Things I’m Loving Right This Minute

A cute boy with a new shirt. Silly guy.

Finally finishing a sweet spring puzzle with a couple of cute kitties.

Hanging out with some folks that we love.

Watching our sweet girly in her orchestra concert.

Seeing pictures of the creepy moon that we missed because it was cloudy and raining…

and happening at 4:30 in the morning.

Trying my hand at making funny cheesy crackers.

Finding an old picture that made me laugh.

Clapping for these sweethearts while they take a well-deserved vacation.

A darling boy that needs to quit all that crazy growing stuff. Sheesh.

And finally having kitty peace…

throughout the kingdom.

Go to sleep Lyla.

The Countdown

This sweet guy has been counting down his “single life” for MONTHS now. So with just a few days to go, it was time to try on the actual wedding suit. I was pretty dang excited that he asked me to go with him.

Ohhh, that happy face.

He came out laughing and dancing. Of course I just sat there giggling at him hopping around all over the place. The shop people were even laughing at him. They’ve got to be used to this kind of thing, right?

I haven’t seen this handsome guy in a suit since his mission. Yeah…pretty sure we burned that one. Two years of Russia. Yikes.

But I digress…

Ohhhh Rhenny boy. I love you so much. You look  incredible.

The suit is nice too.

First Snow…men

With the very first real snowfall of the year, Rhen was over come with seasonal spirit and promptly went out and made an adorable little snow man. Perhaps this is better described as a snow-ball man–but no matter. We adore him, perched up on top of the car!!

When the family saw our little guy the photos of their snowy creations started flooding the family text group. Miss Chomp and Fluttershy with their frosty fellow–

so cute!!

Miss H with her gigantic snow lady. Check out that hat!!

K & L’s snow chick even has long, lovely hair! Awesome, awesome.

Even my crazy Dane sent in his contribution from 85 degree Texas.

Ohhhh, Dane!  HAAA!

Our silly snow didn’t last long–an hour or two, tops–but we’re pretty good at making the most of what we’ve got…rain or shine.

And loving every minute!

We’re All Wet

Well, this was a bit of a gamble for me–to say the least. Knowing, or believing I should say— that swimming would be a good, non-stressful way to exercise–and NOT being willing to do said exercise in public–we took the leap and bought a pool.

With my foot being so touchy, I knew that the pool ladder would certainly not work–so the gamble part was more–how on earth to get my silly self actually IN the pool in the first place. Kinda felt like I’d have to have some magical powers to make it work.

But the boy was willing to set it up and the kids were certainly willing to try it out…

so we knew that worst case scenario– a bunch of folks would have fun with it no matter what my super powers turned out to be.

It was deep enough to be fun for everyone–even the little-littles, who have all taken swimming lessons to some degree.

We even found some end-of-the-year bargains on allllll kinds of floaties.

In the end, we found a way. Not a terribly dignified or graceful way perhaps–but the result was me in the pool. So that is a wonderful success- triumph even–bigger, in fact, than you could possibly know.

Thank you my dears for once again making things work in my funny world. You just always do.

I love you with all of my heart.
