Celebration Continues…

This past weekend we again had a lot of celebrating going on. Saturday we attended Gracie’s 1st Birthday party. Being outside at a park was super exciting for Ellia. She loved the playground and expecially the little merry-go-round they had. It seems like she enjoys swinging and also being spun around. Kennywood this year will be fun. Gracie is already walking with assistance and was as cute as can be in her Hawaiian outfit. Here are some pictures from the day.

Sunday being Father’s Day, we headed to church and then for an afternoon visit to Aunt Jen and Uncle Dave’s house. Ellia had so much fun playing with her cousins in their yard. They have a house and a wagon and a golf set!!! Dada enjoyed giving Ellia her first golfing lesson. She also loved to play peek-a-boo through the windows of the playhouse. What a wonderful afternoon enjoying the beautiful day. I am so thankful that my Dad is here to celebrate another Father’s day with us. He is doing rather well for all he has gone through. God is so good!

For dinner, we headed to Aunt Kelly and Uncle Ron’s house to celebrate Father’s Day with the Angelo clan. Again, Ellia had so much fun playing in the back yard with Bo Bo and with Papa, Magerie and Daddy. She is becoming quite a pro at Cornhole. We ate, opened gifts and then all took a walk to Dairy Queen for desert. Ellia even got a quick guitar lesson from Uncle Ron.

Today, Thursday, Kristin was induced and as I type, we are anxiously waiting to hear about the arrival of Garrett William Foulk! So the celebration continues. This whole blog is about celebrating. Isn’t that what life is all about?! Celebrating the time that is given to us and enjoy, loving and appreciating all we are graced with!!! Celebration Times.. COME ON!!! Hope you are out there celebrating each and every day. Even if it is just the littlest things. Don’t take any of it for granted. The grass can be GREEN RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!!! Just look for it and enjoy it! Like a cup of hot coffee, or an extra hour of sleep (Lord knows I could use that) a bright summer day, a smile from some you love, or even that you have a pillow to lay your head on at night! Man, I must be tired.. I keep thinking about sleep! Or the fact that you get a clean slate every day you are granted!!! Now THAT is worth celebrating!! Even if you are in hard times…look for those little things to get you through and hold on tight… and know that there is a God who loves you even if this world doesn’t seem to... anyway… this weekend Ellia and I will be joining Aunt Jen, Mimi Ollis, Alex and Samantha on a trip to Greensburgh, IN for a wedding. We leave Friday and are visiting with cousins we haven’t seen in many years. I’m excited and will of course share pictures. Please keep us in your prayers for safe travels. Until next time, keep up the Celebration!
