We will meet again

Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Richard Bach

Life Quotes

In my journey the past couple of weeks I have come across some "life quotes" that I have felt connected with.





To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. – Henri Bergson



The one law that does not change is that everything changes, and the hardship I was bearing today was only a breath away from the pleasures I would have tomorrow, and those pleasures would be all the richer because of the memories of this I am enduring. – Louis L’Armour

Food Dog

What a character!


She is not pretending they are boobs... sometimes in the video it sounds like she is saying boobs but she is saying food. She says "Per food" which means Cooper food, one of our dogs... and she also says "Nattie food" which is our other dog.

When she emptied her dress she nicely put it all back into the dog dish.

Then she picked up the dish and dumped the food all over the floor...haha!

Ellie gymnastics

This is Ellie doing some gymnastics in our living room in June, a back-bend and then a kick over, then a handstand into a back bend.

We are changing studios this year and I hope that she will learn much more than last year. Last year the gymnastics class was mostly for recreation and while she learned she could have learned a lot more.

We Did It!

I took several video's just sharing one... watch it all, she's so stinkin cute.





This Dora was Cassie's, she got it when she was about 4 or 5. She played with it some, Ellie played with it some.. but we have our biggest Dora fan ever now, Elyza, and she loves it!

She pushes through the buttons to find her favorite, swiper, "we did it" song and talking about the color Rosado.

34 seconds into it you can hear her say "Did it!" right after she claps.

And she answers Dora, shakes her head when she can see anything else Rosado.

And puts her hand out to stop Swiper.

C-U-T-E!

Lilkittyy

Lilkittyy is 13 years old and I have started to notice that he's aging. There is nothing overly noticible but I can tell he's becoming an old man and that makes me a bit sad. Hes been with me since he was a little guy, since 1996, and I love him dearly. He's a beautiful, smart and loving guy and I wanted to share some photos of him that I took recently.
