laughter :)

Kelsey and Taylor's Choir performance tonight they did a great job. It's so fun to see them giggling with their friends.

A great dinner after the show where we were all laughing and being silly.

Oh, and that Taylor actually tried a couple of new things tonight at dinner without fussing about it!

The girls sharing in my goofy behavior before the show. Listening to old music turned way up loud and the girls following my lead by dancing, singing, and laughing with each other.

That the girls always have someone besides me at their shows, debates, concerts and things My mom never misses any of them. Mike's mom comes to as many as she can and sometimes her mom and sister come as well.

Chad loves being as close to the family as he can even if that means suffering through the sixth grade band so he can then listen to Taylor sing.

The possibility of Chad getting put back on days! Someone resigned!!

My dog, baby, being such a great dog.

That Romeo did not successfully kill all of the flowers and trees in my back yard. :) I saw some purple crocus blooming today and there are buds on the dogwood that I thought he killed, oh and the birch tree that he ate down to nothing has about 3 feet of new growth on it! I thought for sure that one was a goner.

I'm so excited about spring I walk around my yard every day, a couple of times a day, looking at every thing that's coming up! I just can't wait to see all the colors I know are coming.

Lightening and thunder, I love the excitement of a good storm.

I'm thankful that Kelsey's cold has just about run it's course since she leaves for D.C. tomorrow. Now I don't have to worry about her suffering through the walking trip with out meds.

Taylor is stepping out of her comfort zone and starting a tumbling class in two weeks. She tries as hard as she can to avoid new things.

All the little things that come up that make me think of Michael.....my friend calls them "Michael's little gifts".

The way music makes me feel, changes my mood. That I am able to channel those moods when I paint and that they don't stick to me (unless I want them to) when I'm done.

That Chad loved "The Secret" and every so often we watch it again just to stay inspired and excited about our lives ,.......keeping up the momentum.

I'm grateful that I have so many things to be grateful for. This glog really has helped me change my attitude, and just be more positive.---Thanks Jones
