We got a chance to catch up with some old friends tonight. It was a blast! Our kids are teenagers, so they stayed home and made dinner for themselves, but we got to visit with Shawn and Cindy's kids...such great kids!

Jack-Jack had carrots...can you tell? Haha!

The lyrics to this song have made a big impact on me in the past few months, so I wanted to share them with you. Take time this year to ponder your life in relation to God and the people you love in life...it makes a difference!


Seasons of Love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love. Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure measure you life in love.

I just happened to run across this picture and it made me smile. The boys certainly don't look like this anymore, but they sure were cute at that age! I don't have a very current picture to post, but maybe soon.

Life certainly is busy around here. Christopher is going to be playing football in the fall and Ian is looking toward running track. Both boys did a great job in school this past year--almost all A's with a few B's mixed in. Ian also marched in the Memorial Day Parade...his first marching experience.

Scott's still enjoying his new job and had a chance to go to Orlando for a conference with work a few months ago. Next year, the same conference will be in Washington DC and we are all going along. It will be a great family vacation.

Kim's been busy with websites. Some new sites include: All The Good Stuff, Prairieville Farm Days, and Soggy Bottom Labs. So, if you're looking for some great fudge, some country music, or a puppy, check them out! Special thanks to Vicki for a great job on the artwork for the Prairieville Farm Days site!

Since the last post, we have had to move Grandpa into the Alzheimer's Unit full-time. It was just getting too confusing for him to switch back and forth between the settings. For the most part, he seems happy there, but he does miss Grandma. He is Resident of the Month this month, so they are having a party in his honor, which he should enjoy. Grandma is recovering from a recent fall; she fractured 2 vertebrae in her neck, so it's been a rough patch for her.

Guess that's about it for now. Take care, everyone!
