Speak the truth even if your voice shakes.

Trevor got to go on a plane ride on Saturday.  He is usually pretty nervous about that kind of stuff, but when I asked him if he is going to dare ride it, he answered in a bold steady voice, "yeah!"  When he didn't hesitate a bit, I decided that he really will probably be okay. Well he did just great and was very excited when he got back!  Thanks Dane!!

Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.

-James A. Michener

Kids are the greatest example of this, they want to do everything RIGHT NOW!!

 And as hard as it is for me to get out the door, I always love going to watch the elementary track and field.  They are there just giving everything they've got.

And the little ones are into it just as much as spectators!

There are a thousand tiny things from which one can weave a bright necklace of little pleasures of one's life.

-Hermann Hesse

Right now life's necklace is being weaved by these lovely children!  Traditions, celebrations and daily life are the little pleasures around here.  Last week we celebrated two birthdays!!

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

-Catherine Deneuve

I have photographed a few weddings now and every time I do I find new opportunity to get pictures from the day.  I have found that little details like this are fun for the bride and groom to have.  I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding for friends last weekend.  This is one of my favorite snapshots from the day.

Go see Leann's opportunities!

I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.

-Dolly Parton

I don't really have any pictures of old people for this week's theme.  We did cover a couple milestones last week though that remind us that we are getting older.  Our 5th kindergarten graduation happened last week!!  Hurray!

Also our third child turned 10!!  {We have a teenager coming up in a couple of weeks....another new phase!}

Oh, but speaking of old...I love this old picture of my Dad! It is from his 60th birthday a couple years ago, so no he isn't really that old, but he definitely has youth shining through!!

Go check out Leann's elderly pictures!

Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.

Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.

-Kate Douglas Wiggin

Not the best picture, but I forgot to grab my camera yesterday morning and missed some great pictures at our Mother's Day meal after church.  Of course the kids had some lovely gifts for me in the morning and that is the best part!  They were all so excited to give Mom the cards they made.  I love them all as well as my own mother and the mother I gained when I married my husband!  Hope you all had a 

Happy Mother's Day!!

Linking up with Leann again this month.
