Blessed...

We have been EXTREMELY blessed by our church family at Calvary. Jason and I have often commented that we would not know quite what to do with ourselves...bereft of our family back home...if we did not have such an amazing body of believers here in Charlotte.


One of those families...the Ledweins...have recently taken it upon themselves to BLESS OUR SOCKS OFF!!! :-)


With a new baby on the way...somewhere in the near future...Jackson will be ousted from the nursery and moving up to share a room with his big brother. Tyler thought this the perfect opportunity to cash in on his longtime dream of acquiring a bunk bed. We've been putting him off for as long as possible. But now, with two boys in one small room...it was a plausible option.

Enter the Ledweins. They called us up several weeks ago and asked if we wanted a bunk bed! (Not only a bunk bed...but both mattresses, all the bedding, AND coordinating room decor!)


The majority of the family answered with a resounding YES...but this fearful mama has a wild imagination and overactive "what-if" scenarios played through my head. But...I was outnumbered and Tyler is now the very proud owner of a bunk bed.


*Amy considers herself co-owner...as she is often found sleeping in there come morning!



If that was not enough, along with the bunk bed came FOUR bags of hand-me-downs for Tyler that replenished his sadly lacking fall wardrobe.


On top of that...they asked if they could take us out to brunch for pastor appreciation month. OF COURSE! :-) That one required no deliberating on my part!!!


Then, it just so happened that Miss Jackie brought her fancy camera to lunch to see if we would be interested in snapping some family photos afterwards. Seeing as we were at the Ballantyne Country Club with all the fall colors...it was definitely a success...even with a tired toddler who had skipped both naps!


Needless to say, we have been completely blessed by this family! They are always so willing to serve in whatever capacity we need them, have made it known how much they support us, and find so many different ways to spur us on in love and good deeds.


Thank you so much, sweet Ledwein family!!!!

*Family pics will be forthcoming...once Christmas card is complete! :-)
