Disney Vacation 2009
Our trip to Disney was quite an experience. It was so awesome watching Elizabeth's face as she entered all the theme parks, especially the magic kingdom. She smiled and laughed the whole time. She kept pointing and kept exclaiming everything; "balloons!," "mickey!," "water!" Her first ride was the Cinderella's Golden Carousel. She now has her "first mickey ears." I hope you all enjoy the photos.

Where Am I?
So, on my way to work this morning I totally forgot where I was for 30 seconds or more. Now mind you, it was 5:00 and quite dark. It must be because I have lived in so many states or something. I thought I was in New Hampshire for a moment until I looked over and saw a "Silver Alert" flashing sign. I never even knew what a "silver alert" was until I moved to North Carolina. Apparently there are too many lost elderly people and North Carolina folk can't seem to keep a hold of them. There must be at least one silver alert every other day. Anyway, I finally made it to work with no further memory issues.

Missing my Family; Missing my Tribe
My family must be talking about me today. It would explain my random thoughts and spurts of tears throughout the day. My family means the world to me and being so far apart dampens my spirit. Memories of walks to the "Dogwood Festival," jaunts to DQ, walks on the beach and hamburgers at Rawley drifted through my mind. I send great big hugs and kisses their way.

"A Song from the Suds"
A Song from the Suds
Queen of my tub, I merrily sing,
While the white foam raises high,
And sturdily wash, and rinse, and wring,
And fasten the clothes to dry;
Then out in the free fresh air they swing,
Under the sunny sky.
I wish we could wash from our hearts and our souls
The stains of the week away,
And let water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure as they;
Then on the earth there would be indeed
A glorious washing day!
Along the path of a useful life
Will heart's-ease ever bloom;
The busy mind has no time to think
Of sorrow, or care, or gloom;
And anxious thoughts may be swept away
As we busily wield a broom.
I am glad a task to me is given
To labor at day by day;
For it brings me health, and strength, and hope,
And I cheerfully learn to say-
"Head, you may think; heart, you may feel;
But hand, you shall work always!"

Birthday Wishes
Today is my little girl's 2nd birthday. She is growing up so fast. I remember being able to hold her in the crook of my neck at only 7 lbs. Such tender moments. Now I get a big hug and kiss and enjoy these moments even more. I see her smile and excitement and feel such happiness fill my very soul. I could be any more blessed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!

Precious Moments Captured in Time
I can't believe it's been 6 months since my last blog. Elizabeth's been keeping me very busy. It's such a joy watching her development. She loves art. She will paint, color or marker anything in site including her self! She will be 2 years in one week. I cherish every moment with her.
