Love is.....


Listening to belly laughs while sledding in our front yard.

Watching Weebok put together her first valentine box.
Standing back as Nike Girl created her own valentine goodies to give her classmates.  


Love is all around us if we just pause for a moment.
It is so difficult during our busy days to just stop and take it all in. 
May you take the time today to pause and and feel His love in all situations.

Peace.

Bye Bye Nap

Today was the day! I filed my plan of action last night with Converse. Today Weebok would only have rest time and not have to take her nap. The nap had become a source of struggle. She would squirm, leave her room belly crawling down the hall, have to go to the bathroom twelve times, one time she even said there was a "pider" crawling in her bed. It was time to rethink that glorious hour to two hours I had all to myself. Weebok has been going to bed at 10 pm after an hour or some nights even longer full of coaxing her to get back to her room. The nap is the culprit. I was convinced! She is trying to give it up and I am not letting her.Well now I am going to let her give it up!
So today was the day the troops declared peace during rest time. Around 1:30 she came inside from playing without coaxing or bribing, she curled up with her blanket and Polly her pony and within 3 minutes she was sound ASLEEP. She was taking a nap on her own. I will have to file an amendment to my original plan of action stating....I have not a clue how to parent!

Peace.

Running Report: Gorgeous outdoor running!!! What is up with that? No complaints. Plugging away to meet my race goals. Maybe all the beautiful outdoor air and sunshine is making her hold onto the nap? I need a nap after all this stewing about what I should do to nap or not to nap.  Happy Day!
