A Wonderful Week

Good Morning All.

The Sun is shining and in 6 days we start that wonderful "You have more Daylight" time of year.  This has been a very busy week for us.  We celebrated Bob's Birthday twice, once on March 3rd with the younger two, and then again on Sunday with the whole family.  It's been a week of firsts for us - we attended a Shakespeare Festival for 9 hours on Saturday -  Now let me say I for one was not excited about this - but you have to support your child so we went.  It was really enjoyable - I learned alot (She learned even more) She was really

very good and improved each time she performed her scene.  They had to do it 3 times during the day, and then when she received her scores they were really amazing - Job well done Ashlei.

I made two new cakes this week that I have not attempted before, one was a soccer field with all the girls as soccer players.  (Bob's birthday cake - Red Velvet with Raspberry filling.)  And Ashlei and I made just a regular cake (not from scratch) for her Shakespeare Team - It was a pennant cake and it was really cute.

I also made 60 Wedding lollipops out of white and blue chocolate - for a Bridal Shower Christen is giving- so we painted (or should I say Bob painted) 4 flower pots white and we decorated them to match the wedding colors - they came out really nice.  Joy jumped in and figured out how to fill in the sparse areas with curling ribbon - thanks sweetie that was a huge help.

We went to Ashlei's soccer game on Sunday - in Wayne this was a new facility and area for us.  She played well and they won.  But the best part was the entire family spent the day together to celebrate their Dad's birthday - and then off to Fuddruckers for Dinner -

Can I just say that money really isn't everything - it helps to pay the bills - but when you spend a day with your family the love and the laughter that ensues is really what life is all about.  The hugs, the giggles, the jokes the kisses - the thoughtfulness - how could it really get any better than this.  So I would just like to say that Lord You have truely blessed me with riches that cannot be counted out as money could.  The ability to know that I have a family that really "likes" spending time together - that jumps in to help no matter what the
task at hand - that's a perfect week for us.  May God continue to bless each and every one of you with love and laughter.
