IF NO ONE ELSE NEEDS THIS LITTLE REMINDER I DO....VERY ENCOURAGING WORD!
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And when you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, but they stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit!

A Kodak Moment
We have a room upstairs that we have a table set up to play games. The family had been playing games and then my sister had to go to work for a little bit. The games were going to continue when she got home.....but things became very quiet upstairs and when we went to investigate here it what we found.....Zachary sitting on the table, head on the game that was to be played and SLEEPING!!! Talk about giving mommy a heart attack...after getting over the shock of the scene I HAD to count it as a Kodak Moment...ENJOY!
Not sure whether he is praying to win or what LOL
AWWWWW....prayer time is over now it's nap time! Zachary actually fell asleep while waiting for Aunt Hannah to come back. Unfortunately, he did not get to play the game.

Happy Belated 27th Birthday!
Yes, I am 2 days behind again! Hannah Eve was born on March 29th, 1981. She joined 2 sisters and 1 brother. Yes, she is the BABY! She doesn't like to hear that (HEE HEE) because she is 27 years old now (LOL), but being the Older Sister I get to remind her of that regularly. Getting serious now...(ahem ahem)... Hannah has brought much joy into our lives. Oh as sisters or even just family there are many ups and downs, but we still stick together. Thanks for being there when we've needed something. I know it's been frustrating being 'single' but hang in there....If a man is in God's Plan you will find him. We love you! Happy Belated Birthday, BABY SISTER!

Easter Pics
Not all is wrong when things go quiet in the play room. This is where Zachary was found when he was being so quiet....fast asleep in the toy box! Yes, he was actually sleeping in this picture. He emptied the toy box, climbed inside and went to sleep. How could I pass up this picture! He's so HANDSOME (yes I am prejudice in this case LOL)Friday, March 21, 2008
