Enjoying Spring








Notice my little girl likes holding hands with her buddies... so sweet... the oldest boys help look out for her... even if she DOES DRIVE THEM NUTS!

I have a stockpile of photos that I love from the last couple months of activity and fun. I didn't sit at the computer much lately. I need to finish off the trip to Illinois even if it is just for our records.

We do have a good group of kids here and I am so happy with the parents. It has always been important to have good communication and support from the kiddos parents! I have grown a lot from running the daycare... it's something I had no explicit training for but know there are several moms out there that would love this opportunity. If there is anyone out there who is wanting to start a business I'd love to share from my last few years of experience!

We are anxious to finally hear if our insurance has approved a gluten sensitivity test rather than the standard blood tests for Celiac Disease. I still scratch my head to figure Kira out... dietary issues make sense for the most part... her gut and immune system definitely seem unique from birth. Four of her teeth will be shaved down and crowned on June 30th at Children's Hospital while she is under GA. I hope her adult teeth are not being damaged as they are developing!! I know she will enjoy some nice white teeth, I hesitate to photo her smile up close. Hopefully most people haven't even noticed their poor condition. Every parent just want their child to be as healthy and happy as possible!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!











YOUR HAND IN OUR LIVES SUPPORTING US THROUGH OUR SUCCESSES AND OUR FAILURES.

GENTLY LEADING US ALONG, SHOWERING US WITH ENCOURAGEMENT AND WISE COUNCIL.

YOUR HAND SHOWING US HOW TO REACH OUT BEYOND OURSELVES.

YOUR HAND TO HOLD WHEN WE ARE TIMID, WHEN WE FEEL ALONE.

YOUR HAND TO POINT THE WAY TO THE FATHER, THE SUPPLIER OF ALL GRACE, WISDOM AND HOPE.

WE CELEBRATE YOU TODAY, HOW THANKFUL COUNTLESS PEOPLE ARE FOR YOUR PRESENCE AND TOUCH IN THEIR LIVES... ESPECIALLY "US."

*I wrote this as we celebrated your last Birthday and thought it perfect for today... hopefully by the time your home from California your package will be waiting for you. A Happy Mother's Day to you... Kira and I send big hugs and kisses!
