Beautiful Monday

Last night, while watching Celebrity Apprentice, and working away feverishly away on orders, a little box appeared soon: President Obama had an announcement to make.

I teared up, when I heard the news. My husband and I watched TV late into the night; our hearts were so very happy, our souls so very very thankful, and our persons so very proud.

Amazing. I am so very very thankful for all the men and women who support our nation, either away, or taking care of things on the home front; for all the children, who understand why mommy and daddy are not home.

What a beautiful weekend! I, gently, explained to my children the news this morning. They were so happy to hear there are still super heroes in the world.

Celebrating 5

A couple weekends ago, we left our little city in the dust and drove to a bigger city to celebrate this little mans big 0-5!

He may be little, but his size is not a true reflection of the size of life this little guy has lived. This year he will move to his fifth state, his 7th home, his 4th school....

He will discover more about the world, will hide his toys in a thousand more crazy places to drive me nutso, and will dream up more schemes like "wanting to buy paint to paint lighting bolts on Mommy's car"....

He will try, fail, succeed, love, dislike....

He will wake me up at the crack of dawn, like he always does, ready to take on each day. HE was born ready, while my other son knows how to kick up his feet and relax, he takes on each minute of the day with intensity.

He makes my heart happy....

and I am glad he has claimed such a big part of it.

Spring Break Staycation

This week is Spring Break. Which doesn't mean too much when I only have one child in school and for only a half day, but still it has been nice to be without much of a schedule.

This week I am loving these new tags that will be on all accessories (excluding some newborn props). EEK! and I LOOOVE yarn! Crochet/knitting is so awesome because it is a super inexpensive hobby to get started (you just need a hook and some yarn!) and the possibilities are endless> an empty canvas if you will.

I am loving how proud this little man is about losing his training wheels.

I am loving art, cuddles, and a WEE bit of online shopping ;D

I am REALLY loving our new neighbors who keep bringing US tasty treats ----Winning!

I am LOVING the longer days! hello sweet sunshine

I am loving this little guy who was jealous of the cupcakes and wanted some pictures of his own.

I am loving that my husband started his new training in Texas (he is Air Force) and we are dreaming up where we may move next!!

What is making your HeartSmile this week?
