Memorial Day Weekend

Yep, Liam forgot to put his shoes on before leaving the house!

Novak chased Liam all the way to the curb.

Liam and I had special time at Caribou this morning...he got coffee(hot cocoa)too!!

What a beautiful, gorgeous, busy, hard-working, family fun weekend!! We finally completed the front landscaping job, enjoyed hours of sun and fun with the kids in the yard, attended the Memorial Day parade in west duluth, hosted supper tonight for family and friends and signed in new tenants in the rental properties.

We love long weekends!!

My little blessings...

Sometimes life drops a big dose of reality right in your lap...and you're forced to stop for a moment, take it all in, and react as best you know how. The life lessons you have learned influence and guide you along as you deal with the, sometimes harsh, happenings of life.

Last night as I tucked Connor into bed I asked him to keep me in his prayers. He turned, grabbed me around the neck and squeezed..."I love you mommy," he said.

Life is rough sometimes but my 3 little blessings give me the strength to move gracefully through the tough times.

Quick Post

I was without my camera for awhile so not too many pictures to add. Things here are good: kids have been battling a cold but the winter was good to us so we'll take it. Mother's Day was perfect with catered meals, painting projects, alone time with a long run, and a hot tub with my little ones! We stayed in the cities a couple weeks ago for Dan's last tennis match. Novak had his first swim and loved it!! He splashed and played for about 25 minutes...it was awesome! We celebrated Papa's 65th birthday last week. He picked the perfect seat as he was surrounded by all his grandkids for supper! Novak's 1st Twins shirt.
