To my surprise

 Hi Friends and Family! 

This week we continued to cheer for our favorite team - what an exciting game even if we did lose. I've been struggling with what to write about this week because I knew I hadn't taken many photos to add to the blog.  Well, it turns out Sister had something else in mind. 

Imagine my surprise when I flipped through my photos and found these...

Oh my heart be still - this silly little girl was entertaining herself and I had no idea.  She got a hold of my phone while in the car and she knows how to unlock my phone and away she went with selfies. HA!!!   I'm in awe of how much this little one has grown. No longer the preschooler or even the new kindergarten student, but is truly becoming a little girl. She's past my hip in height these days- yikes! I think I'm going to be the short one of the family some day. Beyond physical changes, I see the social and emotional changes that go with growing up too.  She has already begun to stomp away and with attitude in her voice saying she just needs her own space. Oh dear - what will our teenage years be like. Cordova friends - you all remember Papa said he would 'be in charge when the kid turned 13 right?'

Other than a typical busy week we did find joy in finally getting a few inches of snow. We desperately need so much more, but we will take what we get.   

 

 May each day be filled with a busyness that does good for those around you and always remember to take time for yourself to relax and rest up!

Have a wonderful week everyone.
