Thanks for your encouragement in my last post You are some wise women. And I had a moment of weakness (I actually have them a lot but don't post in the midst of one). 
Let see...there has been LOTS going on. Last weekend my mom and dad and grandma and grandpa went down to the park for the Tulip parade. It was gorgeous but Gram and Grampa were the hit. They are so very cute at the ripe age of 81 and 85. Grandpa isn't doing so hot these days so any amount of time spent with him is precious.
We have had absolutely gorgeous weather here. The kind that allows for open windows and the smell of apple blossoms to flow through my home. Clearly we have enjoyed some ice cream treats...and lots of time outside with our friends. I absolutely love the month of May...and June...and July
Yesterday two of my clients cancelled so I was able to stop in and see an old friend who just had her 4th baby as well as meet a new friend for breakfast. It was glorious. On the way into work I had the windows down and a fun song blaring on my radio. I don't get to do that often as I usually have kids in my car and Veggie Tales in my cd player. So I enjoyed it...I felt so alive and I remembered to back to all of the fun things I have done in my life. My mind floated over the truly amazing people that I have been able to call "friends" the past 28 years and the crazy and fun stuff I have been able to do with them. Memories are such a priceless gift from God. I realize bad memories may not be something that we cherish...but even those allow you to "feel". I don't ever want to be numb...to just float through life and not genuinely feel the good or even the raw hurt of pain. I want to feel life. And I did that yesterday while driving down a back road with my windows down and the radio playing.
Today is chaotic..but beautiful. I had a Mother's Tea at Landon's school this morning. He had made me all kinds of stuff including a "corsage" and a "My mom is special picture." The kids sang us a few songs and then we had fruit and pumpkin bread together. Then one of my best friends from high school dropped by and we basked in the new found knowledge that she and her husband are having a baby boy in about 4 months. Now my kids are down for naps and I have presents to wrap, a cake to bake and decorate, food to prep and other random stuff to do in preparation for Noah's second b-day party tomorrow. How can it have been two years? I have absolutely no idea. Monday morning will dawn May 11...and two years ago at 3:11pm it will have been two years since we met our Joy Boy. I suppose this means I should take the Welcome Home Noah sign down from his door?
