A great family Sunday!

Today was the annual school picnic.  The kids love running around and hanging with their friends.  The weather was gorgeous! We had a great family day that started with breakfast, followed by the picnic, dinner and more outside running outback with the neighbors.

3/52

We were at the park enjoying the gorgeous south Florida January weather. Here are my words that come to mind .... In a world where friends come and go, I am thankful for the lasting friendships built right within our home.

Just some more park fun!

With the day off of school today, we had to enjoy our time.  We spent the morning hanging out, lounging in our pj's with no hurry to go anywhere.  We then went to the movies and followed that by a picnic lunch at the park.  I love days off!

2/52

I have been inspired by a blog that I read to do a series called the 52 series. I have always loved how a simple photo can catch the beauty and blessing of a moment. A moment that can never be given back. My love for photography and writing will certainly be nourished with this project.  This is photo 2/52. I need to backtrack and do a 1/52. My 3 most amazing blessings all in one picture AND looking at the camera. This was the girls first day of a 6 week soccer clinic. They loved it! This is really cool, as Carli typically doesn't run to try a sport. Let's just say she is a dancer and cheerleader at heart. Lexi, well this girl will play any sport, and if I must say so myself, is quite athletic. The guinea pig .... thats Lucky the guinea pig. He HAD to be in the picture. Gavin, he is just L-I-V-I-N, cause that's what he does. This kid seriously makes my heart explode. I am posting this weeks to share the idea, probably won't post them each week.

A park play date, even to include the guinea piggies!

Today we enjoyed the beautiful weather.  The girls have been dying to bring the guinea pigs to a park play date ..... well, today was that day.  The smile on the faces of all three of them when I told them they could bring the guinea pigs.  The little things! I have to constantly remind myself of this.  We got to the park and the guinea pigs were the immediate center of attention.  All the park friends loved Lucky and Clover.  Lexi did a nice job of letting and controlling many friends wanting to hold them.  Carli a little bit more nervous, but she showed of Lucky with pride.  We may or may not have caused at least 3 families to go purchase guinea pigs.

Mini golf!

Finally, seems like Gavin is over the flu.  We needed to get out of the house.  The weather has been really crappy, but temperature wise, it's been nice.  The kids have been to miniature golf one other time (for a birthday party), actually Lexi has been twice (an additional birthday party) and had a blast.  Momma thought this would be the perfect thing to do to be able to get out of the house and pass away a few hours.  Gavin even got a hole in one.  I couldn't believe it!

Ringing in the New Year. Good-bye 2013, Hello 2014



Here's to worrying less and trusting more. Here's to embracing each day to the fullest, whatever each day may bring. Here's to letting go of the negative and accepting only the positive ..... positive people, attitudes and beliefs. Here's to following goals and making dreams come true, no matter your age. Here's to living with compassion and to giving and not always taking. Here's to good health. Here's to lots of happiness, lots of joy and many adventures. Here's to living with no regrets. Here's to making new friends, loving your true friends and letting go of the superficial ones. Here's to living each day like its your last, as we are never promised tomorrow. Here's to an amazing 2014! Happy Happy New Year!
