"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Spring Fever

Yesterday was such a nice day, so we decided to take Emily to the park. The girl LOVES to be outside!! I have a feeling we're going to be regulars at the park now.

Everytime we go to the park, I swear she gets more and more brave! I think we've got a roller coaster girl on our hands!

CHEESE!!!!

I thought this was cute.


Sometimes I wish she would just smile instead of being silly!! She sure is cute no matter what face she pulls. What a fun time! We ended our celebration of the beginnings of spring by grilling hamburgers. Nothing says warm weather like grilled burgers!!! Now that we've gotten a taste of the warm stuff....it's probaby going to snow again!!!!

It's so fun seeing her turn into a little girl instead of a baby, and seeing how much joy she has in life. I love the picture of her and Geoff on the swings! So cute!

She is such a cutie! I love that her and Leah are such good friends! I am so excited to spend the summer at the parks with you two! It's going to be so much fun! Thanks so much for taking her the other day! You are a total lifesaver! I need to get you paid this week, I meant to pay you yesterday and forgot! Sorry! Thanks again though! Emily is adorable! I'm glad she got a couple of days outside before it snowed again, YUCK! I can't believe it, I hate the snow!
