A Roller Coaster.....

I feel like I'm on a Roller Coaster and the darn thing won't stop to let me off......

Spring is usually a busy time of the year for me....but this year, man-oh-man, I'm holding on as tight as I can and just enjoying the ride.

I still have not posted pictures from Mother's Day [and my thoughts of my first Mother's day without my dear Mother.......it has been very hard and I still am weepy for no reason at all these days ~ I don't know if it has to do with all the 'stuff' going on, or watching my own baby getting ready to graduate and move on to college....I said 'Good-bye' to my Father and Sister and her family [as they left on a trip to Ireland to visit my Mother's family]. I seem to be having a hard time with saying 'good-bye' to people, even if I know it is only for a short while. Rick has been on a long trip around the world....so I'm flying solo, taking care of it all.

But even though I have had some 'weepy' moments.....the laughter and joy has been great to over come any moments that are too solomn.

This is my most favorite time of the year. I take great pleasue in just 'inhaling'.....as spring air has to be the most intoxicating air! My love having my hands digging in the rich, dark soil and marval at all the new life sprouting up around me.

Emma Sage has taken on my love of spring.

We have T-ball this week, baseball, State Sectionals in Track, Prom, Premier Opening of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', Otto's Birthday, Memorial Day parade and laundry, gardens and a house to clean!

Here is a few pictures that I was able to capture of Miss Emma Sage dressed in her dance recital costume that we had to put on for her formal pictures that were taken Saturday.

and I will someday catch up with pictures and thoughts [Maybe during the lazy-hazy days of summer!]

Waiting.......our appointment was for 9:51 am...........we got there 10 minutes early.....we ended up waiting over an hour. Ugh......

Thank goodness for mirrors [as Emma Sage will entertain herself for hours in a mirror]



and this was the only picture of my little dancer that I could get of her with the whole costume in the picture [and by this point, she was finished with camera's and dance outfits!]
