Maddie's Birthday
Here is the sign of a guilt ridden mom- documenting their child's birthday, even though it was one month ago! Better late than never, I say, and besides her baby book is still in the wrapper- and I have not lost hope for that!
If you ask Maddie what kind of party she had, she would say a Pink Party. It was indeed, complete with a pink butterfly cake. Her friends made it very special and fun. 
To the Strawberry Patch
Fewer things are more precious to me than watching my children experience new experiences. This is a local farm that offers LOTS of strawberries to pick. They also have an awesome pumpkin patch in the Fall, so we were familiar with the farm. Ben invited his buddy, Jeffrey, so they were in little boy heaven. Maddie was just thrilled to pick and get really dirty. I now have a fridge full of the most beautiful berries, and my camera is full of beautiful shots. The grandparents (Dee Dee and Paw Paw) are getting settled in to their new home which is very close by so we are doubly blessed to have shared this exprience with them.
Now for the show!

Here's a post where I must admit that I am two things. Cheap, and crazy. Cheap, because I don't want to fork out the $$ for these candids(click the title link above)- from the Country Music 1/2 marathon I recently completed. First they are not that great- I really should have been looking up to heaven when I crossed the finish line. Thankfulness and meeting my maker were two things on my mind, so I really should have looked up. Secondly, I am crazy for doing this run- and for the record, my time was 2:27!! Not the 3:10 in the photo- that difference is the time it took me to cross the START line. yes, really...anyway, I only trained for 4 weeks-that was crazy. There were approximately 32,000 folks that ran the race, so there, I am not alone in my craziness! This officially makes two and 1/2 marathons I have completed. I would do it all over again too, because the group of women I went with were AWESOME! and they made it uber-fun.
Now, if you think I continued my wonderful training schedule.....I wish I could say I had, but alas, I did not. but it has only been two weeks, so I really hope to jump back on the wagon again.
Hopefully someone can read this and get motivated!- like me!

Easter!
Hello to all three of my blog readers! I am sorry I have gotten behind- but Life just happens. Thanks to Public TV and a late sleeping 2 yr. old, I am going to try to slip in some Life-happenings. First of all now that it is May, I thought I had better document Easter!! It came very early this year(Mar. 23)- so, wearing white shoes was a little beyond me, but Maddie did.
We were lucky enough to get to visit my Grandparents at their home of MANY years during the Easter holiday. What a blessing this was. The kids enjoyed a breezy day on the farm, and Ben enjoyed exploring the old barn. 
We started a family tradition this Easter. I am choosing to record it here, because I will likely forget it before next year. As a mother in her 40's I feel it is prudent to do this.
The night before easter we dyed and decorated eggs and leftthem for the easter bunny. On the eve of Easter, he visited us and hid all our eggs- this year he hid them outside, and an animal enjoyed one of them-(note to self). On the morning of Easter, we found treats left where our eggs were, and then we went outside to find all the hidden eggs. He is a very creative bunny.
