Max

Max

Well this past March I celebrated a pretty big birthday.  My middle daughter and her husband surprised me with this new addition to our family.  Now this was a complete surprise to me, well shock actually.  I had not mentioned
wanting a puppy, but my daughter thought that since we are empty nesters we would need something
to keep us busy!  Well this little Yorkie certainly is doing that.  Full of energy  he has entered our lives at full steam and keeps us on the go. We are back up to getting up (even on weekends) at the dawns early light.  Our for his morning
walk.  It has been a long time since my husband and I have been up and walking at 6am, but there is
something magical about being out at this hour as the world comes to life.
This is going to quite a summer I am sure with a new puppy, and 2 year old granddaughter and a new
grandson.  Maybe there is a children's book around the corner about the adventures of Max, Lilly and Liam.
Stay tuned I am sure there are going to be plenty of stories to share!

Four Weeks

Well we are four weeks away from the due date of my grandson's arrival. I was set back to tears when I received this photo from my daughter's most recent untra sound. I feel like I already know him and yet can't wait to officially meet him. At the present time he weight 7pds 5oz. I think he is going to pass his sister as far as birth weight. But there is something magical about seeing him in the womb like this.

Dear Sweet Liam I am so ready for you to arrive into this world!!!

Colored Eggs

Easter and Colored Eggs

It has long been a tradition in our family to make colored eggs for Easter. This year is the first year my Granddaughter can actually participate. Unfortunately she was so sick with a very high fever that she could not have as much fun as we had hoped but she still got to pick her color. Now I will use the eggs to make my Easter bread. That is my mission for today. I hope it turns out as well as last years!!!!

Spring has Sprung

The weather has been picture perfect on this Spring break. The gardens are coming along and blooms are popping everywhere. This is my favorite time of year, so many colors and making plans for the summer ahead. While spending time in my garden is the most rewarding adventure, I have to admit I am not as young as I once was and after a full day yesterday my body is aching. On to prepping for Easter Dinner on Sunday. Today was a day spent at the Farmers Market and Trader Joes. All the goodies are bought now let the cooking begin. Gotta get my Easter bread going later today. Off to pick up my Ali from college this afternoon. We will indeed have a full house this Easter.

Off to Market to prep for Easter

Photos from the Farmers Market this morning.....too many goodies and I have to admit I could not resist the goat cheese with cranberries
