Spring!

Spring has sprung and it is absolutely beautiful!  I started my 'spring cleaning' today.  I did not get much done since I had a two year old requesting that I dance instead.  I danced.  I put the cleaning on the back burner and I danced.  I also took Lexi to a nearby field for some spring pictures.  It is in my DNA to get aggravated if I can't finish a project, but I didn't let that happen today.  I recently did pictures for a friend with a 13 year old.  I used the song, "Let Them Be Little" by Billy Dean for the slideshow.  The lyrics say, "Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle." I realize Lexi will not want ME to dance with her one day.  I want to treasure these moments when she chooses me to hang out with.  I want to laugh with her, hold her hand, dance with her, let her sleep in the middle, and just be with her before she grows up.  The past 2.5 years have flown by and each day seems to go by faster than the day before.  I know in a blink of an eye we will be sending her to college.  I wish we could freeze time.  I wish we could rewind.  I wish she could just stay 'little' a tad bit longer.

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!!
