Carbon Neutral

In reading a friend's blog today I found this little gem of a site that will make your blog carbon neutral by planting a tree for each blog registered - sounds good to us - you?

Thank You!

I was reading a post today at one of my all time favorite blogs see it here and it reminded me to be thankful - as her blog so often does.

With all of the insanity in the world I need look no farther than our couch on a rainy day to find the reason I do it all.
My husband is an incredible, loving, artistic man who has so much patience with me sometimes I wonder where he gets it.
My 2 1/2 year old son is wise beyond his years and really astounds me with some of the things he says (Example: "It is exquisite", to which I reply "What is exquisite son" and he says "IT means very special mom")
My one year old daughter is a wonder, I am amazed every day by her new accomplishments.

It is so humbling to look at your children and see how much they grow and how much a part you play in their lives, and so today, I am thankful that I get to be in the story of their amazing lives.

Our Rockstar

Things have been crazy in our house - but through the craziness we have found our rockstar. Johanna - you are amazing, the children love you, they are exhausted at the end of the day and best of all they are so happy. Just wanted to take a minute and let you know how much we love you. Here are some "better late than never" Easter etc pictures....have a great week.

Sadness and Growth

No pictures this time - I can't find the USB cable for my camera - I will put finding it at the top of my to do list.

Our family has been going through a bit of a hard time, someone we love is sick and we cannot help them, my kids won't be spending their days with Grandma anymore, it is sad for them and I don't think they fully understand it but hopefully some day they will.

Our good friend Johanna has taken in our beautiful children, Dante provides a playmate for her son who is just 15 days older and Camille provides a nice balance of girlness, or she will once she gets used to the idea and stops crying. Poor Mimi, she is more like me than I thought, we both HATE change.

My loving husband keeps telling me that there are no problems just bigger solutions, and I couldn't ask for a more supportive spouse. Thank You honey for all you do for us. That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.

Here's hoping out of any sadness you feel, growth will sprout.
