Springtime is for Swimming?

Personally, I think it's a bit early to even think about swimming, after all the water is only 72 degrees....but that didn't stop my nieces this weekend when they came to visit. I let them be the judge. Here are a few pics...and if you look really close you can see that their lips are slightly blue.

Anniversary

Most Anniversaries are something to be celebrated, but today's anniversary is remembered as one of the saddest moments in my life. Ten years ago today I lost my Dad. Although it's true, that time heals wounds...it doesn't remove them. I guess the best thing about time is that it's given me some true insight on my Dad.

I know that my Dad loved my mother.

I know that my dad loved me, Greg, Jimmy and Wendy.

I know that he thought that his Grandchildren could do no wrong.

I know that he loved playing music and working in the garden.

I know that he would say things out of anger and regret them as soon as they left his lips.

I know that he loved his parents, sisters nieces and nephew dearly.

I know that he loved baseball and the Atlanta Braves.

I know that he would have loved to watch his grandchildren grow up.

I know he would get the biggest kick out of Gabe.

I know Ellie would have him wrapped around his little finger.

I could go on and on with the things I know about my Dad, But the most important thing I Know is...He was ready (spiritually) to go.

I will always miss my Daddy, but after ten years I can now think about him and remember all the things about him that make me smile and not feel as sad.

I Love you Daddy!

Home Sweet Home...Cullman, Alabama

Well, we're finally settled in (sorta). I have unpacked almost every box. There are still a few that have to be sorted but all in all, I feel pretty good about the progress I've made.
I have a lot of stories to post but it will have to wait a little while longer because I'm hard pressed to find the time. I haven't taken may pictures but I did get our first snowfall.

Ellie's first Birthday Party

Not too sure about that cupcake.
