Today my heart is full thinking about my sweet family. Life is never still—it shifts, it bends, it surprises us. Children grow taller, seasons turn, and the rhythm of our days changes in ways we sometimes don’t even notice until we pause to look back.

What amazes me is how love threads through it all. Even as things change—jobs, homes, challenges, celebrations—love remains, stretching and reshaping itself to fit whatever life asks of us. Families grow not just in number, but in depth. We carry each other through storms, we laugh until our sides ache, and we find hope in one another when the world feels heavy.

There’s such joy in realizing that life doesn’t stand still—it flows forward like a river. And while that means we can’t hold on to every single moment, it also means there is always something new waiting ahead: another inside joke, another meal around the table, another memory in the making.

Change isn’t just inevitable—it’s a gift. It shows us that we are alive, still growing, still moving together through time. And in the middle of it all, I see my family, steady and shining, reminding me that this life—this ever-changing, imperfect, beautiful life—is worth every single breath.

We celebrated my dear nephew for his 18th with a surprise part!!! I had to keep it under wraps and seeing his face was such a delight.
