Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I know...it has been since Feb. 17th. I'm not going to make any excuses. We have had a few good weeks, a few not so good, several great days and a couple of really tough ones to swallow. But...we are still here. Everyone is healthy and I know two folks whom are desperately looking forward to SUMMER!




We had a good week this past week. Mason is communicating so well. I ask him each day to tell me about school and he comes home with more and more info each week. He is really growing up fast it seems. Since he can understand most everything and reply or question the things he doesn't, he seems all grown up. :-( He has been a daddy's boy the past few day though, and I have enjoyed that!


We went on a barge ride Saturday with Aunt Monica, Uncle Ray, Kayla, Caden, Aunt Jaime, Gigi, and Granddad. Mason always seems to have fun with his cousins. They played and tickled and ate everything in sight. This picture about sums it up.

We lost a dear loved one last Sunday. And with her loss, the services in her honor, and the time with her family, it made me remember an often overlooked part of our time here on earth. We are only here but a moment. Each person in our life, children, spouses, parents, friends, are all from God, but not our personal possessions. Our good Lord both gives and takes in His time. Appreciate the "pearls" your are surrounded with for "God doesn't cast pearls before pigs." Matt. 7:6. Mrs. Helen gave Mason the children's Bible he loves to read and I think of her each time we open it. She will truly be missed.

I will do better with blogging. I promise!
