Amazing how life whisks you away and you sit for a moment and go... wow. I have been so busy lately, blog is suffering. I will try to get some pictures and posts up this week. Get back into the grind.
St. Pattie's Day was really relaxing. I got a pass and went over to Tim & Amanda's place to have some corned beef, guinness, and dancing. Spent most of the night by the campfire. This week has been full of long days since Bri left... but the kids and I have been keeping busy and getting through it. haha.
Bri is in Arizona for his 12 year old team... they lost 3 and won 1 but they were good games. He is back Monday and the job hunt continues. Pray.
Gwen got her report card and is doing an awesome job. Daisy Scouts are really fun and we are finished with cookie sales so the girls will be choosing soon where to go/what to do with the money we raised for our troop.
The twins are really branching out with their writing and drawing. Tristan's new favorite Wii game is Super Mario Bros... even though it is really hard he's a trooper. Ethne and I planted some make shift greenhouses and this morning we have sprouted our mixed greens and our green & yellow beans! Waiting for the peppers and green onions. Next up will be mixed carrots, lemon cucumbers, basil, and roma tomatoes.
But the best thing that happened this week was that I got an early birthday present. I had been wanting a particular photo of M.M. and had posted it early in my blog. Well, on St. Pattie's Day a package came and it was huge. It wasn't marked too well and just had my name so I opened it and low & behold... it was the most amazing photo of M.M. ever. It wasn't the one I had previously posted, BUT it was from the same photo shoot and it was even better!! She looks so free... and she is barefoot, hair tousled and in a white (of course) sun dress. She looks like a true hippie. I immediately started to cry when I saw it. It is now hanging over my bed... I am in awe when I look at it.
With all the crazy ups & downs of stress over the past two weeks... it made my month. Thank you from the depths of my soul. The time & effort that went into trying to find the photo I wanted, is VERY appreciated. All the love & peace I have... biggest hugs forever. Muah.
