Love

Sometimes it hard to find the words to say to comfort the people you love so dearly. Its hard to try to be the rock and be strong for those you love. What to say, what to say? I guess I say how much I love you and how much God loves you. He doesn't want pain to fill us, just love. It's crazy that just 1 month ago today that we were sitting in the hospital. Praying for a very special women to stay with us. How selfish is that. Knowing that when I arrived at the hospital that its not good when they put the family in a private room. But yet you pray for a miracle to happen. Hanging on to any good news. But yet the miracle is that it was her time to go home. But yet the selfishness comes back, and you say," that I didn't have enough time with her!"" I want her back!!" Yet God has other plans. Sometime, like other times, God's plans for life is not the same as ours.

1 John 4:16

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. Love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like him.

This is Mom. She is Love. She lived with God, and God lived through her.

Time Flies When Your Having Fun!!

Boy it has been busy, busy!! I have been putting in alot of hours at work this. We have started a new computer data system. Which instead of creating less work it is creating more. Lets just say its not very user friendly. Football season is upon us. Keanul's first scrimmage game is tonight. He will be playing for the JV team this year. Let hope the team does well this season. This Sunday we will be signing Roz up for basketball. Lets hope that practice and game time are at convenient times for Rick or I to be able to take her. School is just around the corner. Which is hard to believe, and also sad to know that the kids are getting up there in grades. Keanul will be a sophmore in high school. Rozalynn will be attending a new school this year. 4th grade. yikes! With the new school season comes a new dance season. Which I will be working agian this year at the dance studio. Can we say busy!

Clarity!!

There is nothing like waking up in the morning with a clear vision. Today I woke feeling refreshed and happy to be here. I started my morning with my morning cup of coffee, and sat out on our deck listening to the birds chirping away. The morning was beautiful with a small amount of dew on the lawn that shimmered.

We have a small bird feeder in the back yard that I just love. We have different birds that come and visit through out the day. There is a momma and daddy cardinal that visits quit often. As one eats the other watches over. Today the daddy came over to the momma, and gently kiss her on her beak. It was so loving and affectionate. It just goes to show that we are all Gods creatures.

Present Time

It's crazy how the mind wanders from you. To live in the present is very hard to do. I find myself thinking of everything, but also nothing at the same time. I can be thinking of yesterday events, and then come back to today's within seconds.
The mind and the brain is an excellent machine.
God has created us well. Hasn't he.

Party!!!

Well Rozalynn Birthday was last Friday. Here is a picture of the group of girls that came and helped us celebrate her birthday. We all had lots of fun. We started by eatting than we went to the pool in Ft. Atkinson. Then all the girls came back and had the birthday cookie. Yup! birthday cookie. Roz didn't want cake this year. So I found a big birthday cookie. Yummy!! The sleep over went well and all the girls were good! What fun.

Roz wanted to put on her fairy costume on when we got home. Not much else has been going on. So I will have to write more another time.

New House!!

For all that don't know we moved!! Rick and I purchased our first home at the end of May. I started painting right after we closed on the house. Than we started moving in everything the next day! We had a great crew of friends and family that helped us. Thank you to all of them. We are pretty much settled in and it's feeling like home. I am sorry that I haven't posted any pictures yet. Since we moved I haven't located my camera yet. It's around somewhere. And I haven't found my cord to my phone that hooks to the computer. They are some where together. So when I hunt those down I will posted some pictures.

Rick and I have been busy. Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. Moving, graduations, and working has been keeping us busy!

I want to say congratulations to our graduates this year....
