It just happens too fast!

 

Our little Avonlea is already

The darling little smiles and the sweet cooing...

 for her Four Month Celebration!!

Snuggles

 going on around here!!

Gardening...

 

We have been blessed with a

couple of beautiful weeks of sunshine...

and of course, that is just the invitation

 to begin this year's

time in the

 

garden!

 

 

The wonderful feel, once again, of that warm sunshine on your shoulders!

 

 LOVELY!!

 

And everyday brings something new...

 

such a blessing!

Hope you are enjoying your garden as well!!

Turning Five...

 

I was so tickled that Greyson thought it was a great idea

 to sit for a few pics for Nana!

 

 

I had him tell me all about the new shirt he was wearing...

 he had received it for his Birthday!

 

 He thought it was pretty funny that

Nana did not know

 all the facts about

 R2D2!!! :)

 

You never know when you are going to get to learn
something new...

AND take a few pictures!:)

Greyson turned 5

 just four days

 after his brother turned 6...

so it has been lots of fun trading all these numbers around!

 

  He has the sweetest heart...and is the best helper

 outside with the hose!!

 

Too fun to share both boys and their

 

Birthdays!!

Turning Six...

We have been having LOTS of birthdays in our family the past few weeks...

and one of them was our Hudson~boy...

he turned SIX last week!

 

 

It was so much fun to visit his classroom

 for his little party!

He was super blessed when his teacher read to him out of his Birthday Book!

 

 All the children had written what they liked about Hudson.

You could tell that their

kind words

meant a lot to him!

 

 

And if the sun is shinning...how about

 some extra time on the playground,

 with his brother Greyson...

 who turns FIVE tomorrow!

 

Brother Buddies for sure!
 

 

Hudson has a very tender heart for others...

And especially when it comes to his  new cousin!

Birthdays are such a great day

 to love on that person!!

 

 

And...of course all the fun Birthday Dinners and Deserts!! :)

Hang On...

Every spring I am fascinated by how my Clematis "hang on"!

 

 

They encourage my heart to "hang on"!

They do an amazing job of wrapping around

and clinging to the support or trellis.

We have several friends, as we are ourselves,

 in a season of waiting on the Lord...

for some large and painful situations.

 

May we

 

 "hang on"...

 

"cling"...

 

"wrap ourselves around"

 

 the Rock

 Who is our sure foundation...our sure support.

Newness...

Reminders of Newness...

 

 

From the new blossoms of Spring

to His new mercies each day...

 

 

thank you Jesus
for the cross and the empty tomb...

that enables us to partake of
Your Resurrected life!

 

 

 

May your Easter be beautiful!

Baby Love!

 

These sweet pictures were taken almost three weeks ago...

but I just couldn't resist still sharing!

 

This Nana is having too much fun and loving on

darling Miss Avonlea!

 

Lindsay had stopped by, and I commented how perfect the light was just then in the living room

...so of course, out comes the camera!

 

 Daphne was taking just as many pictures as I was,

so perhaps she is the one who snapped most of these pics!

 

 It was sure fun!

 

And to think she is now SIX weeks old!!!

 

 

 Ahhh....

they are so little for such a little time!!

Every moment is a treasure for sure!

 

How many times can a Nana say

 

"B L E S S E D" !!!
