Beautiful Day

    It's been so long since I've last posted but today was so beautiful I couldn't resist taking a dozen or two pics! It started with me wanting to record the birds becsause they reminded me of Beethoven's Fur Elise! I was quite supprised with how accurate the birds were! ...well, accurate enough to remind me of the tune!

After that I decided to go around at take pics of the beautiful day! I hope you enjoy them!

                          

                   The birds singing in our backyard                 Beethoven - Für Elise (Piano Version)

I love how viberant all the colours are!

Everything's beginning to bloom and grow!

Pixie

Pixie is getting so big. Recently she's been trying to get up on her hands and knees, but she keeps on falling over. She's smiling so much and she loves attention! I guess that's kind of expected though, because she lives in a family of 11. She's so adorable but if you try to hug her she'll try to bite you nose off.

She was so happy!

I was trying to get a picture but...

I like this picture.

 Seven months old!

Day at the Park

For Mama's birthday she got a fitbit and was trying to take walks every day to keep up with her step goals and to compete against the other people in our family who have fitbits. (Daddy & Dolly)
This morning while daddy was shopping he called Mama to ask if he should bring home some McDonald's for lunch. Mama answered him telling him that she would walk to the park with us, and that he could drop by with the food and stay for a while before going back to finish his  shopping.
It was really fun and Bruno brought a bocce game to play with everyone else's. What I thought was funny was that when QB and Hal were on the teeter totter, they couldn't touch the ground to push off properly and so they kept on getting stuck half-way in the middle where neither of them could touch the ground. Somebody had to keep on going over there to help them keep going.

The playground

These are only a few of the pictures that I took, but I thought that going to the park was really fun and that I should post about it. We stopped by the library on the way back to return some books and check out some new ones. That was a really fun day that I'll never forget. Thank you Mama!

A Special Day

Dear Mama,

Today is your birthday, and I wanted to give you this poem  to tell you I love you. I feel like this only gives you a pinch to show how much you care and love for me because you are working constantly and you are always making sure I am: fed, clean and so much more that if I list them all it will be 10:00 at night.

Motherly Love

You love me when it's cold inside,

You love me when it's warm,

You care for me all day and night, 

And treat me with your love.

You help me when I need you most,

You're always there for me,

You stick around to help me out,

And teach me lovely things.

But as we've grown from bright young ones

To tall grown teenagers,

We realize how you've cared for us,

With all your mother love.

So many others may forget 

How much you mean to me.

But why would one who's loved by you
Forget your wondrous care?

And so I wanted you to know

How much you mean to us 

And that I'll never once forget 

How much you care for me.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness

Proverbs 31:16-27

You are such a wonderful person Mama, and I love you very much. This poem I wrote came to me two nights ago and I didn't want to forget it. I was thinking about your birthday and how it has come so fast and soon when the words just popped into my head. I wrote them down as fast as I could hoping not to forget a thing, but when I did forget, the words came right back and never went away until I wrote them down. And now when I think about it I feel the Lord was telling me to write it. I had a big lump in my throat and I couldn't go to sleep. I love you very much and wish you a very happy birthday. I will try to make it as special as I can. I love you!

PS. One day I wish to work as hard as you do, be like you and love like you.
