pure bliss

this site is an attempt to keep all the loved one's in our lives updated to what is going on here in our lives - the good bad and the ugly. when setting up the site, i had to make up a name and was thinking along the lines of what makes me feel happy. after a million attempts (because it seems that things that make me happy make a million other people happy too - guess i am not too unique), i found one thing... i love fresh smells, cut grass, rainy days, roses, and fresh sheets (my favorite)... thus the birth of the blog name. i am getting somewhere, just hang in there... today while the girls where at school and ty was napping (an hour an a half!!) i found myself returning to things that bring me pure bliss... I ORGANIZED MY PANTRY... i love love love to organize. it is like a gift that keeps on giving. you can find something with your eyes closed, it looks so pleasing, it feels quiet, peaceful, easy... i did not want to stop. but ty woke. haha. here are some pictures, 'cause you know you have to see what i am trying to explain (and i know how to post pictures really quickly ;) )

the kids are doing well. the weather is starting to get a bit warmer, ty absolutely loves being outside. no fear, no fear. he is finally doing better, one more day of medicine and will see if his ear gets better - it has been a month of being on meds. hopefully this will take care of it...

kambel is a monkey. our sweet carefree baby girl will be turning three in a week. three. wow. she has come out of her shell so much these past few months. she is such a free spirit, so relaxed, loving and happy - i wish i could be more like her. when we ask her what she wants for her birthday she says "i want a great big giant bicycle" - of course we have to get her one. the other night kambel came into my bed, curled up into a ball and went to sleep - i didn't take her back to her bed, instead, i curled up next to her and fell asleep listening to her sweet breathing and the smell of her freshly washed hair.

kadence is in her element - especially when she can be in a helping or learning role. she will not let anyone get out of line! i don't know what i would do without her help while her daddy has been gone. slowly, i am letting go of being bossy myself and letting kadence venture out and take her own baths and make small snacks for herself. sniff sniff. watch out world!!
