Jack is obsessed with motorcyles and keeps talking about how he's going to ride one FAST when he "grows up"....I'm having images of a teen-age boy living up to his toddler dreams.
Marah wants to stay little forever so she can have training wheels on her bike. I told her I think they make tricycles for adults... she got a good laugh out of that.
Autumn is so amazingly talented in anything she does- sports, gymnastics, school, crafty stuff... she's going to be very handy to have around:)
Ryker has a job and has even gotten a promotion and raise!
Hayden has been spending lots of time with his girlfriend- who we love by the way - we just keep warning him how people in our family find their spouses in high school so watch out!
I can't wait to go away for the week-end with Ken. I miss spending time with him!!
Turning forty has been a time of lots of reflection for me... much better than freaking out about my age!
While I've been sick I've watched P.S. I Love You three times in the space of two days and cried like a baby each time... and now I want to move to Ireland or at least visit!!!
I'm growing increasingly disturbed by the state of our country... luckily I have a friend who reminds me of the eternal perspective.
For those of you wondering my perfume has still NOT arrived:(((
Akuna Matata!!! I went to see The Lion King with a wonderful friend and we loved it... we also had a great lunch and time to talk which has been sparse lately- oh the joys of family responsibilities:)
I love the changing of the leaves- although it can never compare to the beautiful fall colors we grew up with it is still pretty-...I'm just not looking forward to the season that comes after fall... I need a vacation just thinking about it!
Why oh why am I always teaching the young women lessons that make me feel so hypocritical... seriously self-control and caring for our physical bodies are not exactly my strong suits!!
I'm continually amazed at the direction my life takes and the blessings that I have... really too many to count!
