Simple yet satisfying.

I am sitting here, looking at all these fun pictures from our Mothers Day at the beach and I am just so satisfied and content. While I do miss our family that live away from us, and those that have passed on from us, Andy and I really enjoy simply playing with our children and taking in all the nature that our beautiful and much loved "Lake Tahoe" offers. Doing activities outside seems to do wonders for the mental well-being for everyone involved and it really renews my own spirit as well. Life is chaotic and so full sometimes, we just really need to take advantage of our down times and enjoy the company of those around us that we occasionally take for granted. Auntie Doneva once told me ,"The family that plays together, stays together", and even though I was young and thought I knew better, she really was RIGHT!! Kind of funny that it took several years of parenting to really see the benefit of that simple statement. Thanks Doneva. (We heart U)
Love the Burrow Family.

I figured that it would either be really, really good OR, really, really bad...........it was good!! Congrats on getting your license.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
