Makes me think of summer and the beautiful, blue sea!

Day 58

I picked Emma up from "school" today, and the teacher instantly commented on her wild "pigtails"...then she called her Pippy Longstocking!  It was very funny. 

Finally it was sunny today which made the 57 degree temp feel like springtime!  When we got home, Emma jumped on Jackson's scooter and let me take a few photos of her.

I really like this series of Emma.  This is truly EMMA!  Crazy hair and all...

Day 57

I am so tired of COLD, RAINY days!  When will spring get here???

It was such a dreary drive home from work that I decided to go through the Starbucks drive-thru (thank you Patsy), and I snapped this photo with my iPhone through the rain.

It is not a great photo, but seeing all of that pink did help to brighten my spirits!

TWENTY-TWO more days until spring give or take...

Day 56

Both boys wore their hoodies today supporting a local 13 year old who has been battling brain cancer this past year.

He appears to be doing well after two brain surgeries and chemotherapy.

I love these hoodies!

Day 55

Brendan and his Confirmation Mentor helped with Communion at church this morning.

I am so proud of him for volunteering!

Day 54

Emma is ready for Carson's Birthday Party...

No one had more fun than Emma today!

Day 53

The kids were out for a snow day today.  Good thing it was already 36 and just rainy when we woke up this morning!  UGH!

B and Jack tried to make the most out of it, and they even shot a few baskets in the rain.

Jackson wore one of the new hats that MiMi gave him for Christmas.  I love the colors in it, and how they bring out the blue in his eyes!

Very proud of this young man and his brother.

Day 51

When I got home from the Y this morning, this is what I saw in our backyard.

There were seven adult deer!

It was hard getting a good photo.  The deer instantly noticed me when I came out onto the porch to take pictures.  I only snapped five photos before the one in the lower right hand corner stamped her(?) foot and then huffed really loudly.  As soon as that happened, they were all gone!
