Jan 20th....A sad day....the BFF is heading home :(
But really, I am so thankful for her....for her willingness to come down and visit me, to make me laugh (a LOT!!), to make me feel like things are 'normal', even if just for a weekend.  She is the best!

After all the chaos left (aka, Betsy Ann Conaway...lol), and after the kids and I did some small projects around the house, we went outside in the BEAUTIFUL 60 degree weather....such freaky weather here, but I'll enjoy the "good" between all the "bad" (there's a life lesson in there somewhere :)  ).

 It's interesting as I look at these shadow pictures.....how I can see my kid's personalities, characteristics, etc even in their 'shadows'.  I won't go into detail, if you know my kids, then you can see it too ;)  .I love how different, unique and truly amazing they are.  They are some of the strongest kids I have ever known and I am humbled to be a part of their lives.  God is good....all the time.....
