“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”

Super Reader!

Sienna has fallen in love with Harry Potter. She is currently on the third book. I am so impressed with her passion for reading. I think we might have to stop after the third book for awhile though. They're starting to get a little scary/intense.



Rip My Heart Out

Remember how I was celebrating about a month ago that the Tanners moved to San Ramon and we got to live by each other for at least six months? Well, Scott is awesome and got rolled out of his program early and so now they're moving pretty much immediately to Houston. Heart broken. I'm losing a good friend and my kids are all losing their special buddies too. Not to mention that I am now missing out on new baby snuggles in April. We will miss you!

My Best Friend's Wedding

I flew out Saturday morning to OKC for Jamie's sealing and dinner. It was a really great day. Jamie and Sam were both sooooo happy. My heart is so full. I have waited for the right guy to come into Jamie's life and Sam is perfect for her. I cannot wait to watch them grow as a couple and family.

Sacajawea

I was able to sneak in and see Sadie give her report on Sacajawea. She was so brave and did a great job. The teacher and I both laugh as we talked about Sadie's preparation going into this report. She was so caught up with the fact that Sacajawea carried a baby with her for most of the journey. She brought it up multiple times in a conversation and wanted to talk about it over and over again. When it came to her presentation, she only mentioned it once but she thought it was so neat. I loved her teacher's feedback. Although Sadie had some struggles during the report writing process, her teacher was so pleased and impressed that regardless of the situation, she always made sure to find the good and point out the positives in Sacajawea's life. I am grateful my kids are known for looking at the good in things. I hope they stay that way.

More Playgrounds

We try to do something active or go to a park almost every single day. The girls are really good about getting their homework done fast so we can play. The weather isn't as warm as it was a couple weeks ago, but it is still so nice. In fact, we prefer it to not be hot yet... it's only March. Oh, and Ava is obsessed with swings. She loves them so much.
