The end is near

No, this post/picture is not about the apocalypse that did not occur as predicted on Saturday - it's about Annie's last week of school, which you can tell from the look on her face she is NOT happy about.

First week of May

Yes, I know I am waaaay behind but I was so proud of the fact it was the first week of May when I took this picture & we already had a tomato on the vine! When the Farmer's Almanac says to plant - you plant & look at the results!

Originally I planned on documenting the growth of our garden through this blog but life is busy so maybe there will be snippets throughout the summer & then this might be the last pic.

More outdated posts to come I'm sure unless I somehow end up with more hours in the day...which I honestly would probably do something else but there is a chance I might blog.

Spring fun

...while listening to a historic speech by President Obama on the death of Osama Bin Laden I am reminded of how lucky I am to live in a free & safe country so that I can, like this picture shows, enjoy spring Saturday afternoons shopping & gardening with my sweet daughter. I thank the Lord for all the blessings in my life & the joy of living in the USA is one of which I am extremely proud & reminded of tonight.

New post

... just because I have not posted an enormously large picture of sweet Annie in awhile - this girl has been busy!

Run & play

Today I dropped Annie off at school and as soon as we got there she got excited. Annie loves her school and most mornings she grabs her little lunch box & stands by the door ready to leave the house 15 minutes early. This morning was no different - we could barely get her hands washed after we got to her class before she was trying to crawl off the step stool & start playing. Today was funny because when I sat her down the two little boys in her class ran over to her, she laughed, & then they started chasing her on their unsteady toddler legs - the whole group of them giggling like crazy.

I was insanely jealous of three things:
1. Their schedule: play, snack, group reading, singing, play, lunch, nap, play
2. Their energy - I did not get my morning coffee & I was feeling it.
3. The joy they were getting out of just seeing each other. These three had all seen each other the day before but they were SOOOOOO excited to be back together for another day.

Youth while not wasted on the young is appreciated by those who are older.
