Life is Good

It maybe too hard to read but the sticker is a butterfly and it says, "Life is Good!" - I love this sticker, I need one for my car. This one was spotted on our first evening at Eya and Poppy's - a good sign for the fantastic time we had.

You can't have too many noodles!

The water was still a little chilly but that did not slow Alyssa down.

She had the pool to herself and enjoyed every minute of it!

What is she thinking now?

Taking a ride in Eya's new car, in ten years it may go to Alyssa - we'll see, anyway we love it! Here's Alyssa doing her new favorite saying, "Peace out, suckers!" At least she is promoting peace, right?

Alyssa and Eya in "their" car - probably not the last time I will see her head sticking out the sun roof!

Alyssa and her Poppy checking out the river - let's hope she did get her height from him. Yes, Life is Good!

My Daughter Grows Up

My Daughter Grows Up

Life is fleeting, years rush past...
and little girls grow up so fast!
Let me take time out to be
glad that mine's still here with me.
And though I'm busy through the day,
let me take time out to play...
Let me take time out to smile,
to linger with her for a while...
To invite her under the table for tea
and dress up silly as can be.
Let me take time out to sing
and dance and skip
and twirl and swing...
To splash in puddles when it rains
and make her fancy daisy chains.
Let me take time out to hear
about the things that she holds dear.
Let me tuck her in at night,
hear her prayers, turn off the light.
And for one more moment let me pray
and thank God that we shared this day!

I do not know the Author, I read this at our last Daisy meeting for the year. The top photo is from Alyssa's First Day of Kindergarten this last photo is from the end of Kindergarten at her new favorite store, Wonder Works. Another year done gone!
