Enjoying Life

What a magnificent life I lead
A wife, a mom

I anticipate the adventures and opportunities that await me each day
Both the challenges and the joys

My husband comes home from work fulfilled
My baby greets me each morning with a huge smile

What a fantastic life!

    Snow Day at Home!

    Big Yawn


    View as it is snowing in front of our house and across the street


    The thinker and the back of our car


    Tasting the snow?


    Mommy and her snowbaby


    Pacified inside the house after the snowy fun


    Why must I wear this snowsuit Mom? My seahorse doesn't.


    Looking at our backyard during the snowstorm


    Aurora safe under the porch during the storm

    On February 26,2011, it snowed at our triplex in Burbank!  Can you believe it?
