My village- friends

I am truly blessed to have the most wonderful friends.  I have been leaning hard on them for the past year and they are as strong as ever.  Each one has a special gift they give me.  I am never alone and I never feel unloved.  Last night, they took me out for some me time.  We had a blast.  I'm going to do individual blogs about each one very soon.  I love you guys!  You are the best!

Greeen Eyed Lady, lovely lady

Strolling slowly towards the sun

Green eyed lady ocean lady
Soothing every wave that comes

Green eyed lady, passion's lady
dressed in love she lives for life to be

Green eyed lady feels like I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free

(Organ solo)
(long instrumental break)

Green eyed lady, windswept lady
moves the night the waves the sand

Green eyed lady ocean lady
child of nature, friend of man

Green eyed lady passions lady
dressed in love she lives for life to be

Green eyed lady feels like I never see
Setting sons and lonely lovers free

July 4th, 2009

After nap time, we headed to the Daniel's for some July 4th festivities.  My camera remained in my purse for the first few hours, whoops.  Nathan played in the little pool and sprinkler with all the other boys.  It was all boys except for the 3 mommies and a little bitty 11 day old, Lilly.  When it started to get close to the time you would expect the sun to go down we headed outside.  It was a late night for the boys.  I tried to get Zach to sleep in the pack and play, but no dice.  After an hour of crying, I gave up.  Nathan had a total come apart when we had to leave, but the evening was awesome.  I just love to watch my boys, big and little, play and play and play.  Seriously, when you send 4 grown man children to the fireworks stand, you should expect a spectacular fireworks display.  We still don't know how much the spent. 

Brenda

I have recently reconnected with an old friend from middle and high school.  Unfortunately, it began as an email from Sara about the sudden, tragic death of her husband. Brenda was 8 months pregnant at the time.  The accident happened less than 1 year ago, but she has a beautiful outlook on life.  She is the proud mommy of 3 beautiful boys and she is thriving!  Here is a link to a recent, uplifting blog entry.  

Father's Day 2009

My goal for Father's Day was to make Eric feel like the most loved and special daddy ever.  Nathan and I picked out the best card that played a sweet little song and allowed Nathan to record a message.  He said, "I love you to the moon and back and back and back and back and ..."  About 20 backs.  We picked out a couple children's books about Daddy and Son.  We also picked out a picture frame for a sweet picture of Eric and his boys.  On father's day, Eric got to  sleep in.  Then I mowed the lawn while he watched SpongeBob with Nathan.  We went to get some lunch, went to the pool after naps, and finally cooked out for dinner.  I made my specially requested chimichurri sauce.  It was a great day and Eric said he felt very special.  

Ahoy Matey!

Nathan turned 4 on Saturday.  We had a big pirate party in the backyard.  I truly hope he made lots of happy memories.  His birthday wish when he blew out the candles was, "I wish we could all be friends forever." So sweet!  He has come along way, baby!
