~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I’ve been waking up to birds chirping and lawn mowers rumbling. And I love it.
Spring is here and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Haven’t blogged in ages…..
School is going well. We finally get into a good rythym, then it’s about time for summer. Figures.
And just when I’m certain I am scarring my kids for life, certain they think I’m crazy, they can’t enough of me. Reese says, “Mom, I like it when you’re here. Things are just better when you’re here.” And Jake. He’s in the bathroom and cracks the door and starts a conversation with me. “Mom. You know that Valentine’s Day card you wrote me? It made me cry. I mean, I got tears in my eyes. All those nice things you said about me. It was so sweet.”
All the time matters. All the sweat. All the tears. All the “I’m sorries”. I won’t regret a single minute of time with them…..
Avery is awfully proud of her recently aquired bike riding skills and new earrings.
I do have a son and he is loved just as much as these three. He’s just too busy to stop for pictures most of the time.
It’s an overcast St. Patrick’s Day. Coffee is brewing. Brad is rounding and running to Lowe’s to get a screen door. I love the slap of a screen door and I need to be able to hear the kids without the flies coming in.
The kids are watching “Sky High”.
Emma is eating Reese’s Puff’s in her gyro bowl. Speaking of which, that thing is amazing. Nothing spills. It’s weird. Why couldn’t I have thought of that??!
I’m thinking of doing a give away soon. Have never done it but think it would be fun. So stay tuned!
Happy Saturday!

Lovely kiddos. Precious words. I’m SO very happy for Spring, too.
God is so good to give us those little glimpses of our kids hearts.
Beautiful girls! Love those green eyes. I know what you mean about school…about the time we have it figured out, it’s summer.
Would love a giveaway!
haven’t seen you around in a long time! should i say ‘welcome back?!’.
and, your kids! so cute they are! love their little St.Patrick’s Day shirts.
growing up…that’s what your kiddos are doing
It will be worth it in the end…keep trucking 
Now for a button to push that puts away any toys in an instant like a magnet.
Before long with all these new gadgets kids won’t make a mess
haven’t blogged in ages she says. yeah.
i noticed! miss you when you’re not around. 
but still! waaaay fun. looking forward to yours…i have one planned as soon as a certain book is published. can’t wait!
and i love giveaways. not that i win them or anything.
i so get that “scarred for life” fear. i didn’t know i wasn’t qualified to be a mom until AFTER i got the job. lol. sigh. but…such sweet words from your kids…nothing like encouragement from the mouths of your own babes. love it.
yes. have NOTICED your absence. and missed you!!
great shots of the girls. so pretty, and growing fast. and i understand about having a son that doesn’t stop long enough to take his pic.
i should check out that gyro bowl – reese is forever spilling everything. though, actually, it’s more like THROWING everything, so i’m not sure it would help.
and i love those mommying moments when you’re kids reassure you they like you!
i think the Lord knows we need them every now and then, right!
will look forward to a your giveaway girl~ and hope to see you back around here more. xo
