To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Easter Joy




Easter was such a fun day. Watching the little ones searching for the goodies spread across the dead winter grass was great. Even though the kids were all bundled up and freezing since it was snowing. Yes, Nevada really knows how to have a celebration of spring and new beginnings!

However, today would be a much better day to have that celebration. The windows are all open and fresh air is streaming through our house chasing all of the stale winter stuff out. What a smell the spring air has. It even smells like newness. It lifts those dull winter spirits too. It was getting pretty bad around hear, I think we all had cabin fever and winter blues. We took Taylor to feed the ducks and play at the park too. You could really see that she was soooooooooo ready for a nice day and a romp at the park.

Isn't it time for spring?


We should be wearing the big hats out in the sunshine by now. Is there a spring time grinch who has stolen our spring. We had such a great time at our family get together dinner Friday night, but the wind kept blowing out the BBQ. Although the coolness of the night made for a nice San Francisco type of fog to form in our patio around the hot tub. I wish that we could put short video's on these blogs. I have the cutest one of Taylor and Meadow in the bathtub laughing thier heads off. If anyone knows how we could put it in the blog let me know. I am so glad to see Tami joining our blog forum before she moves away so far. This way maybe we will be able to keep in better touch.
