A Star for Our Angel

 



"Perhaps they are not stars,

but rather openings in heaven

where the love of our lost ones

pours through and shines

down upon us to let us know

they are happy."

~Eskimo Proverb

To commemorate this day

a star

has been named in Jayce's honor.

 

And not just any star,

but one in the constellation,
 

Ursa Minor,

 

which contains the Little Dipper!

 

So, Christa & Robert,

whenever you glance up to the sky

and find that

very recognizable star formation,

just feel the love flowing down...

and let the happiness seep into your soul!

 

~~~

Since this really is a joint gift

for the two of you,

we officially declare today

Parent's Day!

 

Much Love from

Mom, Mish&Charlie, Jess&Peter, Rae&Joseph

 

 

 

 

 



Christa's Version of a Scenic Tour

 

 

Christa and I had

Lucas and Liv for the day,

so off we went for an adventure,

and

I turned the keys over to Christa...

 

Here is her tour of scenic historic St. Augustine...

 

 

When the paved road ends, keep on going...

 

Barricades! Now what?!?

 

 

"Uh, how DO you get out of here?!?

 

 

Turn around, obviously...lol

 

 

 

Christa,

I think you are definitely

off the beaten path!

 

At least now we know what street

NOT to turn down next time!

 

But at least now I know where a

 new graffiti wall

is next time I need one

 for a photo shoot!

 



For the Love of....Clover!

I'm a lover...

 

of weeds, apparently!

 

Give me a

field of clover,

and I'm a happy camper





       (bouquet compliments of Lucas)

 

Even Lucas has caught the weed fever.

A few days after we lamented the

mowers with a mower mowing

down our clover,

I get an excited call from Lucas..."NANA, NANA, come here. QUICK!"

and I rush out to the porch.

"LOOK, the CLOVER's BACK!"

(I think we may have done an Irish jig in celebration)

 

 



 

 



 









Clover

has a way of

 bringing people together...

 



 





Where else would the Easter

 "rabbit" lay its "eggs"

(somebody explain that please!?!)

than in a bed of 





CLOVER...

...smart rabbit!...









...it knows the joy that a clover patch brings...!
 

 









Our cardinal even

stops by to compliment our field

 



 

 



Why else would he be chirping such a happy song?!

(ok, maybe the food under his feet has something to do with it,

Iut I'm sure the clover adds to his happiness!)

 

 

The moral of the story:

 

if you have these "weeds" growing in your lawn,

let them be...let them thrive.

 

They just might inspire a blog!

 

 

 



A Day Late...

 

A day late,

 

but the message is eternal....

 

an eight word sermon on the message of Easter...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 



 

 

 

 

 

Amen!



(Thanks Peter, Jess, Robert, Christa, Lucio, Carmen, Bethany for this "one word" message!)

 



Good Friday

 

 

The day is gray. misty.

 

 

 

An appropriate setting,

i would say,

as we contemplate

what today represents.

 

 

"He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that

brought us peace

 was on Him, and by His wounds

we are healed."

 

Isaiah 53:5



(Sequel coming Sunday!)




A Boy w/a Phone Camera

 

Yesterday,

Lucas, Livi and I

went on a neighborhood adventure.

 

I had forgotten that I gave Lucas

my phone at one point to take pictures if he wanted.

 

 

Then, later that night, when I remembered,

I checked my photo gallery,

and this is what I found...

 

 

 

 

I didn't even realize he was taking Liv's pictures

as I was busy snapping with my Canon...

 

I like his better!



Just because...
