That’s a 2023 wrap

And that my friends concludes another year of life with the Petrignani family. Enjoy some of these last snapshots from 2023. We praise God for His goodness in every moment, the hard and the good.

I got to participate in the kids’ school Christmas celebration since I’m on the parent association. It’s always so fun to see the kids in their element in the courtyard. I think I am starting to embarrass Daphné, but she’ll get over it. Haha!

Santa came to the courtyard too.

Weeeeeee!!!

Lunch with our neighbors.

Getting ready for church.

Leading worship with my favorite person.

Emeraude, Django and I were matching, so we took a picture!

“We praise you, O Father, for the provision

of food, and shelter, and fellowship,

and for all other evidences of grace

that have been ours. May our hearts

always receive such gifts from your hand,

with true humility and thankfulness.

Amen.”

- Douglas Kaine McKelvey from Every Moment Holy, volume 1 : A Litergy of The Hours : Nightfall

I just love that prayer. Amen!
