Family Fun

Last Sunday we had to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!  We had a great moring at Lake Grapevine.  Major had a blast walking the trails and having a picnic.  It was a great day!!

Life is Life and sometimes people make it hard....

Life is good! Right.... I would say for the most part it is, it is a blessing, that’s for sure! Sometimes though it seems really hard, even in the midst of the good.... My point? Well that has to do with how you make others feel.
Whatever happened to the "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" rule? What, you hit a certain age and you just through that one out the window. You are allowed to think whatever you want, but the key is you don't have to say everything you think! So, yeah, maybe I am a little oversensitive at times, and maybe I don't always think before I speak, but I am going to try harder. I want to make others feel good and uplifted as they walk away from our conversation, not doubting themselves or hurt by something I said.

Words are powerful, people!

Spring....are you here for good???

I am enjoying the wonderful weather, but is it here to stay?? I sure hope so! Spring is one of my favorite times of the year, why? Well it is simple; I am tired of being cold and looking at the dead grass, plants and trees. I am ready for life and color! Even still 65 feels a little chilly to me, I know that is crazy, but it’s the truth. If it can just stay near that temp or higher, I will be great! At Pop's and Nana's it is time for the cows to have their babies, the chickens to start laying eggs and the weather to be nice enough to enjoy the barn before the flies and heat of the summer!

This spring could bring extra joy to our family, as we are planning on adopting and it is looking like April may be the month. We are still in the process, but we have high hopes and are praying that this is it! Of course there is alot out of our control, but we can wish and pray for the best, which is what we will do! Thanks to everyone that has been supportive and praying for us, that is awesome! We will try to keep our blog updated with the progress.

Also thank you for all the prayers for Sean's dad.... He is home and doing better now that he can breathe! He will start his treatment on Monday and it will be about a 7-8 week process. You can stay updated on him by reading his blog, see link to the right!
