Cheeeesssseee on Sunday

Just a moment I want to remember.

Awana Awards Night

So proud of my kids. Z received her Cubby Bear book award and J the Sparky Award for completing all 3 Sparks books.

Thank Goodness for Weekends

This week I'm thankful...

1.  That AWANA is over for the year!
2.  That God prepares the hearts of others even when we don't think He will.
3.  A lazy day with no agenda
4.  Watching cooking shows with my enthusiastic chef, Z
5.  The joy a swingset brings my monkeys

Country Life

One of the nice things about growing up in the country is the natural beauty that surrounds you during every season. The last trip out to mom and dad's reminded me of how much I love the country in the Spring: the smells of a million different plants stretching out after a long cold winter, the colorful landscape of Black-eyed Susans, Indian Paintbrushes, Winecups and a plethora of other wild flowers, the baby calves and goats that speckle the surrounding pastures. I love the convenience of the city but I will always miss the country. Lesson of the Day: We too often take for granted what we will eventually miss. Make the most of every moment.

Ahhwwww, Mom....

Here they are, the Easter Pics. Yes, they are forced (and I did have to hear my fair share of "Ahhhwww, moms" and get the look of "seriously" from Alan) but they actually turned out pretty good this year. We even got a decent family picture out of the bunch. We had a great Easter in San Antonio with Alan's family and Marisa. Lesson of the Day: Keep taking pictures...you might have 5,000,000 bad ones but it's all worth it if you get 1 great one. Memories should be preserved, because the memory fades.
