Easter and thoughts..........

Well Easter was a great time, the weather was a little warm but all in all a great day. Lots of wonderful food, hilarious conversations with cousins, hugging on aunts and uncles and assorted friends. We even got to celebrate a young man's birthday! Woohoo Zachery is now the big 13, wow a teenager in our midst once again. Most important my girls got to hang out with all of them. With both my parents gone it can be bittersweet. I try to focus on the good of these events but it can be highly emotional for me. I love my family, they are a great group of funny, boisterous, loving people and here are a few pics of them.


Bright and early this morning I had an appointment with Lila's Special Ed teacher, she is a veteran of Special Education and a great woman. Lila has been having a few issues lately with behavior and focus. We spoke of how Lila is who she is which is a drama queen and also how she is really a typical kindergardner. I know this can be hard for me since this is her 2nd year in Kindergarden and I feel she should be farther along with her emotions and focus. She gave me a few items to work on with Lila. Reading and role playing being priority. Not sure how I am supposed to squeeze this in but we love our little chick and make it work. So it seems I have had a little dusty gray cloud follow me most of today and I have tried to shoo it away but it has some staying power evidently. Sigh........I know I am not alone in feeling overwhelmed but it sure the heck feels like it right now.

The flowering path

The path of our lives is made more beautiful by our children, our water pots that make life's flowers bloom...........
