Weekly Gratitude...

Sunday Morning Breakfast. It as become a tradition around our house that we have homemade pancakes and sausage for breakfast every Sunday morning. I love everything about this. I love that Rainee and I get all the ingredients out...  and put it all together... that we smash the sausage for the grill.... and the simple act of watch the water dance to see if the frying pan is ready for our batter.

This started as a simple thing... just every once in a while... then somehow it became our thing... our time together as a family. For the last year or so...  this little tradition has transpired into our special Sunday Morning Breakfast. It includes... the juice of your choice, fresh fruit, sausage, home made pancakes... no box stuff here... and of course yummy yummy REAL maple syrup. Doing this fills my heart with joy.

This tasty breakfast is the start of our Sunday... I think it sets the tone for our day. With the craziness of...  getting ready for church... and the after church squealing... playing... wrestling... even the occasional afternoon napping... and even when Steve has to leave for work. This is our time.... to enjoy the peacefulness that Sundays are meant for. I enjoy how the day goes along because of how it started. I am grateful for these little everyday traditions which start when you aren't even aware of them... are looking for... or planning... these are the best traditions... simple things like Sunday Morning Breakfast. I am grateful.
