Fun at the Botanical Gardens


Butterfly on Claire's hand!

Fishing at the pond.
Wizard of Oz tree house.



Claire had a great time at the Botanical Gardens in Huntsville.  There was a traveling 'tree house' exhibit with 13 tree houses for the kids to play on!  They also got to release butterflies in the butterfly house.

thought for today

once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act..... Prov. 24:12

My gardening buddy

We have been working on our garden this week.  Tessa has been 'helping' in her own little way. We planted squash, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, corn, and green beans. We also filled the turtle sandbox.

Spring Break finale!

We enjoyed many fun times on Spring Break.  The kids loved Busch Gardens!,  Tessa ate her first 'crackers with sand',  the ocean was glorious and most of all, family time was precious!

Happy Spring Break~




We have been enjoying our Spring Break in Indian Rocks Beach Florida!  Oh how the sun and surf can calm the soul.  Tessa loves her freedom at the beach!  It has been so good to just relax and have family time!

Thought for today

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously
My own.
Never forget
For a single minute:
You didn’t grow under my heart,
But in it.

One tired little girl and one busy girl!

After lunch Tessa fell asleep in her highchair, then Claire worked on her Easter 'lamb' treats ! A good time was had by all!

Some new skills

Claire taught Tessa how to use sidewalk chalk.  She is thrilled with her new skill!  She also has learned how to pet the kitty "Rascal" without her running for the hills.  It takes some doing but she has mastered the art!
