When the Wind Comes

Each day brings choices....when you get lemons...make lemonade.  When it rains.... splash in the puddles.  Then the wind blows.... "go fly a kite!" So, in our wide open spaces of life in the country, we got out the kites, and some other "extras" like a fishing pole. We laughed until it hurt, smiled, and ended up loosing 2 kites in the process.  It was well worth it, the four of us had a joyful evening running around the yard in the company of the ones we love. 

The girls are such powerful forces of stress relieve and joy! One of the MANY joys of parenthood is the ability to let the World go, be a kid again, and take in the the simple joys in life!  Leave it the girls to encourage us to let all our cares go to the wind and let down our guard ... daily fun in the country, all we could have dreamed of!  God is so good!

School Spirit

 

The entire family enjoyed the night at the administrator "tailgate" party.  The girls put their shy on...for a short bit...then they warmed up to meeting the people that Mommy works with.  The football game was rainy so after the cookout we headed into town for First Fridays Downtown.  The stores were open late so we did some shopping, bought some hair bows, held hands, and made memories!  WE love the shirts that Kevin made for the whole family....school spirit!  The Principal's family needs school shirts, Kevin took care of us, as usual!

Go ND!

 

Ella was not overly excited about the win for Notre Dame, but she did have fun playing in the basement.  Tessa was into the game, for a short bit!  It was more enjoyable for them to eat in the basement and "play, play, play" as they say!

So Big!

Farm girls at heart! Daddy loves his girls, and he loves tractors....here you are Daddy.... all the joys!  It was fun for the girls to get in the big tractor!  They look so small, especially in the big wheel.  Ella told us she wanted to be a farmer...a girls after our own heart! 

Ice Cream

Couldn't resist taking a photo of our family fun Saturday in the basement! 

It was topped off with family movie time and cuddles!
