Chase

Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 224:  Today, I am grateful for Chase!

We celebrated Chase on Sunday!  August is always packed. Adult work schedules are kind of like a Tetris game. Together is my favorite place to be. The gift of another trip around the sun is not something to take for granted. 

Chase's favorite person, Emma, always brings out the best smiles. I love it! We love watching them talk, love, and laugh together. 

He is the child that turned us from a couple to a family. We have loved watching him think from the time he could talk, he asked questions far bigger than we could answer at times. He loves taking in the world around him. 

He was... and still is... the best of big brothers. I love hearing them discuss techy things that are beyond my skills and understanding. With over five years between them in age, he always listened to Walker's questions and treated him as an equal... and not just a little brother.  

I will always sweetly remember the days of having them under our roof. Children at home are the best of days, but adult children are such a gift, too.        

"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him." -Psalm 127:3 

We are grateful for the gift.    

Today, we are grateful for Chase!
