"Work" Convention

 
 
 
Work
 last week was so grueling...
 
There were board meetings....
 
 
run by a strict taskmaster...
 
 
and, also,
"board"walk meetings... 
 

where the work was quite difficult, but someone had to do it!!!
 
 
During the week,
we had some
team building exercises... 
 







  












 










and
Corporate dinners...
 
where a member of management
 
 bestowed two lovely maidans with a flower!
 
 
Just so you know,
it wasn't all work and no play!
 
There was some down time
 
 
where co-workers solidified their bonds
 

 
and got re-aquainted with each other.

 
 
Overall,
it was a beautiful place for a convention 

 
with many new discoveries
 
 

 and
the only thing that could have made it any better was if
all of the co-workers were able to attend...
 
you were missed Christa, Robert and Joseph!
Keep your calendars clear for the next "work" convention!!!
Then it won't be "work" at all,
but all play!

These Two.....



These two share alot...
 
Love
 for
God,
 each other,
their daughter,
family and friends.
 
And they share a 
Joie de vivre....

that is contagious
and 
flows to  those around them
so that we, also, enjoy life more.
 
They are just plain fun to be around
as I was reminded of this past week!
 
Another thing
Charlie and Michelle
share is a 
birthday month....
just two days apart from each other.
 
So I want to wish both of them a very
 
Happy Birthday,
 
and I pray for blessings to flow
to these two
 
because they have always,
and continue to be,
such a sweet
blessing
to me!

"Bless this house,
O Lord, we pray.
Keep it safe by night and day!"

 house!

And they are in the process of making it a
 home..
 
 
 with new friends to be made...

"Here, Puppy, Puppy")
 
 
projects to be tackled 
with family..... 
  

 and friends!


 Challanges will be met here.


Bonds will be solidfied...



 
 
Explorations will be made... 

 



 Lessons will be learned...

And...

The above prayer
goes on to say,
"Bless the people here within!"
 
and to that I say,
"Amen!!"

and
all who walk through their door!

A Stroll Around "Paradise"



There's an area of the county that we call


 
 It's where the ocean meets the river
and Julie Bea, I believe, appropriately named the area,
and us DiGi's have claimed that name also
 
because here, you can...
 
paddleboard with dolphins
 
 
see a ghost 


visit with a fiddler


marvel at a colony of snails


wish a tern good hunting for a safe nesting spot


  want to join the gulls on the sand bar

 
have hopes of finally seeing baby sea turtles hatch
and make their journey to the sea
 

 and take a moment to covet a lens half the length of me!
 
 
 
Thanks to
for organizing this stroll...
it was fun
and educational...
and got me up early in the morning!!
 
 
And here's some other adventures at Paradise....

Party-Like-A-Tot-Star

 
 
We now have a three year old
 as a part of our family!
 
              
 
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
           (note to party planners for 3yr olds....NO NOISEMAKERS allowed!!!)...

With that comes the joy
of experiencing life through his eyes,
his observations,
listening to his funny quotes,
following his lead on adventures,
 
and enjoying his spontaneity,
such as...
"Nana, let's dance to this song!!!"
as we're trying to unpack the #486th moving box out of
ten and a half million.
 
I never turn down that request.
(Apparently, the boy thinks I can dance!)
 


 

 
 



Lucas,
love surrounds you
 
from near...
  


  
...and far...

 "Happy Birthday to my sweet, adorable nephew, Lucas!  Please tell him we love and miss him. Wish we could be there to celebrate the big 3!" ~Michelle
"Happy Birthday to a super cool guy! You always make me smile, Lucas! I hope you have a fun-filled birthday celebration!" ~Rachel
"Birthday hugs and kisses from all of us here in Jersey...we can't believe how big you are getting...we love you and miss you, sweet lil Lucas <3 em=""> ~Donna
"Happy Birthday to Prince Charming!!! With each day passing you are more adorable, no clue how that is even possible.  I wish you tons of fun today celebrating your 3rd birthday (2 already, where has the time gone??!!??) ~Czyna (Germany)

~Cyrus~
 
 
Well, lil' roughandtumble Boy,
 


 
 
I'm gonna pretend that you're doing an
Irish jig here...
 
 
even though I really know you're
showing off your warrior stance
after opening up a superhero shield...lol!
After all, the jig goes with your
shamrock necktie that you chose to wear
instead of the rockstar outfit your mom picked out...lol!
 
Maybe it's time to turn you on to some Irish rock...
 

 
 
 



Lucas,
we thank God for you
and look forward to seeing the path He has laid out for you..



 


Many adventures lie ahead!
 
Happy 3rd Birthday!

and
We are your Groupies!!!


p.s.  in case you're wondering where the
Little Princess is,
she slept through the whole party!
