Let's Play Airplane

 Big Brother

 My little eyes

are watching

All you say and do

And when I grow up

big and tall

I want to be like you.

My little ears

are listening

To everything you say

I am learning how

to grow up

To be like you

someday.

So be careful how

you teach me

To be the person

that you are.

You’re a knight in

shining armor

You’re my brightest

shining star.

We love our dear LiLi,

she is so special and very sweet

 Look- we found bunny tracks!

Sweet sisterly love

but we had to do this at least once....I needed the photos!)

Yummy

Take two cups of kindness, add one cup of trust. A half of cup of caring, and a dash of pixie dust. Take a spoon of kisses, add it from above. Stir it slow and gently, that's my recipe for love. Sift some understanding, add a pinch of tenderness. Blend a dash of romance, stir it with caress. Combine them all together, add a turtle dove. Makes a life time serving, that's my recipe for love.

2011

In celebration of the new decade we find ourselves reflecting on some of our favorite memories of the last year. This past year is worth mentioning specifically because it brought us through many changes, some we planned for, some were unexpected. Regardless of the circumstances these changes caused us to grow and stretch ourselves in new directions, to open our hearts in ways we didn't expect, and to expand our horizons beyond places we could even begin to imagine. 

Happy New Year!
