All Things Bright and Beautiful

There are so many people who touch our lives in ways they may not notice, but to us become an integral part of who we are. Thank you to all the women in my life who have given me pieces of themselves so I can be a better mother, wife, friend. Happy Mother's Day to you all.
Daniel's birthday was yesterday and we had a busy day. It started at 4:30 am to bake cinnamon rolls for the YW bake sale and Daniel's birthday cake (he wanted cheesecake with a motorcycle guy on it).  I knew I should have done it Friday night but honestly, I am a bit of a procrastinator (ask any of my friends who saw me writing my English papers the day they were due, during our break). Maddy and I went up to the bake sale for a bit, then came home in time to give Daniel and his friend sundaes. Adam and I made dinner and had Lilly up to celebrate with us. Funny thing happened. Took the cake out of the fridge and wouldn't you know it, half the cake fell because I took the foil off the cutting board without realizing it. Thankfully the well decorated side stayed in my hand and the cheesecake fell straight down, so preserving the look of his cake anyway, so he could blow out the candles. We had a fun day though. Daniel, you are such a fun and joyful and loyal person. I am amazed you are already 6. I love you!
The boys did a show at school that was loads of fun to watch. They did such a good job I had to include some pictures.


Easter morning



Adam and I just had our 8 year anniversary. He is a bright and beautiful part of my life and I am immensely honored to share our joys and frustrations of life with one another. I couldn't ask for a more giving and compassionate person to be the father of my children and the holder of my heart. I love you HDD.
