The Boni Bunch: Day of Blessings!

Day of Blessings!

God has blessed us today... GREATLY!

This is our new minivan...well, new to The Bunch.

*HISTORY: Our family- a family of 6- has never had a vehicle to hold more than 5 people. We have 2 cars- each holding up to 5. So...if we want to EVER do anything as a family, we have to take both cars. This is frustrating because car #1 is great- has a/c and is comfy; car #2 has NO a/c, only 1 window will go down- the other three are stuck UP...etc- it has lots of issues. BUT if we want to do something all together, one of us is stuck driving the crummy car! Ever since the twins were born and we became a family of 6, we've thought "wow, we need a van" but the finances haven't been there to get one. So, we learned to make do... being grateful that we at least have two working vehicles!

*TODAY: A friend of mine called today and said she had something to drop off for me...could she stop by. SURE! Not at all expecting THIS... she got out and handed me the keys! As you can probably imagine, I BAWLED! I said no a few times...told her she couldn't do this... etc. As I cried, she hugged me... it was very emotional! What a great blessing she is to our family (in more ways than one)!! So, as I thank God for this gift, I pray that He greatly blesses her... beyond her imagination!!

--------------------------

Also today, my "sister of support" from TMOMs delivered her new twin babies! Hayden and Hailey were born around 12:30 this afternoon; Hayden weighed 5lb,13oz and was 18 3/4 inches long, and Hailey weighed 5lb7oz and was 18inches long!! They're beautiful! My SOS is Jamie- she and her husband Shane and 3 year old daughter, Hannah, are so very excited about their new additions! CONGRATS to your family!!
