A Month in Photos.....

Sometimes life spins by so fast minutes turn into hours--hours into days and before you know it days into months.  Before I let too much time pass I wanted to check in with you all this morning and share with you what I have been up to.  If I shared it all with words however,  we could be here forever :)  so I thought I would share my past month with you in photos........

Fisher Price Fun

My sister, Andrea and her family live about 2 hours north of me in the little town of Brookville.  It has been some time since I have been to visit so my mom and I decided to take a little trip this weekend---  just in time  for the local flea market.  The flea market is located in the town of Hazen which is only about 15 minutes from my sisters home.  We woke early Saturday morning and headed out to begin our adventure. 

The flea market was so much fun as we searched for all of those hidden treasures.  I was thrilled to find this pretty little tiara for just one dollar. 

I know I know it is missing a little piece at the top but I think it adds to it's charm.  Perfect for an "almost princess"

After all the flea market treasure hunting, Andrea took us to a little shop in town called Cashs Collectibles---another place perfect for treasure hunting.  For some time now I have admired vintage Fisher Price toys.  It brings back memories of my childhood.  Just look what I found at Cashs........

The Milk Truck with all the milk bottles.

The ferris wheel with a working music box!

look at that crabby face---I do wish he were a little happier :)

and this sweet little lunch box

OHHHHH they look so cute all together on the shelf in my sewing room.......

We all had such a fun day treasure hunting and spending time with eachother.  Andrea even took us to the local quilt/fabric shop.  But that is a post for another day..........

The Joy of Discovery

I have always had a heart for children.  I love everything about them.  Their innocence, their giggles, their energy, their unconditional love, their zest for life, their honesty and their sincerity.  It delights me to watch them play and discover new things.  My own son, Alex will turn 21 this week.  Truely where did the time go? As he grew we planned on adding to our family but  as time passed we were just not blessed with any other children of our own.  At first I did question this but then I began to see how God would bless me in a different way.  He would bring children into my life in so many other ways.  First with my sweet girls Kate and Emma--who have now grown into beautiful young ladies. 

After my babysitting time with the girls came to an end, God brought Drew, my new "week day" buddy into my life.  Then He blessed our family again with my new neice, Emily.  This week I was delighted to have both Drew and Emily to spend time with. What a joy to watch them play together... 

      

and discover new things......

 This morning Drew was practicing his cutting skills.....

 He was so pleased and excited to have learned this new skill.

Each new day brings new discovery----and it is such a JOY to watch.
