Oma & Opa...late night calls

It was 11pm at night, so I called my Opa up (he is a night owl), about my struggling evergreens and what to do with them. He answered, as always, and gave me some solid advice. My grandparents are not  distant to me, no I rely on them heavily. No one can garden, can, sew, cook, clean things, like they can...and if I was closer we would have once a week Oma & Opa trips. At least! But I cherish the relationship we have built with our distance. In Heaven we all be next door neighbors!!!! Thank you Opa for answering my late night calls, and Oma my constant questions through the days, love that I can always count on you! 

It's Spring...Right?!?!

On the calendar spring has started...but I'm not feeling it! And oh my word are we ready to get outside! The other night after the kids went to bed I did a "Quarterly Evaluation" of my 2014 Goals. 

While I have gotten back into working out (thanks to a super convenient cute gym 2 minutes away), and cooking more than two new recipes a week, I HAVE NOT been blogging. And this makes me sad because I love looking back and reading on my days with Jack at Lucy's age. Is it bad that I am already forgetting things? The blog brings back all of those wonderful memories. Jack at 4 is too sweet and funny, my best friend and co-parent during the day, I need to document these things. Lucy at one and a half, she is tornado of trouble with the prettiest stinkin' face giving out big neck hugs that let her get away with anything. 

Also, I am convinced that I take way too many pictures and it takes a lot of time to just go through them. Excuses. Pretty certain I could come up with fifty. It's out there I have been slacking in the blogging department and plan to step that up. I mean if I can learn to do yoga and figure out how to make cauliflower delicious I sure can figure out a way to sit at the computer for 30 minutes 3 times a week! 

And let me not forgot about the daily "blessings". This occurs 50% of the time at the dinner table and 50% of the time in the car. Jack loves coming up with his daily blessing! Love that new tradition!
