Lazy Afternoon

This is a typical day for the dynamic duo, napping followed by more napping. They love their fuzzy hanging thingy, perfect for snuggling.

Now that Mosey & Cheesecake have grown a bit and their identifying marks are gone, I can no longer tell them apart. One is slightly more chubby, I think that might be Mosey, but I am not sure. They still bring me joy when I play with them, which is all that matters :)

Lucy

The last post from my California trip goes to Lucy. She is a sweet girl who soaks up all the attention she can get.

Mom’s Garden

You know me, I love to take pictures of flowers, so here are a few from California. The irises are beautiful!

Graduation

I got home on Tuesday from a fun filled week in California. My brother graduated from Police Academy after six hard months of training. He had perfect attendance and ranked high in his class of sixty-five recruits. I have never been more proud of Matt, he truly earned his badge!

Thursday the 9th was his graduation ceremony and on Friday we witnessed his official swearing in at the police station where he will be working. If you would join with us, we will be consistently praying for his safety and that he would glorify the Lord in his work. It is especially dangerous for the officers who put their lives on the line for ours everyday.

So, I didn’t get the best indoor pictures, but I wanted to share them with you anyways :) I also had to blur his badge and city for legal reasons.

Blessings & Blooms

Yesterday Todd  & I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner at Olive Garden (thanks Marla), played LEGO Indiana Jones on the Xbox, and watched Babylon 5 to top a perfect evening off :) I am amazed at how fast the time has gone. It has been good because God is good.

Since I did not take pictures of our evening, I am posting more flowers…surprise surprise. I enjoy seeing new life in the yard and those daffodils sure are cheery when the weather is not!

On another note, I am flying (solo) to California on the 7th. My brother is graduating from Police Academy and we are very proud of him. I am looking forward to some warmth and sunshine too!
