Photo Happy

On my quest to learn more about this whole Digital Photography thing....I went a little picture happy the other day.
Hope these make you smile.

Wouldn't it be Loverly?

It was!!!
The past few days really have been loverly....
I had bad luck trying to get a babysitter this week so Steve and I could go out for an early Valentine's dinner, BUT, after telling my good friend Leah my woes she saved the day and offered to let Gabriella come over to her house.
thank you, thank you!
It was great to go out.
We had bought some dessert to share with Gabriella and let her open the Valentine's Day package she got from Steve' family, she was very happy.

Today we were off to a birthday part at the Children's Museum. She ran and ran, played, slid, fell, it was very fun and a bit chaotic. She had a blast and even saw her friend Hunter there from church.
I did feel a little bad at one point...a little girl and Gabriella weren't watching and bonked right into each other. Ella got up and rubbed her head, looked at me and ran to the slide. The other little girl went to her mom crying and I saw them leave soon after. With so many kids running around I was surprised Ella didn't have many more

collisions. So with minimal bruises and no tears, it was time to get home.

It was a great and busy Valentines day!

Here's to sweet dreams and "chocolate" wishes.

Wanted to Share

This past week went rather well...I've had a lot on my mind but staying busy helps I think.
I was really surprised to find these on my front step the other night.

Steve's family sent beautiful Tulips. I was so touched and appreciate them thinking of me and my family. Thank you.
I just love them, it is amazing how flowers can make you smile and make your home feel so pretty.
In other news...I decided to trim Gabriella's hair....the mullet was just getting longer and longer so I took some off...and I hope it grows back fast. It didn't turn out super great, but her hair is so curly I don't think it looks that bad.

I also got my hair cut (I didn't do it myself) that would be horrible.

Funeral this week....

Missing family right now...

Wish I could be there...

Funeral on Friday...

Grandma Wilma passed away yesterday, Monday morning around 9am.


I've had the unique opportunity of having known 5 great-grandparents.
Out of all of them I probably knew Wilma the best...

I found a letter she wrote me today while I was cleaning. It was written last April. I'm glad I have it so I can show it to Gabriella one day. Wilma loved Gabriella very much and still does I know.
