Happenings

To whom it may concern:

The weather is beautiful!  We have been enjoying the sunshine, fresh air and blooming flowers!  Lately on our walks, which don't happen as much when the weather is not this beautiful, Will has decided he is done with his stroller.  SO, we have to walk at the pace of someone who has an 11" inseam.  You can imagine.  I love every minute of it!  I love how he exclaims! every observation!

"White truck!"

"Leaf!"

"Doggie!"

And my personal favorite, "TRUCKBOOOOOAT!"  This is a truck, pulling a boat, and it actually sounds more like "guhk bow!" - ha.larious.

Other things have been going well at our house, normal stuff like:

John printing out enough coupons online to get 10 cans of tomatoes for free from Kroger. 

Me having it "together" enough to make shamrock cookies for St. Pattys.

Will deciding he hates his church shoes.  Good things his sneakers are brown, you can wear sneakers as dress shoes when you are two.

In other special events, we attended the Arkansas Angel's Pageant on Saturday and we amazed at the beautiful girls we saw!  The AA pageant is for girls with disabilities like cerebral palsy and spina bifida, we only stayed for the 6-9 year old category, but it was the sweetest thing! 

I probably got choked up about 10 times, not exaggerating, but I felt so blessed to be there!  I was so amazed at the strength of the families, of the mothers (oh, the amazing mothers!), who love, care for and rally around these Angels.  I feel blessed to be close friends with one of these contestants (who happened to be crowned "Most Bubbly Princess"!) and I truly admire her mother and all she gives to her family.  

I was glad Will was there with us, to cheer for these beauties, he was riveted (for the first 30 min...) by the music, the dresses and the atmosphere.  I don't want him to take his health for granted.  We are all God's children, and our bodies are just temporary vessels, but physical health is a blessing that I know I take for granted too often.  Someday we will all be made whole and perfect, won't that be a show of beauty!


Last random bit of info, I was totally turned on to a new lotion by a friend at a baby shower a couple weeks ago.  I have seen it before, bar lotion, that you rub on your skin.  Anyway, I think I am going to start making it in my home and see if there is a market to sell it here in town??  Check it out on this website, it's totally natural, only 3 ingredients.  More on that later when my supplies arrive... 

This concludes my random post.
