Baby Day!!

photo from Lily the Black Bear facebook page

So today I have been glued to my computer watching Lily the black bear. She gave birth today around lunch time to at least one cub. I feel blessed that we live in a time where we can be a part of this. I have continued to keep my computer linked to her den and listen for the sweet cries of the cub.

While I was able to watch Lily today I was not able to be with my cousin Annie. Annie also gave birth today to a sweet baby boy.I wish I could have been with her so I could have given her a big hug and kiss and snuggled with her sweet little boy. He is so darn cute!

This past week found me looking through old photos. I laugh a lot and cried a little as I looked at my own sweet boys as babies.

I am truly blessed in many ways.

Thomas Paine aka Justin

Last week Justin's class presented a Wax Museum. All of the kids did a great job. Justin was Thomas Paine. He did all the research himself and we came up with his costume together. I am so proud of the hard work he did. All the kids had "buttons" that you could push and they would start talking about whom ever they were. It was a lot of fun to hear about the different people.

First 5K

Holly and I before the race
Holly won third over all!!!

Well I ran my first ever 5K and let me tell you it kicked my butt! Holly ran it in 23 minuets and I ran it in 41. There were some major hills and Holly said it was the hardest course she had run. I have come to the decision that I am not ready for the 10K in April. I am really sad about this but I struggled with the 5K and have been having some health issues ( a little matter of breathing) that are getting in my way. I am not giving up in fact there is a 10K on the 23rd of April I hope to be ready for.

The Winner Is

I used a random number generator and the number was 206 Lori is the winner!

Ty Park Candles

***Contest Now Closed***
Spring is in the air at least here in Georgia. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and birds are singing. It is that time of year when we shake off the dust of the winter and do our spring cleaning. To celebrate SITS is having a Spring Fling.

My friend over at TY PARK CANDELS specializes in hand poured candles made out of all natural soy wax.

I LOVE these candles! I was never one for scented candles until I found these. They are the only ones I use in my home.
