April 30, 2011 - A Day at the Zoo

Today I went to the zoo for a photo shoot and for some good walking.  I was surprised how busy the zoo was at this time of year and I was able to get some great shots.  Here are a few of my favorites.

So my dear friend Claudette called me today to tell me about a cool web site.  On the web site was a tutorial on how to shoot water.  She did such a good job on hers I thought I would take a stab at it.  This is just my first attempt and I will keep trying. 

Pretty cool I think!

My baby boy turned 23 this year

23 years ago I gave birth to the most loveable little boy.  On April 18th that little boy turned 23 years old!  There have been ups and there have been downs, but I wouldn't trade being his mom for anything.  I love him with all my heart and feel very blessed that he is my son.  I look forward to watching the next 23+ years as he continues to mature and live life.  My prayer for you Jeremy is that you ALWAYS put God first in your life, than your family and then yourself.  Remember the song I dedicated to you years ago, "I Hope You Dance" really listen to the lyrics and that is what I hope for you.

I love you my dear son!!



Dog Grooming Day

Ella & Mocha had their day at the "doggie spa"!





Sunday was a great day for me.  I have really been missing my son, Jeremy and yesterday he went fishing with Mike. Tiffany, Aidan and I spent the day together until they got home.  We then had a family BBQ and really had a great time.  I find that as I get older and Jeremy gets older I miss more and more of those special times as mother and son.  Life has been very challenging for both of us and I know in my heart that God has a plan so I MUST place all my trust in Him.  Lately I have felt as if I was going to come crumbling down and I need to remember that it will all be ok!  It's so funny...no matter how old your children are you always worry about them.  So Sunday was a nice day for me to help replenish my spirit and yet today brings more trials, but IT WILL BE OK!
