A Walk on a BEATUTIFUL day

In my ongoing project of losing weight, Olivia and I decided to take a walk to the post office. I would say it is probably about half a mile one way. We are now a one car family, so Ralph took the van to work today. I had things that were time sensitive, so Olivia and I set out, her riding her Barbie bike and we wearing my Adidas. It is a GORGEOUS day here. Not even a cloud in the sky. Olivia had a blast riding her bike on the sidewalk, which is something she hasn't done often so it was a challenge for her, she worked he little calves! She rode up and down bumps and inclines I couldn't ride a bike up. Today is going to be a good day. Exercise and sunshine makes me feel good!

Awards Assembly

Gracie received 2 awards at her schools' awards assembly on Thursday. She was the proud recipient of the citizenship award (the white one) which means that she did not have any "needs improvement" in the behavior portion of her report card. She is "ahem, and I quote "a lovely child who is a leader to other students and always willing to help out". The orange ribbon is for all "S". Gracie has got all S's for all the 9 weeks! Geez, when did she grow up, and how did she get so dang samrt, I mean, smart?

BTW,Check out my new bumper sticker, that Gracie put on the van by herself, in the middle of the rear window, yes siree, right in the MIDDLE:)

Let us not forget what these next 3 days mean

In the midst of colored eggs, Easter grass and chocolate bunnies, let us not forget to teach our children what Good Friday and Easter morning means. I am so thankful for the sacrifice my Savior has made for me. To give his life so we may live is the ultimate sacrifice. I hope I can show my appreciation for Him by being more Christlike. Have a wonderful weekend!
