Friday Flower

Yep, just one flower- this daffodil didn't wait for spring... and I'm so happy to see it!

It's a reminder that spring is coming soon :)

happy Friday, everybody!

Fabulous... Monday?

I thought I would link up with Fabulous Friday but as you can see... it's not Friday! 

Apparently I got distracted and didn't post this but I love the softness of Darcy's fur too much to leave her in the files.

While I wouldn't call today "fabulous" I have certainly had worse. My kiddos are on the mend which means lots of grumping and scrapping but the weather was gorgeous and as soon as we went outside we could feel the angst melting away (well, almost). We crammed all the important activities into our precious outdoor time: riding bikes, swinging, feeding the bunnies fresh grass and drawing with sidewalk chalk. That fresh air and bunny TLC made all the difference in the world- I even feel renewed patience and gentleness (a much needed gift from God) now if it can just last 'till bed time...

How about you? I hope your week is starting out well!

My mouse is dying so I've used minimal Photoshop and we'll keep this short and sweet!

 5. Frozen 

Check out the fabulous Ashley Sisk and other entries here:

This time last year

So much has happened since this time last year! 

For example- I have two new nephews and two new nieces! 

My little kids are growing into big kids before my eyes 

and I can't help but observe that the Lord has graciously and abundantly provided for all our needs. 

Every single day. 

I heard a fun song on Pandora, my husband will say that it's cheesy but I like it anyway :)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
Measure in love

Seasons of love. 

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

How do you measure the life

Of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned,

Or in times that he cried.

In bridges he burned,

Or the way that she died.

You know that love is a gift from up above 

Share love, give love spread love 

Measure measure your life in love.

Weather Update

Hey look! Blue sky! 

We were all moping on the couch this morning when my sister in law sent me a text saying 

"the sun is shining!" 

We made it out just in time to enjoy the sun for a minute. 

Now the sun has hidden and it's chilly again but we don't care. 

We are cuddled up inside, watching movies and reading sweet stories like "Bear feels sick." 

Not a bad day after all!
