BEADMAN!

It's a bird, it's a plane...no...it's BEADMAN!!! Joe is such a good sport. He loves his job. I think it's on his mind a lot. I can hear him saying "adhesive anchors, adhesive anchors" ever so often. Last nights we were talking about something and he stops to say, "How can I apply this to adhesive anchors?"we were laughing for a while :)

Joe was eating a Banana and Anne went for it! She is growing at mostly the 50th percentile. And is such a smiler to everyone! She sleeps through the night without eating and is my baby love!! She enjoys watching her sisters play, putting things in her mouth and being on her back.

I love these next pictures. We watched Pete's Dragon and the girls didn't like the Gogans too well. After the movie, I put some makeup on my teeth and snapped a shot of them when I gave them a big smile!!!

Xela asked to wash the dishes. She did a great job!! I am so proud of the progress she is making in reading!! Thank you starfall.com!

My carrier of random objects. These are "tree stars" in her little 2 year old hands :)

"Charlotte's Book of Colors" I used a template so it took me a shorter time to make it. It was like Christmas opening it up!

Joe made a slide for the girls and Xela just up and went for it all by herself

From "the sun is shining Minnesota" and I-know-it's-not-too-common-for-March, but I figure God must be answering someones prayer so I'm thankful for it!

Thomas S. Monson

Professor Harold Hill, in Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, cautioned, “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays.”

There is no tomorrow to remember if we don’t do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance. Let us not procrastinate those things which matter most.

I remember reading the account of a man who, just after the passing of his wife, opened her dresser drawer and found there an item of clothing she had purchased when they visited the eastern part of the United States nine years earlier. She had not worn it but was saving it for a special occasion. Now, of course, that occasion would never come.

In relating the experience to a friend, the husband of the deceased wife said, “Don’t save something only for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion.”

That friend later said those words changed her life. They helped her cease putting off the things most important to her. Said she: “Now I spend more time with my family. I use crystal glasses every day. I’ll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket if I feel like it. The words ‘someday’ and ‘one day’ are fading from my vocabulary. Now I take the time to call my relatives and closest friends. I’ve called old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I tell my family members how much I love them. I try not to delay or postpone anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives. And each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day. Each day, each hour, each minute is special.”
