Photos of the Week: May 24

“We might not have it all together but together we have it all.” – unknown

It must be that time of year because our project list has been long. This week was sanding and staining some furniture we got from a friend. Many hands don’t always make for quick work – but at least we were smiling!

Miss O after her successful performance filling for the lead of a musical with 24 hours notice. And Mr. D who has a wonderful Kindergarten teacher who has shown the kids how to make hand-washing fun!

When we were celebrating some family accomplishments this week, I gave the kids each a $25 gift card to Amazon to buy whatever they wanted. Nine-year-old Miss O used a portion of her gift to buy me the sign shown here. So, that’s the sign of the week – and a tribute to my kids who continually leave me feeling awe-struck!

  3. I absolutely adore how the kids are responding to your parenting. Miss O certainly recognizes how you make people feel, most importantly how you make your kids feel!

  12. Many hands don’t always make for quick work – but at least we were smiling! (That made me laugh, as a dad who had those share of projects.)

  13. Your top photo is amazing, Wynne! I love Mr. D’s safety glasses. Stylishly professional! And please pass along my congratulations to Miss O. Amazing to do that on short notice. She is beeming! The universe works in mysterious ways. Who knows what is next?

  17. You’re raising two wonderful kids, Wynne. Love how involved and responsible they are with house work. Love how you all make an old furniture new and wonderful again with some TLC. Many hands might not feel like light work now, but you’re building the foundation to get there. 💪

  20. Wow. When my kids were that age, the only thing they gave me was a hard time and more than a few headaches. Yours are awesome!

    (Mine are, too. It just took them awhile to blossom.)

  22. Your photos are stunning, Wynne! I love the quote, the family project, your daughter’s accomplishment, your son’s hand-washing fun, and what you’re teaching your children is unexpectedly coming back to you. So heartwarming. ❤️🤗

  27. That is one of my favorite Maya Angelou quotes. I also must say, you are raising wonderful young adults who have a kind soul so much that they share their gifts/rewards with others. Well done!
