Macey's First Communion

There was a big event for Macey just a few weeks ago, she made her first communion during Sunday mass, she has worked very hard towards this the entire school year...and we are so proud of her! She was a little nervous but proved she could handle the pressure with grace and beauty! But what made her beautiful was seeing how much her spirituality has deepened during this last year which makes us happy and hopeful for her continued relationship with God. Some of her family and friends were able to join us for the mass and celebration afterwards.

Easter Sunday 2009

Ofcourse our Easter was a chilly one but none the less it was a blessing! Macey loves to search for her Easter basket as soon as she wakes up, and I'm beginning to wonder if she'll ever outgrow this. We went to church (and Macey couldn't wait to wear the dress her Meme and Papaw sent her) and then celebrated with the rest of my family at my mother's house. Ofcourse there was another egg hunt there!

Twilight...

As some of you may know I've been dragged into this other world known as the "Twilight" saga. Believe me, when I say "dragged", I mean that! However, after finishing the series of books I will admit that it was VERY hard to get me started in them I do wish there was more of it to read! So as my nieces anticipated the release of the DVD in March, this ofcourse gave us a reason to celebrate! Hence the Twilight DVD release party with the ultimate guest!
Edward himself!





We also had lots of "themed food" pertaining to Twilight! Tomato soup with garlic bread, blushing Bellas, vampire cupcakes, "wolf" chow, apple shaped sugar cookies and much much more...way more than any of us could've eaten! But leave it to us to ALWAYS go overboard! End result: Lots of FUN!

How Time Flies...AGAIN!

Ok as you can see I'm guilty of not posting in awhile. Those of you who know me well, know this in not unusual for me! However, it still amazes me how time can get away from us. Which reminds me of some of my favorite quotes;

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. ~Carl Sandburg

Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~Willaim Penn

To see a world in a grain of sand
And Heaven in a Wild Flower;
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
and Eternity in an hour. ~Wm Shakespeare

So let me show you how I spent the last few months...

First, Scott had to go to Atlanta (for a week) for a Leadership Conference, and Macey and I always find things to do. So March is Riley's birthday, yes our dog! He turned 4 and Macey made him a great sign for the celebration! I won't make you watch the video as it contains much high-pitch squealing from Macey and I, but here are some of the pics.
