Lovely Camille! The gratefulness is a good kind of contagious, isn't it? You have a view of the mountains from your home? !!!! How wonderful! I appreciate your posts, friend!
So glad you stopped by Susan! Your comment warmed my heart today ~ I'm thankful we are friends. :) Yes, on a clear day you can see mountains in the FAR distance...I always look for them...through the trees and wires to BEYOND! :)
Blessings,
Camille
Beautiful list full of life with children. I too join you with empty/full laundry baskets!
What a wonderful list of things in your life to be grateful for!
Jenny ~ LOL...it seems contradictory doesn't it? But it is the life of a Mum, don't you think? :)
Jenn ~ We all have so much to thank our dear Lord for, don't we? :)
Blessings,
Camille
Woohoo...It was so nice to see your face... a face to put the all the stories too :) To me, that's like a little gift in itself ...How did you like Banff? It's on our "to see" list...Did you and Emma go to High Tea at the Fairmont? #162 empty chocolate boxes...I have 1 box of mint frango's from Christmas I have yet to open...I'm afraid to open it...because I know I will eat the entire box :)
Mavis ~ You even make me smile here! ;-)
We LOVED Banff...you have never been??? Oh dear me...it is a MUST do for people in this area of the continent. While you are there you must go up the gondola to the sightseeing area. That's where we took many amazing pictures...like being on top of the world! It was so worth the $$.
We were also able to see Lake Louise ~ it is worth it to take the old road (I believe it is highway 1A) one direction from (or to) Banff ~ you see amazing wildlife! We even saw bears!!
One thing we did not do and wished we had time for, was to see the Columbia Ice Fields (you can walk on a glacier there). Apparently it is the largest glacier outside of the Poles!
When you do go try to take in all the main sights...it is a bit farther to go up to the ice fields, but worth it. (I went as a teen with my family).
Oh...I totally understand the fear of opening that chocolate box...I really have an issue with self control around chocolate! I can leave an open bag of chips alone without too much trouble, but the chocolates ~ they call to me!
Have a great day!
Camille
How beautiful Camille! There are so many things to truly be grateful for that are many times overlooked. Thanks for sharing your heart and how awesome the Lord is! Oh, your firstborn's photo is fantastic!
Blessings to you!
Sharon ~ You are so right...we so often overlook SO many blessings from our loving Heavenly Father, don't we? Oh...Austin's picture of the squirrel was truly amazing ~ even he was amazed! I wish I could have taken credit for it. :)
Blessings,
Camille
Camille, I love your cotton candy in the sky photo and the one of the chipmunk overlooking the world! Your comment about the east and west on my post is very inspiring. Thankyou for that reminder! How wonderful.
Heather
Heather ~ You are right...it does look like cotton candy in the sky! I didn't think of that before you said it ~ thanks! :)
Oh...isn't our God GREAT!! HE chose that analogy and not the North/South one on purpose...I love the richness of HIS Word!
Blessings,
Camille
Such a beautiful family! Nice pics!
Stacie ~ You've made me smile...thanks for your sweet comment! :)
May God bless you today!
Camille
Camille, your family is so precious. You are so pretty! You just radiate the peace you send my way.
Michelle ~ It truly is ALL of HIM...such Grace HE gives! I am so unworthy, but Jesus Christ is EVERYTHING!
Love,
Camille
