On Top of the World!

This past weekend was a special one for Whine 2. She is our most independent and unpredictable child so we are never quite sure what each event with her might bring. Friday night was the Spring Concert at her school. She waited all week to get to put on her fancy dress and big brother wanted to look his best too.

The evening began with a pasta dinner at the school. Since Christian was wearing a red tie, I wasn't too worried, but both girls were well covered for the meal.

After dinner it was time for the concert. Jayna might not be the most cooperative during rehearsals, but when it comes to the show, she gives it all she's got!

I do not believe that it was an accident that she was standing next to her teacher, Mrs. Arin, throughout the performance.

The final number was a song she had been practicing for weeks and Daddy and I have had a lot of fun with it too. They sang "Believe it or Not." Jayna was definitely "walking on air".

No coincidence that we have since started watching episodes of The Greatest American Hero.

That night Jayna was definitely my hero. 

Check out our great deals!

Put the baby in the stroller and join me for a workout.

It's Raining, It's Pouring, Soon I will be Snoring!

Are you familiar with the phrase, "When it rains, it pours?" Usually this is referring to what seems to be a deluge of challenges coming at us all at once. I am grateful that God sends us challenges in groups. I tend to be a person who dwells on a single negativity even when it is in an ocean of wonderful events. Just one bad thing drowns the positives and gives me the grumbles. Well, when I have days when it pours, there are too many negatives to focus on any one of them. I find it much easier to block a group of events rather than a single event that plays over and over again in my mind. That leaves me open to focus on the sunshine that is there - and they are there no matter how much rain the day had.


While running errands today, Hope brought a smile to so many faces as she waved, played peek-a-boo and blew kisses to those around us. I will easily fall into a peaceful slumber imagining those precious blue eyes.

Tomorrow will be full of its own challenges. We'll start the day off with a great workout with Baby Boot Camp. And then return home to finalize our items for the Pasadena Community Church Children's Consignment Sale that opens to the public on Friday.


Hopefully I'll be able to sneak onto the computer to blog about the great weekend we had.
