Turtle and the Hare.

I'm speaking at our upcoming Mother/Daughter retreat, this weekend at LGYC( shameless plug). I've known for awhile that I'm the turtle in the race. I work better slow and steady as opposed to fast and furious. So these talks have been in the works for a couple months, getting honed and almost ready to cross the finish line. So now you know I am a springer and a turtle and that is way more information than you probably ever wanted. But I think it's important to recognize how you operate best.

Happy Birthday Andy!

Today I am so thankful for Andy!

Happy Mother's Day!

We've all been a little under the weather, I stayed in bed so everyone helped themselves to breakfast.

It's a beautiful morning and these tulips Lily and I planted together were calling my name. I still remember picking out the color and then digging up the soil with her. She is precious and aren't they beautiful?

I feel so blessed by a loving family and the beauty that surrounds me, hope you and yours have a beautiful Mother's Day.

Lily is at that stage of joking and not really having a punch line. Tonight's example, 'What did the flower say to the other flower?' 'You're ugly.' She has her father's humor.

Savoring

We're celebrating birthday week for Andy.

We are blessed with a full table of all yummy foods provided by very sweet friends that celebrate right along with us.

Seriously, blessed and thankful for great friends and great food!

Springers and lingerers.

Andy just told me that everyone is either a springer or a lingerer. I am a springer. I wake up at the same time roughly every morning, my eyes pop open and I hit the ground running. Annoying, trust me I know. Just talk to Virginia and Andy who are both lingerers in my life and have had sleepovers with me. But, I love my mornings. They are quiet and fresh. School is coming to a close, but I wanted to capture a little of the preparation I have been doing since Sept. Always accompanied by iced coffee and pb toast.

Another sight I love are these pretty little bud vases that will find homes all around our yard. 99 cents well spent.

Monday mornings.

Thankful for Andy letting 6 little, extra hands help make pancakes.

Thankful for the extra 15 minutes in bed. Check out that morning hair.
