Life

Life is so busy these days. I need to remind myself to slow down and take a breather. Yesterday I decided that there was enough doom and gloom going around so I was going to try to make a difference. I went to the bank and to the store. Every one I passed I smiled at and said "hi how are you?". People were actually taken back. I find that sad. I also made a point to really talk to the person that was waiting on me. I told them what a great job they were doing. How I appreciate their service and smile. Who knows it might have made a difference in their life. I urge you to take a minute out of your busy life and make some one else day!

Winter or Summer

Well it is suppose to be Summer but right now it feels more like Winter. We have had below average temps. We had a nice Weather last weekend so we went to Grandma's to Enjoy it.

Seth David Blanchard

Came into this world June 21st 2005. It was one of the best days of my life. I had a scheduled C-Section and he made his appearance at 11:50. I thought he looked like his Daddy. He stole a part of my heart that day. He is my "full of life" little boy. He makes crazy on most days but always does or says something cute to end the day great. His new thing is wink. Thank you Jesus for my Seth David. The world is a better place because of him. He challenges me to be a better person and Mom every day. Happy 4th Birthday Seth! Love you so very much.

Tristan and Dana's Wedding

We went to Pineville NC June 18th for Tristan and Dana's Wedding. It was an amazing time. They had a Beautiful Wedding. We were happy to be a part of their special day. I cried a couple of times. Exceptionally when they said their vows. They were hand written and so beautiful. Our prayer is that God bless them both in the Marriage and that they are as happy as we are.

We have a new Cousin Miss Mara

Jana is going to be one

Wow.... I can not believe it has been a year. God has done so much. We love our Jana Elizabeth so much. We thank God for her daily. I can not wait until her Princess Party. More pictures to follow.

Jana and Kate BFF

There is a great big world out there, I hear it can be a fright.
But take my hand and hold on-I know we’ll be alright.
Best friends we will forever be.
I am so happy; I have my best friend right here with me.
Our journey will be great, lots of fun, and even intense…but how bad can it be when you are with your best friend?

In August a couple from my Parents Church received a Blessing from God and her Name is Kate. Because of have already been given a Special gift from God I wanted to meet her right from the start. I have prayed for her since the day she was born. There is no mistake that God put he in our lives. I have gotten to know her Mom and Dad and they are wonderful people as well. How wonderful is it that Jana will have a friend that will understand her better than Jason and I ever could. God is so full of blessings and is so giving to his children! Thank you God for Baby Kate!

Girls Gotta love em'

A baby girl...
one of the most beautiful miracles in life,
one of the greatest joys we can ever know,
and one of the reasons why
there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness
in your world today.
