Reflecting on Retirement
Two weeks ago, Papa officially RETIRED from work! He reached the working world’s finish line and now he can go fly a kite! Just kidding. But really, now he has time to fly kites, organize his workshop, lay by the pool and tackle Grammy’s never ending “to-do” list. For Papa, retirement doesn’t mean that he’ll stop working… just that he’ll no longer be working for someone else (besides Grammy that is). Continue reading
Searching for SUNSHINE
When we went to the Arboretum a few weeks ago I was on a very important mission… I was on a mission to find SUNSHINE. I looked high and low. I searched behind every tree and bush, in the deep dark waters and throughout the colorful flowerbeds that lived there. I ran as fast as I could to try and catch it and then I sat quietly waiting for it to come and find me. Continue reading
There is Love
This is the story of Daddy’s cousin Laurann, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in November 2007. After a year of intense chemo and radiation she was finally in remission. In November 2009 she started having symptoms again. A PET Scan revealed new tumors. Continue reading
Eggs-travaganza
Easter is almost here and that means it’s time to color Easter eggs! We had our first annual Eggs-travaganza at my friend Ben’s house this week. But before we made a mess in Miss Sunny’s kitchen, we went outside to check out Ben’s new castle. Continue reading
Bluebonnet Hill and a Field of Indian Paintbrush
The bright blue blossoms beacon me. I put on my beautiful yellow tutu and the biggest bow I could find. Mama says I look like a fairy princess. She curls my hair and grabs her good camera, yelling to Daddy that we’re off to Bluebonnet Hill. Continue reading
Yauts & Yauts of Stuff
We’ve been so busy working outside on our gardens and playing with our friends that we forgot some of you might be wondering what happened to us. Well, we’ve got yauts and yauts of stuff to tell you (that means lots and lots in case you’re not familiar with my language from previous posts- hee, hee). Continue reading
A Happy Ending
If you’ve read our last post, you know all about our new little visitor, Sophia the bunny rabbit. In the last few days her eyes have opened, she has been eating really well and seems to be growing bigger. Continue reading
A Precious Reminder
Inside this box is a little Spring surprise. We found her in the garden and there were no others like her around. Her eyes are still shut so we figure she’s less than 10 days old. She fits in the palm of Mama’s hand and makes a tiny squeaky sound when you pick her up. She’s covered in fur and someday she’ll have big long ears and a round fluffy white tail. Have you figured it out yet? Continue reading
Off the Beaten Path
My cousins and I decided to go for a walk in the woods the other day. It’s spring break around here so they’re off from school and the weather has been delightful. Spring is definitely in the air. Continue reading
Finding Contentment
What is contentment anyway? I hear that word said all the time, and from what I can tell, it seems to be something everyone is constantly searching for? Can you touch it and feel it or take a big bite? Is it sweet or salty, does it come with a fight. Is contentment something that comes from the bee that zooms around from tree to tree? Is it in the tiny flowers that pop up from the ground with the arrival of Spring? Continue reading
