The girls finished up an art class they were taking and I was astounded when they brought the final products home. These are just a few of the pastel drawings they did. I love looking at them on our walls everyday!
Hayden was part of a variety show at his school a couple of weeks ago. He was in three performances and did a spectacular job. It has been such a pleasure to watch him grow into a man. Ken and I were just discussing how we can't believe he isn't even sixteen yet. He is waiting to hear back about a great opportunity for a job he interviewed for. More on that later as well.
This little beast had his fourth birthday with all things spiderman. He is so delicious some days I just want to eat him up. He loves to tell me how he can't clean up because Peter Parker doesn't so he can't do it either. When I tell him I know Peter Parker sure does clean up he says no he doesn't because I never see him do it! We've been enjoying going for walks while he rides his new spiderman bike keeping up with the girls-hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be able to keep up with everyone!!
We made and decorated his cake and he had a great day.
I love when the whole family is together. I am always amazed that this is the life I get to live. I've dreamed of having my own family since I can remember and even though we been through tough stuff we survived and I know it has strengthened each one of us in different ways. I feel like I'm moving past old issues and breaking down some serious barriers- with some help of course. It feels liberating and a little scary all at the same time!
We also celebrated out twenty-first wedding anniversary this month. It just has gone by so quickly. We have both grown so much as individuals and as a couple. We rely on each other for comfort and support and are able to find humor in practically all situations. We love our date nights and are eternally grateful for the Love Languages book- a must for all married people on the planet earth!! We are planning a week-end away for the end of the month- if we can get over the sad, sad faces of the little people when they hear we are leaving- I'm sure we can:)
