Zachary's Obsession

I think most would agree that it is a lot more fun to dress little girls than little boys.  Simply put there are just not that many accessories out there for little boys, really there is only hats and shoes.   Zachary LOVES hats and shoes!  When guests come to our house he is always fascinated with their shoes, and usually has to try them on.  We can not leave the house without Zachary asking to wear one of his hats.  The most resent add on is mittens or 'ninnies' as Zachary likes to call them.

After asking Zachary if he wanted to go outside one day, I turned around to find he had gotten himself ready without me.

Good job little man but I think you forgot something...

After waking up from a nap, Zachary decided his teddy bear needed shoes and a hat.  We ended up digging out all his baby keepsakes and one thing lead to another...and well see for yourself.

Beautiful World

I am thankful to be alive and healthy and for a family that is full of love.

What are you thankful for?  

I love Thanksgiving weekend, not only because we usually spend it will our families sharing wonderful meals.  I love this holiday simply because its not clouded with an abundance of presents, decorations and obligations that seem to deter from the true meaning of the Christmas season. During the Thanksgiving weekend I usually get the opportunity to stop and think about how truly blessed I am and think about what I am thankful for in my life.

Hope you had an opportunity to think about and share what you are thankful for this past weekend.

I recently came across a new song and it is one that I enjoy more and more every time I hear it. Its called Beautiful World by Dierks Bentley featuring Patty Griffin.

Lyrics

There's tears and there's fears and there's loses and crosses to bear

and sometimes the best we can do it just whisper a prayer

And press on because...there's so much to live for and so much to love

It's a beautiful world.  Say what you will but I still believe its a beautiful world. 

And I know I'm not dreaming it, I just choose to believe in it.


So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes.

And I know at the end of my road I'll be wanting more time.

Just another sunset...

One more kiss from my baby a smile from a friend.


Its a beautiful world.
