Happy
Since the start of the year my blogging has been mostly pictures and very few words. Today I would like to share just a bit from the inside:
There are many thoughts in my head and some spoken aloud to Lottie during the day and at night with Gio. Occasionally on the phone with a friend or written in a letter, but most of the time I am alone with my thoughts. Lately I can't help but to think about the many blessings of simple everyday life.
There are many around me (near and far) dealing with loss, sorrow, and health issues so many little stumbling blocks in the way of "happiness". Life is not always easy, if it were would we really feel satisfaction and joy with out the struggle? I think NOT.
This is not to say that it is good to always have terrible things happen- but when they don't are we HAPPY? are we THANKFUL for what we do have?
I for one I am happy for my Health- I feel good. My family is healthy and this makes me HAPPY! I am Loved and I Love others too- this makes me HAPPY and GRATEFUL! My Basic needs are filled, as well as many of my WANTS- this makes me GRATEFUL! There is beauty around for me to enjoy! JOY!
Don't know if it is the newness of LIFE in the air that Spring brings- but I know that I need to acknowledge the goodness that makes me smile!

Postcards from PARIS
Almost last minute we decided to head to Paris for Easter Weekend to visit with friends and enjoy all of the blooming beauty that spring offers! Leaving Friday night we arrived a little down due to Gio loosing his phone on our first flight and being unable to track it down (sad), however we were so happy to be on a mini vacation and see our dear friends that 1 phone less was no big deal. We spent our time relaxing and walking most of the major sites. When we spent 3 months there 2 years ago I was able to "see and do" most all the touristy things- (Gio unfortunately worked)so we just wanted to take it easy. We watched some movies and Gio got in a few games of Chess with Richard! Our gracious hosts treated us so well while there- THANK YOU Elaine and Richard we Love you!
Check out a few of our memories below. Have you been to PAris? What was your favorite memory?
Highlights:
*Trying Escargot and liking it!
*Charlotte eating a chocolate Easter egg 4 the first time
*Playing on the lawns at Trocadero and enjoying the view of the E. tower
*Brunch nearly everyday
*Chess matches
*Eating Crepes on the streets
*Great weather
*showing Charlotte around

Baby S
Welcome to the world BABY S!!! You are so dolce! WE love you!!!
Lottie and I went to visit friends today- Look how sweet little "S" is, just over one week old! SO SWEET!!! Lottie was pretty surprised when "S" started crying and realized she was REAL, no dolly here!!! She got to work on saying "baby" and doing the sign that goes along with it. Lottie was very happy to try and snuggle up on baby S.
In preparation for S's arrival I helped Mommy Michelle make most of the bedding and other details for the new special room! We had a blast doing it- learned that neither of us can sew a very straight line, but that it is so fun to work on projects in more then one! Thanks for giving me something to help out on, I really enjoyed it!
I also made a diaper cake for baby S including a binky clip, burp cloths, nursing cover and a car seat tent the topper was a little pair of reversable kimono style booties, wishing I had a picture of the cake it turned out so Cute!
