Skype addict

Steph and Jack Skype with us often and Jack has gotten the hang of asking to Skype with Grammy & Papa. Here's a video Steph took of Jack asking to Skype with Papa (by patting his head).

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.


My post title says it all...We are enjoying the beautiful sun in this season called "summer" and all that goes with the sun drenched days and the starlit nights. Our hearts are also celebrating with grateful hearts. We have now been in Meridian, Idaho 1 year this week. We started this new journey not knowing what was ahead for us but like my favorite quote: "Sometimes what you want isn't always what you get, but in the end what you get is so much better than what you wanted." We are enjoying our life with magical moments with our families. Our cup runneth over!

"Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother." ~Claudette Colbert

I never understood why my mother would wait a week to wipe away the hand prints left from my children from her closet mirrors in her bedroom after we had spent a week with her....now I know.

We just spent a wonderful week with Stephanie & Jack and Vanessa & Chloe. We did everything from shopping, eating, making jewelry, watching video's, to taking pictures laying in bed together, talking and of course lots of kissing and playing with the babes! What a great way to start 2010 and make our bleak January bright and sunny!!

Stephanie & Vanessa are amazing mom's....I love watching them...I'm truly in awe and inspired by their love...thank you girls for a week I will never forget.

A week of pure joy!
