  The month to month photos have come to a conclusion.  Our little man has reached the milestone of his 1st birthday.  I’ll include some birthday photos of him.  I went with a frog theme for his birthday.  He loves his little frog stuffy so that’s what I went by.  My 2 older kiddos who were home for the morning helped by making these cupcakes for the party. Relatively neat and tidy…. After and enjoying the cupcake. I had a tough time retrieving a smile… A little fuzzy, but a photo of him opening a gift, even though the party request was no gifts. And I made this game so I had to take a picture.  The kids had to throw flies into the frogs mouth to receive a treat. (I didn’t have goodie bags…) Birthday Present from Grandma……..really he had no clue what was going on. Sharing a birthday Cake with his Great Uncle and a second cousin.   Birthday morning….he’s happy now and kind of knows what to do. one more from his cousins……really all...

The past few days have been up and down.  Moments of sadness, moments of gladness.  With my mom being ill you try to stay strong, but then remember what's going on and are broken down.  But it's days like yesterday when your church prays with you that you realize God will carry you.  He sends his Love in ways that are beyond anything you imagine.  Thank you to everyone who is surrounding our family with love, help and anything we need.  We especially thank our Heavenly Father for carrying us and placing us under his loving care! Psalm 150: 1, 2, 6 Praise the Lord . [ a ] Praise God in his sanctuary;      praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power;      praise him for his surpassing greatness..... Let everything that has breath praise the Lord .   Currently I'm working on a project for my mom.  It involves photos and a book these are both in my element I love an...

You know sometimes in life it goes slow and steady and other times your running through and it's fast and bumpy.  The latter is life right now.  The past few days have been a little crazy. We've had lovely guests come and visit us from Calgary, AB.  A great time we had with them.  As you know it's always a little busier with extra people in and around the house.  A busy I enjoy, but busy regardless.  I can't believe how many towels this house went through :)  It's ok as reward I was given a box of chocolates and Starbucks gift card.  I'd take that anytime!   (Hint, Hint babe!) We've also upped and moved my parents from their home of 25+ years.  It was a little heart breaking picking things up from there and moving it to a smaller place.  I know it's a necessary thing to do for them, but it will be so strange not driving to the King Road Palace (as my Dutch relatives call it) anymore.  We pray for my parents that...
