Pictures and Some Lyrics

I don't have much to report about the weekend. Saturday, we had soccer. Anabelle played a little bit. They kept asking her if she wanted to go in. She was very content to guard the cooler. In fact, she told us on Friday night that she was over soccer and ready to try ballet. After soccer, I did some yard work. At some point, Josh, Russell, and I hung out on the trampoline while the big kids napped. Sunday, I drove to Nashville and back for a baby shower for my best friend from high school. She is due in June. She looked beautiful. It is always weird, though, to see your high school friends grown up and pregnant:) Before I left for Nashville, I found Jack in the bathroom surrounded by heaps of toilet paper. His excuse for taking it all off of the roll was that he needed a telescope. I understood and let it slide:)

I have some pictures from Easter and of the cat. Puddles grows on me everyday. People usually compare cats and dogs. After having Puddles, I feel like that comparison is about like comparing apples and oranges. I love dogs. I now love cats. They are very different... just depends on what you are going for. Oh! I almost forgot! We have a ton of foxes in the woods behind our house. Saturday night, 3 of them played with each other around the kids' jungle gym. One took off running up the road. It was really cool to see them. 

I am also putting some lyrics from one of my favorite songs. I listened to the song yesterday while traveling, and the words seemed to fit with my last blog post about plans.

We are supposed to get crazy weather today. I expect to be in the basement for most of the evening and tomorrow morning.

Happy Monday!

Jack losing it because I asked that the minion not be in the picture.

Post-Meltdown. I am losing it at this point.

I am happy, but everyone else is miserable:)

Russell has now busted out of the bottom of his outfit. John John has strategically placed his hand over the mishap for the picture.

Probably the best one they took. Russell is not looking, but we will call it a dramatic pose.

The minion has officially made his presence known.

Puddles this morning looking for action off of the deck.

Striking a pose.

She was trying to figure out the camera. I was kinda scared the flash would throw her off balance resulting in a fall off of the deck...

My morning partner

Silly face




These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine
These are the days now that we must savour
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
You've got to hold them in your heart.
