A Great Day!

Yesterday was an absolutely perfect day in many ways. Finally we got a day without rain and the temperatures were very comfortable. It was also the day my husband and I were taking care of our two grandchildren. We were able to spend the day outside playing. Addison really enjoyed playing with her new water table on the front porch and Ethan enjoyed watching her. On the way home, Addison said, "I'm tired." I asked her why she was tired and she said she had a great day.  Just melted my heart. I had a great time too. I feel so blessed to have these two precious children in my life. Being a grandparent is just the best.

Busy, Busy, Busy

It's been ages since I've sat down to blog. I didn't really plan a vacation from blogging, but May and June have turned out to rather busy and my time to blog ended up being sacrificed. My parents moved in May. They are both 78 years old and have moved from 9 acres to a small ranch with a small yard. You can only imagine what a big job this was. I'm sure they miss their old place, but this is going to be much more manageable for everyone. My husband and I had already been through this in December with our own move. Now they are only a 5 minute walk away. This also puts us only a short drive away from my son and his family. We love being near the two grandbabies.

We've also had a very rainy spring here in Ohio, so everytime there is a nice day we are out in the yard trying to get things planted and whipped into shape. We have a small tree preserve that borders two sides of our property, so we have been trying to get it cleaned out. We've added a few perennials and our trying to naturalize this area. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Crafting time has been pretty nonexistent also. I have been keeping up with my blog reading so I have plenty of ideas lined up.  Check out my link on Pinterest. I hope to get back to crafting after our vacation this week. So keep checking back.
