Spring is almost here!

Weather is getting warmer, the sun is out, Spring is getting close!!

Sneak Peek - Allison

More cuteness!! A couple from Allison's 2-year photos.

Rockin'

Hayden came over today for a while. One of his favorite activities while here. Jammin' on the piano. After punching a bunch of buttons he can come up with some interesting music. Today we had a mix of a techno beat with the accordian. Yes!

Feel the Burn

I did an exercise video today that was toning and light weights. Later in the day, Rachel wanted it turned back on again. Seems she was ready for another round

To start - a little stretching

Working our her lunges. That's her friend Chloie in the background.

I am strong; I am powerful!

(Insert "Rocky" music here!)

Hey Mommy! Quit taking my picture!

Why no new posts?

OK...all 5 of you loyal readers out there are wondering why no updates

Because..,

• Nothing of great significance has happened in the last 5 days
• It's been warm and we've been outside and away from the computer
• Instead of blogging I've been enjoying walking outside

FYI - If you walk while listening to your MP3, and you tend to walk at the pace of the beat of the music, and you have Freebird in your MP3, you will have a nice 3 minutes of walking followed by 6 minutes of frenetic walking down the street while sucking wind. Just saying

• I've taken no photos, except for this one which I will share of my little friend who came to play with me and Rachel on Friday. (Thanks for saving this post with your cuteness Allison!)

Full Weekend of photos

Yesterday I spent the entire day at the church shooting photos for the church directory. I finished up today. That's a lot of photos! Here are some people that mean a lot to me.

This is Bob and Shirley. They have been married 58 years. Shirley had a stroke 8 years ago. To see how Bob tenderly takes care of Shirley's every need and to see how Shirley just lights up when Bob comes into the room is a real testament to the love and devotion that they have to each other. They are a wonderful example of what faith and commitment to marriage and to God are really about.

This is Josephine. She is another one who has been a great example to me. Whenever I need someone to pray for me, I call Josephine. The last time I called her to ask for her prayers, she called me back after a couple hours and had verses for me to write down to encourage me. When she says she will pray for you, you can count on it!

These are just a few of the many wonderful men and women at my church that live out what they believe. I look up to them, and hope I can be like them.

Finished project

Here's the finished project from Rachel's room. We put little jewels on the wall to dot the "i's". I had planned on a better bow, but alas I'm not overly crafty with my bow-making skills. So this will have to suffice.
