Don't Blink, Life Goes Faster Than You Think.

When we hear that Memorial Day is coming we think of the kick off to summer. How exciting. We open the pools, pull out the grills and sit back and have a cold beer. Sometime the true meaning gets lost. Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. These service people dedicate their lives to protect our country & keep us safe. The next time you see service men or service women, take the time to thank them for their service. After all, they & their families have given up a lot to keep you & your family safe.

I was a deprived child. I was never allowed to have fun with chalk & write on the sidewalk. Come on mom, it's not like it's graffiti & won't come off. Just one good rain & POOF, it's gone. As a mom I know what fun it is to just go CRAZY with chalk. This is what happened when I gave my daughter her chalk. Okay, so she spelled welcome wrong but you get the idea that she is welcoming you to our home. Creative, don't ya think?

It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from within you- the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God. 1 Peter 3:3-4 N C V

This weekend marks a landmark in my life as a parent. My daughter, my baby, made her First Holy Communion. I now feel that we are complete as a family when we go to church. She now can accept the body & blood of Christ with us. God Bless you my precious baby & may he keep you safe.
