Remembering someone special. Life is too short.

Today we remember someone who was taken from us too soon, someone who was like a 2nd father to me and my siblings and even was so very close with my husband. Someone who I truly with my kids were able to get to know. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.Continue reading “Remembering someone special. Life is too short.”

They are what we want to be… they are our future!

Last night we spent the evening with good friends of ours and our kids. Friends we became closer with because of our kids.

A walk in the park

The kids love exploring and it did not take much direction or encouragement to get them to sit up on this big rock… just patience ;) Love them and love that my hubby and I spent this today together with our babies and other family. 11Continue reading “A walk in the park”

Raising children… the next generation

Raising children… everyday it is a part of us, watching the new things they do or say, laughing at their pure innocence and child logic, listening to them explain and tell stories. Watching these feet grow, that started so tiny. As I sit here this early morning, in absolute silence in our house awaiting ourContinue reading “Raising children… the next generation”
