waffle face.

today was a really good day. and i feel my summer is flying by!

this morning, i made a vow that it was going to be a good day.

so this morning, ava started cutting holes in her pancakes and looking out through them.

so i thought 'we need a picture!'

and i remembered that i can use my phone self-time...score!

needless to say...we spend a while taking pics.

someone would eat their items {thinking we were done}, and i would make more for more pics.

we went through lots of pancakes and waffles.  but we ate every last one--no wasting here. and it was totally worth it.

{first with our pancakes}

{now waffles. i think we all look a bit like spiderman...see the resemblance?}

i txted stacy the pic of us three, and she loved it!

she even showed it to her outpatient today when she received it.

they are such a blessing and i will miss them so so much.

my time with them is dwindling down. let's not think about it, mkay?

my bestie rachel left for africa today!

she called from the airport and i had the kids say goodbye.

and all day long they kept playing with animals saying they were from africa. {and ryan even was going around pretending he was from africa.}

how adorable is that!

and she told me she PASSED her NCLEX!  how awesome is that?!

i couldn't be more proud!

i know i'll be praying for safety for her team, for them to do amazing work for the kingdom, and for God to show Himself to her in ways she could never imagine! 

i know i can't wait to hear all about her trip when she returns :].

{although i will just be getting on my vaca so i'm hoping to be able to have a bit of time to chat with her.}

tomorrow means we're half way through the week already.

now, that's a good feeling!
