Disney 2010

There were a lot of pitfalls to this Disney vacation. My hope is that the boys were able to have some fun and can look back on it with a smile. ;)

New Smyrna, FL.

The boys had a great time running and falling in the surf! They were SOAKED by the time we left which was just long enough to get wet and enjoy the nice beach breeze. Sigh.... Next time we will stay until the twitch in my eye is gone. ;)

Franklin, NC

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything.

We spent the afternoon in Franklin, NC. panning for gems and getting in some much needed family time. Andy seemed to really get into the whole idea of panning for a semi-precious stone. Sam was more interested in playing in the water and eating grapes. LOL! That's ok. They both will remember it for years to come.

It's so nice to see the boys play without a care in the world.

I am in one of those moods....

"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love."

Missed Opportunity...well not really.

Missed opportunity implies that there was a chance. Let me tell you, there was NEVER a chance that I could afford the trip tickets. A bunch of KMM fans are leaving in a few days to tour Scotland and I REALLY would like to go. Inverness UK is on the must see list and, as far as I'm concerned, the only place to go.

Never one to wallow in self-pity, I've chosen to watch Inverness videos on Youtube and to look at Inverness pictures on Photobucket. You know, live vicariously through others.

Look Here

Oh well, the trip wouldn't be much fun if Scott couldn't go with me. One day we will take the trip of a lifetime. Right now we are having the trip of a lifetime raising two boys.

Name Change.

I was waiting for inspiration to help with the title of my Blog. The 4th of July was my inspiration. Hope you like the new name.

Fireflies and Firecrackers

The Fourth of July is my son's favorite holiday and after this 4th, I can see why. It was a WONDERFUL day for us. We stayed at Pat's house and celebrated with family and friends alike. Our day was filled with food, laughter and playing in the pool. About 9:30 the fireworks show that Pat's neighbor always goes overboard on, officially started. Though Sam didn't make it to see, from my less than favorable vantage point, it was grand! Andy was able to get a front yard seat and watch the action. Boy I tell you, he's going to remember it for the rest of his life. The actual fireworks were HUGE and lit up the night sky with a rainbow of colors. My view was obstructed, but there wasn't a place on earth that I would rather have been. The quiet of the house, Sam sleeping upstairs, the fireflies fluttering by the window I was looking out and the oohs and ahhs from the family members who braved the outdoors, will replay in my mind for years to come.
