Perspective

Are you still reading NieNie Dialogues? Sometimes I need a good jolt of reality, it's so good to be reminded of how wonderful (and delicate) life really is. I don't want to take for granted the precious times I have with Samuel. So I'm leaving my dirty house work behind and going to the zoo!

If you happen to be the one person in blog world that doesn't know her story go here and enjoy.

~Life really is good~

Beach Day

We've had perfect weather for the last few days.

Saturday we took a trip to the beach.

These are the days that I wish could last and last. . .

my Son the Photographer

Samuel has recently learned how to use the timer button on our camera and he LOVES to take pictures! One day he kept going and going (don't worry I'll only show you the highlights), I was in fixing dinner and he kept yelling "c'mon mama" so I'd run over in to be in the shot. For some reason he has a pose he likes to do - putting his hand up near his eye. I have no idea where that came from. Funny kid!

Easter Weekend

The fun began on Friday with an Easter Egg Hunt at our church. Samuel got really excited when he found an egg, but was easily distracted by other kids, toys, chairs to climb on, pianos to play, etc. In the end he only "found" a few eggs, but he had a great time. On Sunday morning he had a wonderful time discovering the basket, toys, and treats the Easter Bunny had left him. Then after church we had some friends and family over for dinner. It was a nice weekend. . .especially nice because Pete was off all weekend!

My Little Chef

A friend suggested (kindly of course) I stop being such a control freak and let Samuel climb up and help me cook sometimes. I took her advice and we made cookies yesterday. It actually was pretty successful, of course he ate the cookie dough the entire time, but he had such a GREAT time. It was a lot of fun - and doesn't he look so proud of himself!

So, in my defense, I do let him help me clean up all the time. Just a few days ago he helped me clean the beaters.

who could ask for a better helper?
