Woo Hoo!

The tree is up and it's not even December!

(A far cry from the year that it got decorated in January...)

So Much For Which To Be Thankful

I am blessed beyond measure...




If you look closely, you can read Isabel's answer to her teacher's question: "What are you thankful for?"
Her answer: To snuggle with Mommy.
(Be still, my heart.)

Chinese Lessons: Week Three

Bye-Bye Barbie Mane

So... after a wonderfully lazy Sunday afternoon nap, I woke up to a flower on the table beside my head. My sweet daughter had gone out in the backyard and picked it for me.

(Apparently, that was not all she did while I was asleep.)
Perhaps a future in high end hair styling?

At the Beach

You roll down the window
And even before you see it
You smell that salty, ocean scent
You already know you're there
At the beach

As you walk on the shore
You feel the sand filling the gaps between your toes
You hear the soothing sounds of the waves
At the beach

There nothing better than the beach
Where beauty was given its name
Where Happiness cannot be expressed
At the beach
