Little Miss Elsa

 Like every other little kid, my baby loves Frozen.  

 I took these pictures to show the grandparents how she looks in the Elsa dress they bought her, but she was feeling rather self-conscious.  :)

Cute though, isn't she?

Go see ReMoved if you are interested in a 12-minute moving documentary of the life of a foster kid.  It really makes me think.  What can I do to help these kids?

Thankful Thursday

Two days ago, I was thankful for the ice that kept the kids home from school in the morning.  One of my children was so relieved that she cried, happy that she didn't have to take a math test that day.

 The ice was pretty on the trees. and I was also thankful that one of my girls liked to take pictures of the trees just like her mommy.

Today is the first day of spring.  It feels like Mother Nature finally remembered to consult the calendar.  It is so nice outside, sunny and in the low 60s.  Here is my morning view through the kitchen window.  Fake flowers, yes, but I still like them.  :)

Finally, I'm thankful that I was able to go to Greece and Italy with My Husband and our oldest daughter.  He had to go to Greece on business.  He invited me, and we decided to take this child because she had a passport and because she'll be leaving us soon for college. We just got back on Monday.  It was a really nice trip.
