Lately...

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. 
-- Charles R. Swindoll

Morning-Creating art.

Sunny day- A stroll through the neighborhood with her lamb

Putumayo Kids- Hooray my Cd arrived! I'm part of a moms-meet group online,
and as one of my rewards, I chose to receive this CD.  It includes some songs from around the world.
So we have been dancing and enjoying our mornings.

Block-building, and some hammering as well.

I've started a new journal. -

Life can sometimes get somewhat hectic. -When it all seems to calm down, and our days seem a little longer, and a bit more peaceful; I enjoy the moments I spend with my family. This year; will be much different from last year. I'm always ready, and happy for a change. It's the cycle of life. 

I've been slacking a little on my blogging. -With sunny days, long walks, clay sculpting, block-building, book reading, and some journal writing.- I'm a little behind.  How have you been spending your time?  

**Thank you to all my lovely readers, I appreciate all of you. Also, I'm so happy that you all enjoyed the printout I provided for pretend Vet play. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.**

    Hi Stephanie, I love the quote and the photo of your daughter's stroll with little lamb. Your mom's group sound wonderful. I joined a local neighborhood group when my children were younger and I got a lot out of it. The CD sounds fun. It's great that you're enjoying time out in the sun! Enjoy your day.
