Happy "16th" Birthday to our youngest Holland!!

Wow ~ what JOY and LAUGHTER this kid has brought to our lives over these last 16 years!  He's always quick witted and such a comedian ~ most of the times without trying!

 

Still hard to wrap my head around the fact that our youngest is 16. Makes me feel old but more than that I feel and know that I am truly blessed!

Have been so blessed with a wonderful husband and three fabulous boys that have grown into such fine young men! I'm one proud momma can you tell?!

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Grandma/Great-Grandma!

Tomorrow is my Grandmother's birthday too!  What an independent women she is! Still volunteers, sings in her church choir and loves to go to concerts - not the kind of concerts my boys do but Jazz! :) We love you grandma ~ wish we could be with you on YOUR DAY!

 

 

Have a blessed day!

Last Friday we painted another Fall inspired painting with oak leaves, acorns, scrollwork and words of gratitude!
This painting was so warm and I just love the "feel" of it! Everyone did a wonderful job and I hope they'll paint it on many more things this Fall season!
