Sunday's Blessings

It's been awhile since I have had a clear enough head to write. And my nails were too long to type. Now that I have picked off all of my fingernails (thus clearing my head), I feel as though I can sit and type away about nothing.

Or something. Whichever you prefer.

I am loving the warmer temps, sunshine, and the daffodils that are poking up through the ground. Spring is almost here, which means summer will follow soon behind. My deck is calling my name...I'm looking forward to sitting out there and enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and conversations with friends and family that always take place.

Ella is growing, smarter than ever, and excited to plant flowers. She is desperate for a fish; however, she informed me that she wants a tilapia so she can eat it later. I'm not so sure she understands that pets are not for eating. :)

Miles is desperate for us to purchase a hot tub. Apparently, that will up our status in his eyes and make us extremely cool. He already has plans for how the deck and backyard entertaining areas can be set up to maximize the fun.

Dave and I are enjoying life, learning how to live on a budget, and figuring out the whole cooking thing. It amazes me how we have integrated our lives, our children, and our collective futures in such a short amount of time. I am also amazed at how quickly our children have adapted to us and to each other. Just last night, Miles was excited about Ella watching him play football and being one of his cheerleaders this fall.

I am truly blessed.
