Day 121

I love the raindrops on this beautiful tulip.

Day 120

Look who is making her nest right outside the preschool window.

It took me over an hour to get this shot.

She wasn't very happy with me.

Day 119

You guys can karate all you want.

I'm tired!

Day 118

Here we have Lizzy trying to prove that she can do karate too.

She doesn't like to be outdone by her big sister.

Day 117

This is Natalie in her new karate outfit.

She loves karate.

She has her first belt test on Saturday.

How stinkin cute is that?!?!

Day 116

I went to the Jackson Browne concert on Saturday night.

It was just him, a piano and about 15 guitars for him to choose from.

He is still hot and sounds awesome!

Day 115

Happy Easter!

20 of these little sweeties were hatched in 1st grade last week.

They were so cute and soft, I hated to see them go back to the farm.

Day 114

I'm guessing that in a few days, this is going to bloom into a beautiful pink tulip.

Day 113

In another week o so, it is going to smell like heaven when these viburnum bloom in the garden at school. Lucky for me, they are right outside my classroom.

Day 112

I finally found a little spring in the pathway of the garden at school.

Day 111

Okay, so I didn't take this picture.

Obviously because I am the baby with my beautiful mom.

I just thought you might like it.

The weather here has been so crappy, I haven't been out to take any pictures.

One of these days it will be spring and I'll have some lovely pictures to show you.

Day 110

It is 7:17 and I just realized I didn't do my picture post for today.

I have to leave for work in 3 minutes.

What you get today is a picture of the worlds most awesome team ever.

This is last years Team James and Jake at the March for Babies.

We are walking again this year.

If you would like to help us raise money for this cause that is so close to my heart, just click on the widget in the sidebar and it will walk you right through it.

Donating will make you feel good and it will make me so happy.

Thank you so much!

Day 109

Chasing poppa with their jeep.

Day 108

I went to my son in law's book signing for his new book of poetry.

Had I been using my head, I would have taken my camera wth me.

Then I would have had a picture of him with the book.

I'm really proud of him.

Day 107

Doesn't this look warm and sunny instead of 45 and cold?

Day 106

I didn't have to wait a week.

The grape hyacinths were blooming when I got home from work.

Day 105

So yeah, Jack loves the big ride on truck from grammy and poppa.

Day 104

One year ago today, this sweet little man came into our lives.

He is our first grandson and he has changed our lives forever.

Happy Birthday Jack!!

Grammy and Poppa love you so much.

Day 103

I bet at this time next week, there will be grape hyacinths on this plant.

Day 102

This has to be a two picture post.

When Lizzy is tired, she doesn't care where she is or what is going on.

She goes to sleep. Period!

Check out the picture below the first one.......

Lizzy fell asleep literally in the middle of Jack opening his presents.

Day 101

Captain Jack had his 1st birthday party yesterday.

There was cake!

Day 100

Last night was our zumbathon for March of Dimes.

It was an awesome success.

We raised $1058.21 for the March for Babies on April 30th.

I am so proud to have been a part of this event.

Day 99

I bought a new shirt at zumba last night.

It's for our March of Dimes zumbathon tonight.

I'm so excited.

We had so much fun at our last one.

100% of everything we make tonight is going to be donated to March for Babies through my team on April 30th.

If you would like to be part of this special event and live in the area, come to James O'Connor's Martial Arts and Fitness at 6:30.

If you don't live here or are unable to come, you can still be part in this event that is very close to my heart.

Just click on the March for babies widget on the right and donate.

Thank you so much for your support!

(Don't ask me why there are two shirts, but it's past time to get ready for work and I don't have time to figure it out.)

Day 98

The view from the hot tub last night.

I love the moon.

In 365 days, you may get tired of it.

Day 97

So close but yet so far.

I love Chicago.

Day 96

Look what was waiting for me when I went back to work this morning.

Day 95

And finally, they slept.

Day 94

Natalie and Lizzy spent the night.

They had so much fun driving their jeep for the first time this season.

Day 93

Dick and I went hiking at the Dunes.

It was cool outside, but we did find a little hint of spring.

I love the green with the tree reflections in the water

Day 92

Doesn't it look like it was a warm summer day?

No such luck. The highs here are still in the 40's.
