Joy Pockets #13
It’s the weekend, and time for my favorite blogging tradition: listing some of the things that brought me joy this week. Many thanks to Monica from Holistic Mama for hosting each week.

Cilantro, tomatoes, and chard. A small start, but it's a start!
Making a meal with my garden’s first real bounty. I can’t explain how giddy it made me to see that I really can grow my own food.
Sharing our family’s joy with the rest of our community.
Giving myself permission to rest.
The way Annabelle now points to every evergreen and shouts: “Christmas tree!”
The promise of good things in the lives of both of my sisters.
Visits to the library and Annabelle’s love of books.
Getting our family pictures back, and loving them!

The beautiful rainstorms we’ve been having around here.
Finding the energy to actually get creative with dinners again.
A night out with the husband.

Your turn! What brought joy to your house this week?

Oh my gosh, that picture of Annabelle is so gorgeous!! Red is really her color, isn’t it?
Love your harvest!! I can’t wait to start our garden again in a couple of months.
Thanks, Teresa! The garden really helps me to embrace this season here when I would otherwise be focused on the lack of snow. There are definitely benefits to being so close to the equator!
Hooray for your freshest salad!! You have loads of permission for plenty of rest !! Enjoy your weekend, your beautiful girl and husband!!!

Thank you! I hope the four of you are enjoying a sweet weekend together, too. <3
one of the things top of our list when we visit uk in a week, is library visits!
And HUUUGE congratulations!!!!!! yay, wonderful magical news.
Thanks for the congratulations! We are thrilled :)
Enjoy your trip to the UK – I hope you can soak up all that the public libraries have to offer!
These all sound great Melissa. I am glad you are having some rest – good for you and your growing family. Oh for a warm, tropical rainstorm, so exotic! A looks dreamy.
Thanks, Rach :) I was so very happy with the photos of Annabelle this photographer managed to get – all without any posing or cajoling to speak of!
Lucky! no green thumb here. Annabelle looks gorgeous in the photo! I am glad you linked back to the exciting news you shared this week. I some how missed reading that post, trying to play catch up. Like always it is always a joy visiting your blog. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely, lovely, photo! And I hope you had a lovely weekend, too. I think it’s Monday already, where you are….
oh yes, beautiful picture! I mentioned that I was born on Guam right? look forward to seeing more pictures (hoping to see more of Guam) I was too young when I left there to remember anything.
