Saturday, March 12, 2011. It's a true sign of Spring to come when I can plant these hardy little ones.I'm so very much looking forward to planting and working in my yard this Spring.I can hardly stand it! Last year we moved in right as spring was starting and so I got to know all the shrubs and bulbs planted in my yard.and then this past Fall I decided to add to the bulbs and planted 100 more throughout. If you look REALLY close you can see the first little bulbs starting to poke thru. Nice pics, Ang!

http://fontainefamilythoughts.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. We've been busy around here- these past few weeks have flown by with lots of fun activities and new experiences! First was Brandon's 8th birthday- we had such a great day celebrating him.I'm in awe of this young man who is growing up right before my eyes. He is growing up so fast, but will still let his mamma snuggle him at night when no one is loooking =) I'll take what I can get! The kids loved Seattle so much.I loved seeing their smiles and energy!

She and her group sang and danced to three popular songs and boy did they ever make an impression! Unfortunately we were not allowed to use flash photography so my shots all came our blurry. Ava beamed with confidence, even when they all fumbled over the words and choreographed routine (they needed about 8 more weeks to practice! Love t...

Thursday, March 31, 2011. What does it mean to be a "good" mom? Does it mean you want to do better than your own mother did? Or the grandmother who helped influence you? Or is it a desire to be different than your friends? And where does the confidence come from when your a mother? Do you find it from your childhood or from the environment around you? Does being a good mother mean you have warmth? Compassion from deep within? Are a good homemaker? Can you make a rocking meatloaf that everyone will eat?
