Happy Friday friends! As usual, I am linking up with Andrea, Erika, & Narci to share my favorites from the week 🙂
Project 52, week 38
I somehow missed sharing these photos from earlier this month meeting up with my family for lunch one weekend while my husband was away for work!
On Wednesday our Corvette turned 50 years old so we celebrated by taking it out for ice cream 😉

My gratitude list with Julie for this month 🙂
1. We are so very thankful that we got to see our teeny (but growing!) baby boy this month!
2. I am incredibly grateful for a husband that took such good care of me while I had a cold!
3. I am thankful for the help in getting the last of our garden harvested & cleaned up a little bit.
4. While my husband did travel for work and was gone for 8 days, I am very grateful that travel is not a very regular part of his job because him being gone is HARD!
5. Always thankful for celebrating another year of marriage this month!

“Choose Joy”….ahhhh so inspiring and YES….and you look better and better Mama!! Can’t wait to hear what names you are considering 🙂
Yes, the Choose Joy one really spoke to me too! Thanks Holly 😉
Happy Friday pretty mama! Love watching your little boy grow from the outside. Hope the beagle boys are well. My dog “met” a skunk last Friday night – guess who dominated the meeting… Still a bit skunky here in the house and on her face. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks Laurie! OH NO about your dog getting into a scuff with a skunk last night…just about a year ago we had that run in with our dogs too, yikes! Enjoy your weekend 🙂
8 days is a long time for your husband to be gone! Mine is away now but it was only 2.5 days! And I hate when he travels!
Yes, it can be so tough! Even if he just comes home late one night I’m like AHHH NOOO lol!
Happy birthday to your Corvette! Such a perfect way to celebrate!!! So cool you got to feel baby boy move!!!! Have a great weekend!!
Thank you Shannon! It is very cool and a little weird feeling the movements lol
