Mmmmm, just look at this beautiful springtime bouquet Benny sent me for our anniversary. My house has smelled so wonderful all week! If you're lucky enough to have a scratch n' sniff monitor, go ahead: get close and inhale!!*It is gorgeousness such as this, and what it does for the spirit, that proves we were originally meant for the garden. I can only imagine what Eden must have been like. Imagine God walking with you in the cool of the day, chatting about whatever is on your mind! (If you've never read Milton's Paradise Lost, may I suggest you go read it right now?)
And speaking of our anniversary, just look what my wonderful kids cooked up for us:
Besides a DELICIOUS dinner, which Emily literally cooked up for us, they bent their heads together and honored us with this beautiful family tree. The very talented Chris Saldanha did the artwork, with input from all. It's amazing, isn't it? (Any wonkishness in the picture is due to my photoshopping attempts to remove the flash. Crappy photographer, crappy editor. What can I say?) It looks stunning on my mantel, and every time I walk into the living room, it is a reminder of God's tremendous hand of blessing on my little family. It's perfect.
You know what else is perfect? The fact that Miss Eisley, on the very night we celebrated 35 years, decided then and there to crawl for the first time. Very thoughtful of the little lady!
*Editor's note: There is no such thing as a scratch n' sniff monitor. Don't you wish, though?
