2 month long post, part 1

 Yes, it's really been that long. Please be patient as I fill you in.

Holly cooked for my birthday, so we did the 'kid' photo shoot. We all know how that typically goes...





Joey made us a sidewalk.



We played outside,

trimmed the bushes, 

added mulch, 


acted silly, 


swept, 

and monkeyed around. 



We drove to Asheville to get the girls' pictures made and made a pit stop and Owen and Lindsay's. Scott, Roxanne, and Charlie were there too!
Sweet baby Zade!


I hope the cats weren't too traumatized...



And fish too!



Lydia rarely falls asleep in the car, so I had to memorialize it.

Madelyn's 6 month photo op.


And Little Red Riding Hood came to visit.

Connor and his parents came to Grammy and Papa's house for a long weekend.





She always manages to find the TV.

Madelyn's rolls and hair!

Lydia's spring art projects.


The many faces of Madelyn.




We out to eat for Lydia's birthday: Mexican.





Lydia's 4th birthday party was a succes!






Grandma Jean was here all the way from Arizona!





Attendance was GREAT!
Lily, Wyatt, Jack, Colby, Tucker, Colby, Josiah, Jeremiah
Joe, Riley, Rachel, Lydia, Hope, Julian, Lee
(Madelyn and Harrison are not pictured)


THEN my camera died. No the battery was not dead, my camera bit the dust. Sigh...More pictures to come via Jeri's camera, my mom's phone, and my 'new' smart phone (finally!).

Happy Birthday to me!

I love my birthday. Not because of gifts I may get, but because I feel so loved. Not to say I don't feel loved everyday, but my birthday helps me reflect on all my many blessings. I would try to list them all, but I fear I would leave one out, so if you are reading this, count yourself as a blessing to me.

Joey did get me a really good gift though. :)


Not a great picture, but it's an Origami Owl Living Locket with the girls' birthstones and other meaningful charms inside.
Thanks Hubby! So glad you can take a hint!! :)
