Our Friday...

My Friday has been a mixture of sadness and happiness.

This morning I attended a funeral for the father of one of I's former classmates.  He died from ALS.  He leaves behind a loving wife, and 2 young children.  While I did not know him, I love his wife.  She is such an amazing, compassionate, giving person.  I feel so badly that she has to go through this and yet I am amazed at her strength.  This also made me realize how dear my family is to me and how I need to treasure

every.

 moment.
with them!!!

And tonight, we spent some great family time together!

It was a great night for some homemade chili and cinnamon rolls.

Then we played games together and laughed a lot.

Next Eli got a much needed haircut and did wonderfully!  I think it helped that we "bribed" him with extra playtime tonight.  We said that if he didn't get his haircut tonight he would have to go to bed.  ha ha :-)  So now the kids are enjoying playing cars together.  I love nights and times like these!

Did I ever show you the almost free canvas I got from Canvas People?  I love it!

Hope you have a great weekend!  :-)
