Today was the grandbaby's first birthday party. Lots of beautiful memories made. Today the Christmas cards finally got addressed and stamped and will be dropped into a mail box tomorrow.

Match 17
So it's St. Patrick's Day. And it's the grandbaby's first birthday today. The celebrating comes Saturday. At our house, this guy gave it his all over the past week to find he didn't make the team he wanted to be on. The most amazing part of it all was hearing him say, "I'll never give up trying for what I want."

More snow
Another snow day. Following yesterday's day of rain and forty degree weather. He's been rotating between screens and time with a friend/neighbor.

Day would have been 72 or something like that
I am so amazed by this boy. There are four brothers, and out of all of them, this is the one who least needs his mom. He is content in his own world, just doing what he does. This year, especially, I am left speechless by his initiative and his drive. He is working hard to accomplish the goals he has set for himself. He studies until his head drops over on his books, he helps out when he can, and one day he may even remember to turn the burner off when he's done cooking on the stove. Love this boy. Love all those boys, and all their diversity and the wonderful things that they bring into our lives.
