Back to School

Well today was the first day back to school. As I watched my older to children get on the bus, I looked down and realized, I only have 2 little ones left with me. :(

I've been asked so many times about what I would like to do if I had no more children at home. I mean I've had plenty of jobs, nothing as career worthy as child rearing! Just ones that pay enough to cover bills and costs of the next arrival in our family.

I know I have at least a few more years before the youngest is ready, but what REALLY would I LOVE to do if I had the chance?!? Hmmm.....

Headed to Hershey Park...

Well armed with another set of Free Hershey Park tickets, we headed out with my Mother-in-law, and our niece Kathryn. With it being overcast weather conditions for the day, it worked out nicely. The kids had a ball on all the rides, and Ms. Audrey enjoyed the zoo in particular. This year was the first we had been since the opening of the Water Park. (which only adds to the park traffic) Did not get to do many water attractions as the wait time for those was well over an hour and a half. But the kids enjoyed them none the less. I"ll email pictures soon!

Another Day....

Some things I cannot change: my age, who my relatives are, my eye color, my height, my childhood experiences, my inborn talents, my nature, someone else’s abuse of alcohol or other drugs, whether the sun will shine, my job history, what I will inherit, how my parents feel, yesterday’s lost opportunities, how long I will live, who forgives me, how my parents treated me, how much I am loved, the past.


Some things I can change: the youthfulness of my spirit, who my friends are, my hair color, my weight, my adult experiences, my achievements, my character, my reaction to someone else’s use of alcohol or other drugs, whether my eyes will shine, my job possibilities, what I will bequeath, how I feel, my ability to act on today’s opportunities, how well I will live, whom I forgive, how I treat my own children, how much I love, the future.


I thank God for my growing ability to choose.

Trip to Dover...

Christopher's class took a field trip to meet the Governor and present her with a book they made! Well I happened to purchase a local paper, and stumbled upon this photo!!! Upon sharing my findings with Christopher, he said...... "Thank you for purchasing the paper, I only read it when I'm in it. I'm famous now you know!!!"

But he seems to pay no mind to the fact that his fame was cut in half by the girl standing in front of him!!!!

Back again.....

Hope this year finds you all well!!! Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a while. Our house has been attacked by one illness after the other. Between, fevers, mucus, vomit, doctor visits, and antibiotics, I've seen it all. And knock on wood.... Mom made it through without so much as a sniffle. Now onto spring, and baseball... and soon... THE BEACH!!!! Speaking of beach.... I found another one.....


I assume the first sale fell through.... or this person has a case!!! :)
