchen table distracts me for a few seconds from the world around. They're such a lovely shade of blue. I'm thankful for these flowers that bring a pause in my spirit from the busyness around....and for the thoughtful husband that gave them to me.

As I fixed John's dinner this afternoon I was reminded of the joy of being a mother. After struggling with infertility, I am abundantly thankful for the gift of my son. Mushing bananas has a whole new meaning....I'm thankful for a baby to mush them up for:)
