She's 5!!!

My daughter turned 5 last week. To celebrate I took her and her best friend to this place called Libby Lu . What a WAY fun totally girly night. There is nothing like listening to some cute 5 year old conversations and seeing two little girls revel in joy at spending time together. I hope they are still best friends 10 years from now and I can take another picture of them together just like this.

She wanted a giant cupcake cake for her party with all of our family. It turned out okay...

We are heading to the beach next week for Spring Break to take the kids on their first ever beach trip. It should be a fantastic family fun vacation. We'll get back just in time to celebrate the littlest one's 2nd birthday. They are growing up too fast!!

Has it really been that long??

Has it really been that long since I posted?? My heavens what a busy time the last few weeks have been.

I just got back from a great speech convention in our state. It was in San Antonio along the riverwalk so that is always a nice getaway.

My daughter turned 5 this week- is that really possible!!???

My youngest son will be 2 next month.

My how time flies....Has it really been that long???

All 3 down for the count...

My husband deserves Husband of the year so far. He stayed home today from work with 3 tummy troubled kiddos while I went off to work. It's no fun to keep 2 home sick- keeping 3 home sick....that is sheer torture. (And they all seemed alive and fed when I got home). Let's hope they are all better by Monday. I also had the pleasure of collecting a sample of the tummy trouble for analysis at the Dr. office since the youngest is on week 2 of tummy trouble. Don't care if I ever repeat that fun experience.

I read 2 books in the last week. The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I vasilate from feeling distraught that there are others living in such harsh life conditions, to being so thankful for the HUGELY blessed life I live. I think the books were great and that they really put things in perspective. No more worries about the small stuff. I am free, I am not mistreated, and I am blessed with amazing love.
