oh me, oh my...tops for Roja




Wow...it's been way too long, and I have been way too preoccupied to write. A dear friend of mine likes to catch up by reporting on our top 10. I have been very, very delinquent in writing back to her. So, here they are, for you, Roja, and everyone else who has been wondering what the heck happened to me. Maybe not 10, maybe more or less, or this may be tops, part 1.

1. Snakes. Henry and I (and now Eliana too) enjoy watching the snakes in the spring. This spring Henry caught a few. Steve and I decided to let him keep two for a few days (for his efforts).



2. Easter...more fun every year, and yeah, a bit complicated trying to talk about Jesus' death and resurrection with a young lad and lass. ("Yeah, yeah, yeah mom, the candy, please....")


3. Steve's surprise birthday party (pictured with his mom and dad). That's a hand and card he made for them many (many) years ago.
He also got the iPad...



4. Eliana jumping, dancing, and apparently eating. 

5. Cute, cuter, cutest.


6. And...cute, cuter, cutest.




7. Mother's Day (with my mom, near her birthday - see how young she is!!)



8. A visit with grammy and papa white--fun in the hammock.



9. Painting Elle's toe nails---who knew it would be such a feat to paint her feet!?!




There is more--much more, like working again, and family visits and vacation, but more on that later. 
It's bedtime.
