In just ONE week...

Mother Nature is sure funny. WE received overnight 15+inches of snow. The great thing is that tomorrow it will be 50 degrees. blah to snow Poor robin redbreast was all confused.

Surprise!

Amika Amazed us on Monday by sitting up all by herself at school. WHOHOO! I looked over and realized that "hey, she's sitting by herself". It kind of took us both by surprise. AND we had to have a picture of Amika's first teacher. :-) We are so lucky to have a fabulous Early Childhood Family Education program. We sing, read books, and network with other parents. We even have artwork on the fridge. It's April 25th today and we are in a winter storm warning. La Nina is really freaking me out!

Here comes the SUN!

Can you guess...

One picture is BEFORE Amika's "gotcha day" MAY 15th and one picture is AFTER "gotcha day". I feel as though I need to explain to some of my "family" members that the before picture she is crying and the after picture she is happy. :-)

We can't wait until the day she is really, truly and legally all ours!!

Happy Birthday Nicolis

I wanted to get the news out to people would say a prayer for our community. In addition to the death there are 4 people in serious condition in the cities hospitals. The band director who was on the bus that crashed is a great friend of ours. I spent the day with his wife. It's pretty surreal now. All the students are home now and I guess the aftershock and mourning will be the hardest part.

When Jessica Weishair was in elementary I remember this shy little smile that could melt your heart. As a high schooler her smile would light up a room.
