Disney on Ice

Tomorrow we leave for Disney World, so this past week we gave the kids a prelude of what is to come and took them to Disney on Ice at Hershey. Celebration of 100 years of Magic, the kids truly loved it and have talked of nothing else, I can't wait to enter the Magic Kingdom.... MomMom, Baby, AA, Aunt Missy, Alec and Erika and I all went, had dinner and then went to the show. Enjoy the photos.

Easter morning Photos

My sister in law and her family visited for Easter morning. Here are some photos of the Easter Egg hunt where the Easter Bunny left 328 eggs in the yard. The kids has a great time and were excited with opening all the eggs. The hunt took almost an hour. Enjoy!

Rainbows

My daughter ( and my son at one time too) belong to the church group of Rainbows. A group of children age 3-5 that get together each week to learn about God. Earning badges of animals to Noah's ark while sharing in the Savior's love. They have a song:
I'm a rainbow, a promise of God's care
I like to share my happiness, with my friends everywhere.

Recently, over the past week, there have been spotting of Rainbows at the house. While anyone at the Schuylkill Health School of Nursing can attest, we read about Rainbows when taking the fit test, and how they are a prism of light. A rainbow is a spectrum of light that appears in the sky when the sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. So of course there is a scientific answer to why there are rainbows and my right brain can attest to all of them. However, the sightings here at home, have had way more meaning. The Bible states:
"God said, 'Here is the sign of the Covenant I make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all generations: I set my rainbow in the clouds and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between me and the earth." (Genesis 9:12-13)

"When I gather the clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will recall the Covennant between myself and you and every living creature of every kind. And so the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all things of flesh." (Genesis 9:14-15).

"When the rainbow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is found on the earth." (Genesis 9:16).

The rainbow, the sign that God will see us through the storm. Lately my heart has Eric on it, morning, day and night. Then I think about the rainbow, a sign that God will see us through the storm, he will ease our troubles, and keep us in his care. When I saw the rainbow, I can't help to think that God is telling me that he is there to help me through the storm. I pray that my family, sees the rainbows, knows that my God loves them so, and he will hold us through the storm.

Happy Birthday TT

Ok, so I am a day late and always a dollar short, but not in love or wishes. Time just seems to get away from me lately, so I apologize.
Yesterday was our oldest daughter's birthday. She is stationed in Germany right now, and we miss her daily, but happy that she is enjoying it. Here are the top reasons we love T.T.

** Her spirit is gracious, she would do anything for anyone, and that is in her soul, beautiful.
** Her red hair......would kill for that color.....lovely
** The way that you love A.A.....he looks up to you and is so proud of you.
** The way that the baby knows you, and can't wait for you to come home so you can play BARBIES
** That you have made a choice to serve our country, the same choice I made, and I couldn't be prouder of you for that.
** I picture you in so many different ways, marching in the band, playing with your friends, trying your take at track and field, driving with your friends....reminds me of the song: "I hope you dance".
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.


I hope you always dance T.T.
**That your daddy thinks you hand the moon and stars...and I do too, you are a great daughter, friend and woman.
**That you have touched my life in such a way that I will be eternally grateful to you. You have brought laughter to my house, joy to my life and love to my heart. I will be a better mother and woman for knowing you, loving you and sharing moments with you. I miss you, can't wait to see you..... Happy 20th Birthday sweet sweet daughter. May you know how much you are loved, today and ALWAYS!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Semi-Formal

Pictures say it all......perfect!

Thursday with Megan

So today, my daughter in law took our daughter out of daycare and had a girls day. The baby barely slept last night and I was concerned that she may not be in the best of moods today. But much to my surprise (and I don't know why I am surprised, because she loves Meg so much) she woke up in a great mood. Ready for daycare without a problem, loads into the car and the questions begin to fly. When is Megan picking me up? Why is she not here? Where is she? Why, why, why? But you can be assured that by 1000 Megan was at daycare getting her baby sister.
One thing is for sure, they love each other. You can see it so clearly with every interaction they have. Its like, they look at each other, and understand each other completely.
So as I get it from the baby, they went to Wendy's which was super good and "yummy" chicken and french fries. Then they went to Megan's house.
"Megan friend my hair mommy" She got her hair done with glitter, fingernails painted, " me toes too mommy" and then topped it off with McDonald's play place. So I asked her tonight, "Does Megan rock?" Yep, as she nods her head. "Me love Megan" "me hug Megan and kiss her too ......alot".
After I picked her up which was 6-615 ish she was sleeping before we went 50 feet in the car. Once home, the tales of joy that she tells of her "girly girly day" sounds magnificent. So Megan, thanks for making my daughter happy. Thanks for blessing our lives continually. Thanks Faith for loving us unconditionally. Thank you Father for the continued blessings of our daughters. Oh how we love them so.
