For love is sufficient unto love....

Today, we helped two of our dearest friends celebrate their anniversary of six years at Buca di Beppo. Joe and Grace, as well as John and Jenny helped us to honor Finis and Jean, and their commitment and love for each other. We are fortunate to have such a loving circle of friends!

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart",

but rather, I am in the heart of God."

New little quilt

It seems to get harder and harder to find time to quilt! But I did finish this little quilt and have another one ready to bind. I so enjoy making Jo Morton's designs, using her reproduction fabrics...the colors go with everything! After I finish sewing new curtains for the sewing room, I hope to do some more quilting...there is one pinned and ready to quilt.

This morning, as I watered my flowers, I just had to pick a few and make some arrangements to place around the house. Here is one of them sitting on my new little quilt.

On the deck.....

Jordyn was lots of help building our new deck. She really wanted to operate the drill, but was content to distribute the screws!

We are getting closer to being done! Can't wait!

Now where is that hot tub??????

Caleb is 5!

On Monday, Caleb turned 5.....how time flies. He is growing up to fast! He recieved several new costumes, and it was great fun to watch him model all of them for us! I think he is a drama queen....who knows, maybe he will be in the theater? I love his imagination and verbal skills. He is so much fun and very much a blessing in our lives.

God is good! He has blessed me with wonderful, loving children and grandchildren, and a loving, devoted husband. My cup runneth over.

Birthday Boy!

First Birthday!

Yesterday was Jack's first birthday....a year can sure fly by so quickly! What is Jack doing at one year old? Mainly climbing and trying to keep up with his big brother!

He can climb up the ladder to the top of Caleb's bunk bed, and has been known to climb to the top of the slide at the playground.

Ahhh! the smell of nitro!

Last Sunday, we went to Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas.....to the hot-rod races. It was my Christmas gift to Jim, and my first experience at a major race. It was noisy and it was HOT! and it got hotter as the day went on. I was quite surprised at the concussion that I felt every time one of those cars took off. And I was so glad to have ear muffs on!

Matt and Jim had a good time, and surprisingly, Jim wore out before me! Would I go again? Maybe........
