Family Life

Two doctor appointments

Two dentist appointments 

a holiday

Prom

and a new car

all in the span of one week.



 When my kids were little I used to think life would slow down when they got older.  But that hasn't been the case.  We are just as busy now, if not more.

Every week life throws us a different set of  tasks.
Some weeks are slower, other weeks are fuller.
But we manage to get through them,
just like we always have,  just like we always will.

Although sometimes on the full weeks I'd like to sneak in a nap or two.


Youngest daughter attended her junior prom.  She's not much for flaunt or frill. She and her date kept it simple with classic black and gold.
You can't go wrong with that combination.  It's elegant and timeless.

Who says you have to follow trends anyway?


Valentine's Day came and went.  Many flowers were bought.  A dozen roses to be exact.  Sent to dear sons girlfriend of two years, by him of course.  I also recall a giant teddy bear and a heart full of chocolates.

I  opted to buy plants for my two daughters.  This one for our oldest.

This one for our youngest.

Oldest daughter P purchased a new car.  She was still driving her first car that she got on her seventeenth birthday six years ago.  An upgrade was in order and it was comforting for her to have her dear old dad be there to do the negotiating.  That's what dad's are for after all.

The car is not new but it is new to her which is just as good.  Low miles, good price, 30mpg...
and the bonus is the alien green color.   So very New Mexico.

Chicken Pot Pie...
comfort food for this family of five.

In the mean time, I'm out of my curly hair products.  I've squeezed every last bit I could out of them and I haven't  made it to Walgreens to pick up some more.

So while my hair may be a little frizzy and the balance in our checking account is running low...

this week's needs have been met,

 my heart is full,

and I am content.

  7. You have had a busy week. Your daughter looked beautiful as did her partner; black is always in vogue. Such a pretty corsage, it sets of the dress perfectly. How exciting your daughter has a 'new' car...it's a beauty.

  11. Your chicken pie looks good. I hope your daughter enjoyed her prom, I remember my eldest son getting ready for his. A suit, shirt etc and then we arranged for a corsage with a beaded bracelet keepsake. We contributed towards the posh car but the girl he went with, though they were only ever just friends, they don't really get on as well as they'd both hoped. Love the little crocheted hearts.
