::hello::

 

hello Aunt Becca and Hazel

hello sweet Carol and Rebecca

Hello precious wide-eyed baby

Hazel took her longest car ride yesterday and she was so much fun.  Lots and lots of smiles from her.  And TODAY, her sweet Aunt Amy is here to visit. So I promised Aunt Amy that she can have all my cuddles with Hazel plus her own.  :)

Five Guys for dinner tonight with friends.  Hurry up, supper time!


 

::a few of my favorites::

I really should get back to the regular programming here.

I've had some sweet little things pop up into my life lately and I thought I'd share a few favorites here.

 ::For my birthday, the kids I nanny painted this sweet mug for me at a pottery shop.::

::It came filled with $50 in Starbucks cards.::

::Hello, best boss ever.::

 ::this skirt from Talbots::exaggerated awwwwwesome::

 ::this little girl lights up our lives::

::and she's getting a personality::

::and she's starting to recognize Aunt Becca::I'm finally getting a smile and head bobs out of her::

::international phone calls from this man::

I think I'm going to save the story of me and Leon for another date and time.  And for now, the way you'll learn about him is by me randomly dropping hints.  So in the last two posts, you've learned his name [Leon], that he's a dairy farmer, and that I receive international calls from him.  [I wonder where?? :)]

::my Nook Color::

::I love, love, love, love, love it.::

So, how's that for a list?!!

Have a wonderful weekend filled with lots of love for your Mother.


 

::new::

When I woke up this morning, the word on my mind was NEW.

I went to bed early and woke up so refreshed this morning.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are NEW every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

Here are some NEW things in my life from the past week.

a new baby -- our dear friends' baby -- we cannot stop gushing -- she is simply adorable

new buds on the trees -- many, many trees are popping out buds because of this delightful weather

new cabinets -- new organization -- hallelujah

Anything new in your life these days?
Happy Monday!!
