Evidence's of Spring

Little buds turn into little blosoms that in turn become flowers

After three days of darkness I was ready for sunshine. Monday didn't want to cooperate, but Tuesday arose with the sun breaking through the clouds. My soul needed the renewing effects of the sun. So my girls and I set off on a quest to find the evidence of spring.

I have the best Grandpa in the whole world

My grandpa takes me for rides on his tractor, he protects me when I am scared, he takes time for a picnic with his girls.

I love my Grandpa.

Happy Birthday Seena

Little Princess turns eight.

I was so happy that so many of our family were able to be there, lots of babies, Jakie, and Andrew represented Jennifer and Michael's family. Uncle Mark and Aunt Elisabeth were there with balloons. Jonathan, Isabel and small ones came even though Amaya didn't feel so smashing. Nana and Grandpa and Aunt Ivy were also there. Thank you, thank you for coming. It was a little thing and only for a few minutes, but Seena felt loved and I felt supported.

Happiness

I think that most of my happiness, joy, fulfilment, pleasure what have you comes from my family, and most specifically my husband. I think that is how it is suppose to be. Today was a beautiful day, the kids came home from school, did a little homework, did a little cleaning and then we all went outside little boys rode bicycles, big boys played basketball, little girls chased neighborhood kitties and an occasional stray basketball. Then for Dad and big boys it was time to get ready for scouts. I can't begin to express the feelings in my heart for these normal, ordinary, beautiful, wonderful, perfect moments. It is on days like these that I can stand back and say "Yes, this is what life should be". It is on these days that I am happy to be alive, grateful for the hand that I have been given, and eager to get up and do it all again tomorrow.

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time little red riding hood went on a picnic with her daddy...

"Oh Allie, what big ears you have" "The better to ignore you with daddy"

"Oh Allie, what big eyes you have" "The better to melt your heart and get me out of touble"

"Oh Allie, what big teeth you have" "The better to give you big slobery kisses" "RRRRRRRRRR"
