There's a Light at the End of this Tunnel!

     Wanting to give a speedy shout to say 13 days to...
     - me waking at 6 am
     - somehow managing to get 3 kiddos  dressed & fed & out the door
       (and happy by 7:25)
     - pushing two little ones down the Ashton path to kiss my big girl
       goodbye for 6 hrs
     - dropping Maddy off at Preschool
     - running from one end of SRQ to the next doing what I love to do!
        coffee with friends, errands, playgrounds with G.... and many other
        activities
      - Back into the mom van to pick up Maddy and Joshy
      - come home and scarf lunch just in time to hop back into the van
      - geesh! is it really time to pick up my Missy already???! whahoo!
      - and given the day we have many extra curricular  activities we have
         managed to plug into our hectic schedule,
        because we love them all!
       - Can't let the kids go hungry so we  head home for dinner ,
           family laughs  and baths, HOMEWORK!
           yes!  even in kindergarten!
       -and finally, sigh! bed time! ( yes, even for one tired mommy!)
  
             I am so amazed at  the year we have  lived, survived, loved and
          now get a serious break from!

        Thanking God for giving me  HIS strength & HIS grace to  get by ~
         day to day!
    
        Can't wait to share many summer adventures or  leisures we will
         enjoy!

Flower Girls!

                             And now announcing Kelly's Flower Girls!
        
  
What could be more fun than a day shopping with the Bride-to-be!
Especially if you are 2 lucky Flower Girls!
We met Kelly in Tampa to try on  pretty dresses , Look no further!
Our first stop happened to be the place that had the exact gowns we 
hoped for! These girls, were twirling and prancing and giggling while
admiring themselves in the mirrors! Begging us "Please buy them!"
It's a sure good thing that their aunt- the Bride happened to love the very
dress they were swooned over! Not that I have not been excited...
It has been a topic we speak of often in our home since the engagement!
But to spend the day in wedding land, brought it that much closer!
we also shopped International Plaza (without excuse),
ate lunch and went to the Bridal store to look for  Bridesmaid dresses. 
Because there were many very appealing dresses,  we will be making
yet another dress shopping day to finalize  which one!
with that I will leave a to be continued until further wedding details!
We had such a fun day with you Kel!
