Grand Day at the Elementary School






Grand Day is obviously for Grandparents, but since my folks are both out of town, I went as the substitute. What a great day! I feel bad for the parents who do not get to go. It was so fun! The theme was Hollywood and all the students were stars! Here are my stars!

Birthday Bowling!

Turning seven, add to that your first friends' birthday party and a favorite activity: bowling and you get one very happy little girl. Tracy had a great day! She delighted in the attention and all went well. It was fun. What more could a mother ask for?

We are still here!














I am not sure what happened to March, but we are all still here!

Be careful what you wish for . . .







Hmm . . . seems as though I was just complaining about wimpy snow and look what we have now! First it was the arctic storm that came through and gave us well below zero temperatures and now it is the snow and sleet. Take a look at the piece of ice that Marney is holding. It is fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's a New Year and Almost a New Month!








Where, oh where, does the time go? It is amazing to me that January is over! When I was teaching I always found January to be the month that just sort of dragged; not so this year. Of course, I started the year with many, many New Year's resolutions all of which are keeping me way too busy so we are operating under the status quo and then some. I have been less than successful on some, but have experienced enough success to plug away as the new month begins.

The kids are doing well. I thank God everyday that they are healthy, happy, and loving, and I thank Him for the blessing of them as I feel so unworthy! I also pray every day, many times a day, for patience, so they are just kids at that! They loved this snow--what little there was, but the next week brought lots! We all love it!

Christmas photo time . . .

I love receiving photos from friends at Christmas so I feel obligated to make the effort as well. I must say that the task becomes a bit more complicated with each new family member; but thankfully, Aunt Diane was a willing photographer and continued to take pictures as I continued to shout orders at everyone . . . and I was rather pleased with the results.
