little bits of lately.

things have been busy and a little bit crazy and a little bit hard the past few weeks. 
i've been sick for just shy of a month, hospitalized for a few days of it, and recovery has been slow and scattered. 

honestly, it's been a little discouraging at times. 
but we are making it, and thankful for family, friends and so much grace. 
and it's forced me to rest, observe, and to reflect on a lot. through it, i've been made freshly aware of how much i have to be thankful for, including the health i so often take for granted.

and then there are these two. who make things so much sweeter.
they are growing and changing and turning into such wonderful little people. 

we are so blessed.

love.
