innocence

Today Lexi and I found a baby squirrel behind our planter.  We didn't know if it was hurt, scared, or a little bit of both.  He hung around for a few hours.  While Lexi and I enjoyed the weather outside, Lexi gave the "little fellow" as she called him, water, nuts, a stuffed animal, a book, and a bed (a Kleenex on her very favorite rock from the yard).  She told me he lost his parents and he wanted to come to our house because he thought we were nice.  Ahh, I just wish I could bottle up the innocence.  I wish the world could be this peaceful, genuine, positive, caring, and sweet.  I wish we could all see the beauty of the world like children do through their eyes.  I. Wish.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
