Dealing with death....

It was time this weekend to discuss death of a loved one with the children. My Uncle Jim passed away on Friday night from a 9 month battle with Cancer.  He is my father's brother and we were close to him.  This week will be hard but we will all get through it as a family. 

This is a picture from my wedding - Uncle Jim and Aunt Dot - praying for her and my cousins. 

I will be back at the end of the week sometime with some school fun stuff -but for now, we will be pulling the hugs in tight.  

Hope your week is special in someway and don't let the minutes, days or weeks slip you by

Be Blessed!

Prayers for you and your family. We too are expecting a death, my Mother. It has been a long three years and it is time for her to be with God. I will miss her.

I am so sorry to hear this, Melissa.

My uncle, with whom I am really close, is battling cancer for three months now. It's so hard to watch someone you love suffer.

I will keep you and your family in my thought and prayers.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit.

The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up!  Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit.
