Awesomeness: So Blessed

There's a line from a Hillsong song that says "So blessed I can't contain it." Well, we have been amazed at what several families have given Madisen - and in turn all of us - as far as giving clothes, shoes, books, etc... It has been just amazing. We weren't expecting anything more and then today happened.

Jeremy went in to work and Karen, his boss, brought in two trash bags FULL of clothes, books, shoes, and roller blades. There were 16 pairs of shoes, countless t-shirts, sweatshirt outfits, skirts, and beautiful dresses. I tried to get pictures to show how much there was. Not sure it does it all justice. Madi was jumping up and down and Riley was having her bunnies skate in the roller blades on the floor. There were so many neat items and the clothes are in mint condition. It's incredibly beyond anything we had ever expected. And we are literally at the point of not being able to "contain it." Jeremy got more hangers on his way home and we'll need a bin for some of the winter clothes that can't be used at the moment so we can store them under her bed. One of the neatest things is that there are a variety of sizes and most of it will be perfect for winter. A very blessed girl indeed.

We often do a "high/low" point of the day. Something that a counselor recommended during a sermon sometime last year and it just opens the communication for talking about how the day went. We've done it with Riley for a while now. Madi's high point was the clothes and things. Riley's high point was, in her words, "my best part of the day was when Daddy brought home all of the clothes and things and shoes for Madisen. That was was my best part." Thought it was very sweet that she was so excited for Madi as well. And Madi was incredibly appreciative and excited.
