Jamming in July

Oh my, am I ever behind!! Sorry kids! I will put some more quarters into your therapy jar, since the huge gap in my ability to capture your sillies may cause some sort of emotional trauma later! Just remember, part of why I am behind is because I so focus on your emotional traumas now as littles that I don't get to blog! :) Ok, and I will admit it... on the nights when I am not working until the wee hours, I've been sneaking in some "Glee" episodes instead of updating your blog.. Please forgive me and remember how much I love you guys! So, here are some shots from July 2012 so far!

...Papa and LM out on the Ice for the first time!!!...

I was SO BUMMED I missed this, but also really happy for Jeff who rarely gets any "firsts" with the kids by himself! LM has been just dying to go play hockey like Papa... and so here is his start! He loved it! and the grape soda treat Papa got for him after!

...Lots of backyard sprinkler play...

...my boy kids nap on their favorite corners of the couch!!...

...Granddad Carl and his petite youngest granddaughter...

...Gamma and her gaggle of cuties!!...

...It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere, Modified Location!...

...First Ever "Kids Table" at a Family Gathering...

Laura said...: I'm really trying hard to catch up on blog time, too -- I completely understand how time slips away and it's so hard finding the time it takes to update. For me, I update because I feel like I want to document so much of what is going on in K's life ~ because part of her life is "undocumented"...make sense? But I usually have to do it at the expense of a restful night. Oh, well...someday, we'll both look back at our blogs and be so happy we kept them up!

SC is precious -- her smile contagious. And LM is getting so big!!! I love the tan that SC is sporting...I'm so jealous of her!

Enjoy what's left of summer!

Hugs,

Favorite Sayings..

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb. 11:1

"A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. "

"We think that poverty is only being hungry, naked, or homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty"... Mother Teresa

"Occasionally in life, God presents a path that requires a leap of faith to travel. The trail head looks very promising, but the trail further on is certain to be arduous and long. Those of us on the trail together are going to have to make it up as we go. Yet the vision toward which we travel is life-giving, and the journey will stretch the soul." -- Neil Hamilton

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

"If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing." - Sir James Barrie

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. m. ghandi

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good things, therefore, that I can do... any kindness that I can show a fellow being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. - S.Grellet

The smoothest way is sometimes full of stones.
Yiddish Phrase

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”

"Your attitude, almost always determines your altitude in life."
