Day 96 ~ More Mission Bound (3 gone, 1 more to go)

Last night we bid farewell to 2 more young men who are soon to become missionaries! We will miss you Jackson and RJ ~ God be with you till we meet again. The people in Russia and France will be blessed, as will you!

Day 97 ~ A Thing of Beauty!

Call me crazy, but I actually delighted in watching the snow falling this morning, even though it is the end of March! I love the dichotomy of his picture - the budding blossom of the Japanese Magnolia against the blanket of white snow as it bids farewell.

Day 98 ~ My 3 Adult Children

I just came to the realization that 3 of my children have now reached the age where I can legally call them adults. Of course they're still my babies and always will be. I'm very proud of all 3 of them and the awesome choices they've make thus far in their young lives. They are wonderful examples to the other 3 babies who will all too soon be following in their footsteps.

Greg, this past fall, in Jerome,Idaho. He looks so grown up here I can hardly stand it.

Day 99~ Favorite People in my Favorite Place! 2004

This is one of many trips we've taken to Walt Disney World. It's one of our family's favorite places to visit! I consider myself lucky and blessed to be able to have visited as many times as we have! I promised Mark I'll take him again when he gets home.

Day 100 - A Memorable Vacation

So this is actually something I started on Facebook, and I just had the thought that I really should make it part of my blog, especially since I'm so wonderful at keeping it updated! I'm counting down the days until Greg comes home - in pictures. The number of days isn't quite accurate, but it's close enough, and I won't be able to blog every day. It's just a fun way of counting down to something I've been waiting for a long time now, nearly 2 years! And I love to express myself in pictures of my family and little blurbs about them. So it starts . . .

This is a favorite memory from Labor Day weekend 2003 - a canoe trip at Eminence, MO. Fun day but scary - Thomas and I were in a canoe that flipped. I popped up and couldn't find him - he was under the overturned canoe, safe and sound and crying. Can we say panic attack???? for both of us????
