Time Flies
Wow how time flies. I can say I am behind in most things these days. I have had a few things on my to do list for years (talk about procrastination) and today I FINALLY checked one off…I ordered my Shutterfly 2010 family photo album. I screeched with excitement and made Gress give me high fives. He looked at me funny wondering what in the world I was squealing about. Yes, I am giving myself a little pat on the back all while breathing a little sigh looking at the 2007 and 2011 albums still on the to do list awaiting my creativity! I had to ask a photographer for some photos to complete the book…thought I would share..
The grass is growing….
We have a new look over at The Gress is Always Greener. Check it out. It was about time we grew a little don’t you think?

California Dreaming
Yesterday the boys and I were neatly dressed and heading out the door to go to the library for story time and to check out some books….that was before Rad walked outside and said, wow, it is warm outside. I got a BIG smile on my face and then decided to let Gress decide what he wanted to do today…the library or the beach? As much as I wanted to go to the beach, I knew there was a lot involved to getting us there. If we went that direction that meant changing clothes, packing lunches, packing the car for the beach stuff and it was already late in the morning. If Gress said library, I would gladly be ok with that. If he said beach, (which I was secretly hoping he would), then we had to kick it up a notch. He chose the beach! THAT’S MY BOY!! It took a minute for us to gather everything especially after having to console Mcree who fell on his lip and was bleeding, which followed with him getting a popsicle, which followed with Gress crying because he couldn’t have one (mainly because he was the accidental cause of Mcree now looking like he had botox).
I think I smiled the WHOLE way to the beach. And as I walked down the boardwalk, I realized that I needed to be with my boys, in this beautiful landscape. It renewed me, it energized me, and it reminded me just how thankful I am to have this time with the boys..in my favorite (and I think their favorite) place of all. THANKS Rad for the prompting and THANKS God for reminding this California girl to get back to her roots!
As I was downloading the photos, Gress said, “Mom, when can we go to the beach again?” I wonder the same thing!
