Seven on Sunday 11/10/24

What a lovely weekend around here with all of our kids home for a couple of days! With all the weekend preparations and a strong desire to be fully present and in-the-moment, Seven on Saturday had to be pushed off until today!

As a lot of you who have adult children in different cities know, it can be challenging to coordinate schedules and have everyone together under one roof, but we managed to pull it off! There’s just something extra special about having everyone at home!

A toddler in a blue outfit sits on an armchair next to a brown dog, like they're enjoying the perfect Sunday moment. With a small bow in their hair, the child smiles at the camera, and the dog rests calmly beside them as if it's 11/10/24—a day of precious memories captured forever.

Eden is at such a fun age, and she’s growing so much and developing the sweetest personality — and becoming quite the talker! Jeff and I are excited to head to Knoxville next weekend to babysit!
