Enjoy every day




Its the little things in life that really give pleasure

That is my Great-nephew I am holding. I kind of miss having little baby boys around. I am glad mine are the age they are because every age of your children is a great age, but I still enjoy holding the babies.
Strange though it may seem Micah and Matthew don't want to even give me a hug anymore and they are far too big to hold. Joshua is married and lives an hour and a half away, but they are a blast to have around. I enjoy every day with them.
I know everyone is complaining about the snow in May and I understand. My corn is not planted yet, Tulip Time in Pella is a wreck. But at least enjoy the beauty of the snow.

Think about it for the rest of your life any time anyone complains about the weather in May, you will be able to say; You think this weather is bad why I remember back in 2013 when we had snow on Tulip Time, you kids don't know nothing about bad weather.
Matthew is a senior in Pella Christian High this year. We have had the soccer team at our house for a meal before they play Oskaloosa for the last 3 years.I have enjoyed the short time they are at our house and I will miss the crowd of boys showing up and devouring everything in sight before heading off to the game.
I guess what I am trying to say is enjoy every day, because they pass so quickly and the little babies grow up and get married the older generation passes away. You can't go back and spend more time with the ones you love. Spend it with them now and have fun in every situation.
