Ten

10 years ago my entire life changed.

I can't believe it has already been 10 years.

I cried secretly today.

I am so proud of you.

love,

Mom

THREE

AND 4....

I love this picture of these little hands.....

5 More days....

The kids enjoying the goodie in the "box" tonight....

Phew! Where has December Gone?

Where has it gone and does it go away like this every year?

Does normal life give way to school activities, recitals, holiday gatherings, and possibly a house full of so much laundry that it should be illegal what the flu creates?

Grand excursions out for tiny treasures to wrap and hopefully bring sweet smiles to every loved ones face?

Greeting cards filling up each evening...thinking I will just sign them this year, and never able to resist just adding "a little note" to each one.

Phew is right!

I finally finished up my Advent calendar made of tiny boxes.

I LOVE IT.

The KIDS LOVE IT.

I hope to post some photos of their nightly surprise in the coming days....

Hope you are treasuring your December.

(AND did not get the FLU!)

Its beginning to look a lot like.....

This is a busy time for everyone; but I am treasuring these kind of moments.

Love Thursday

And this is how I found her....

Watching out the window for her "guys" 

that had just left for school with back packs on their own backs.

Somewhat potty training...any excuse to be bare though really.

Her true love these days...Grover...along for the ride.

Things I love today {besides the obvious}

The fire that smells so good and warms my heart.

My fuzzy chocolate colored Ugg slippers.

My Husband cooked Pai Thai....mmmm.

Happy Love Thursday.

For Me

Happy Roses... For me.

Some years ago, a dark eyed girl,

was sitting in the shade,-

There's something brings her to my mind

In that young dreaming maid,-

And in her hand she held a flower,

A flower whose speaking hue

Said, in the language of the heart,

Believe the giver true.
