Splash time!

Anu loves the water so much.


What you Can and Cannot change.....

There are many things you can change, and there are many things you simply cannot change. Both kinds of things can add value to your life.

With the things you can change, you have the opportunity to improve the circumstances in your own life and in the world around you. In dealing with the things you cannot change, you can grow stronger and develop real wisdom, patience, acceptance, and flexibility.

There is much you can learn from the things you cannot change. You can use that knowledge and experience to positively affect those things you can change.

The things you cannot change give you a base from which to work. The things you can change give you an ever-increasing world of possibilities.

By gently accepting what you cannot change and finding positive ways to deal with it, you lay the groundwork for success. By understanding what you can change and finding positive ways to put that change to work, success and achievement begin to happen.

What a blessing it is to live in a world where there are both things you can change and things you cannot. Each turn of events, in its own way, gives you the opportunity for adding richness to life.
-- Ralph Marston

Have a great day!!! : )

Love this. I read it everyday and it helps me when I get mad or sad. I tell myself there are some things I will never be able to change!

Labor Day weekned


My Sister and my Mom flew me and Anu home to surprise my Dad for his 50th Birthday. I was so nervous flying with Anu alone because she is older and more active. The first half of the flight was awesome she did great but the second half we stopped in Phoenix and had to pick up people and she was not having it. She was so fussy even before we took off that I just wanted to get off the plane and try and catch another flight. But i knew I couldn't do that.

My Dad was so happy to see us! He didn't eat his dinner he held Anuhea the whole time!!! While we were in town we got to catch my little brother's football game and I made Anu the cutest Outfit for the game, went to the beach, saw lots of family, and Anu came back with a whole new wardrobe thanks to my Dad.
