Yucky week and Pet day!

Some weeks just seem like they go in the records books for crumbiest week. I am so spent and I think I expect my children to just be perfect. I was making breakfast for Nicholas and Paisley decides to put the cat in the shower with Nicholas and get out daddy's aftershave! What more...I can't believe how some days start. I went to lunch with Nicholas for parents day and had a good time with him. There were bag pipes and he enjoyed them for about 15 minutes. We saw lots of neighbors and and it was good to just be with him. Paisley was in preschool and I took our neighbor boy to be with Balto and Paisley for pet day since he has no pets and adores Balto. It can only get better and I am convinced God will settle me down. He has too! We will know about our work situation soon and that will help also. Am I doing the right things for Nicholas and what is too much? Some days just seem that way. now i can't figure out how to get a picture attached...oh boy! I am quiting and will be back later

My Dad's Birthday Feb 17

I am thinking about my Dad today.  He would have turned 60 today.  Did he have a fun childhood?  Did he get birthday parties, gifts and a day just about him?  The pictures look like he loved his dog. As an adult I know he was a work aholic and he wanted his kids to have everything. He just could never show me with a hug or a kind word. Was it his parents that made him feel inferior, was is vietnam, was it me? Who will ever know.  He is in heaven I pray but I do not know.  A friend said he did accept the Lord.   Today is a day just for him. The day he was born into this world and I hope he is celebrating it in glory.

I love the innocence and fun in her face.Please check out the other great pictures on http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/.  Have a great day and dance till you drop!

“We Heart Kisses” Photo Challenge

When  I read about the challenge this week a photo came to mind immediately.   Our little Nicholas is very kinesthetic and loves to kiss.  He is very serious and very good at it as grandma found out in this great shot! She said to Jeff and I that maybe we should worry just a bit about how good he is at kissing!)
