Spring......

I feel like that song Oh Where, Oh Where are you tonight...I long for spring. I know per the calendar spring is only a month away. I am doubtful that March 20, 2010 will feel like the first day of spring.  The day will be special you can be sure, since it is Taylor's 4th birthday. But I'm longing for nice days and sunshine.

All last week I was sick, Loren's sick too. I barely got dressed last week, I wore my nightgown all week except for the brief moments I threw on my sweats to go pick the kids up from school. One day, while I was trying to find my tennis shoes so we could go pick up the kids, Taylor says to me "Grandma, you need to find some shoes for your age" ....hummmm what the heck?  I need to find shoes for my age?  What does that mean exactlly? I did not dare ask her, she was dead serious.

Today Taylor and I had another discussion. I'm with her all day long so we have a lot of those. I was fixing her hair so we could go to the store, and she said "make my hair pretty grandma" I said "of course I'm going to make your hair pretty." She said " sometimes you don't" hahahahah She is so funny. I thank God everyday that he has given me these kids. They have added so much joy to our life.

Utah January 2010

The last year was horrifically hard on our family. This year although it hasn't been easy, there is hope and light that times will become easier for all of us. On Wednesday, January 27th we had a family dinner at the Roses house. Matthew's family and Laura's family were all there, we had a great time. Grandma and Taylor had traveled to Utah, so it was so fun visiting with grandkids/cousins (for Taylor). Here are a few pictures that I have from that trip. Our good friends Rhonda and Ted were there too..
