Lucky

Another wonderful day. Homeschool and chores in the morning. A nice lunch with the kids.  Then out to enjoy the sunshine!  It gets so hot out on our little patio, it feels like summer.  The girls play in their sandbox, ride on their scooters and shout out "Watch this mommy!" and "Did you see that mommy?!"  I stand there, coffee in hand, and watch them in awe.  Can this really be my life?  How did I get to be so incredibly lucky?! We played crazy 8's, and colored the rest of the afternoon before their father took them to karate.  Me, and my amazing girls.

A beautiful evening

 

 

We went looking for a new playground to play on and Jeromy found this one.  It was beautiful. We stayed until the sun was about to set....

Windy Rainy Days

The weather was fantastic today! Rainy here and there, cloudy, warm enough to have my windows open, and just windy enough. It was really uplifting.  The girls had a lazy morning today. They helped me bake cookies.  I worked on the quilt some more and it looks beautiful. The girls came over today, and they all had a nice lunch together, watched Peter Pan, put on a "fashion show", and made up some new games. I had a nice talk with my cousin. After Jeromy came home we took the girls for a night time walk and they rode their scooters.  We ran into some friends.  Just a nice day.  I needed one of those.

January

As a lot of you know, my family has been going through a lot of hard times. We are all trying to be optimistic, and with that being said, instead of venting/complaining, I'd prefer to share some pics of bright moments that have happened through out the month.  Ringing in the new year with new friends, sledding, crafting, baking, scooters, chilly nighttime walks, hanging out with cousins, drawing a picture of a rainbow, littlest one made her first pair of socks,  reading, and helping mommy in the kitchen.

Love and joy to you all,

 

Kelly

They had a lot of fun.

Julie and Allan's girls are so adorable!

Our girls were so tired the last night...

..they both fell asleep at the fire.

Sleepy heads.  Don't they look so alike in ths one?!

Holding hands rolling down the hill.

We all had such a great time!
