...preparation for our Summer garden is in full swing! Ben has cleared off a new spot for this year's garden down by the creek. I can't wait to eat fresh veggies again!
Here are some things I have missed:

:: Everyone working together to feed the family

:: Seeing him love this so much

:: Mud fights

:: Her wearing gowns out to the garden to help

:: Hosing the kids down before they come inside
:: And that rotating pile of dirty little duds that seem to stay on the welcome mat
What do you miss?

I read the blog from a few days ago when you addressed the fact that someone said something negative... This person obviously doesn't know you.... You and your family are some of the most amazing people i know... I have known you since the age of 5... we grew up trompin' around the streets til the streetlights came on.... hehe! Even tho we don't talk as often as we should... and our lives have taken us on very different paths... I still consider you one of my very best friends... You are an amazing mother, wife, daughter, aunt, sister, etc.... Those who poke fun at your life are only envious of what you have... Its something that is very hard to come by this day and age... Keep doing what your doing and don't let these people sneak in and dampen your spirits... You are an inspiration to so many people... Including myself...
I love you Sam!
we're buying our first house this month so i am looking forward to having a little more room from now on. :) i'm also looking forward to starting my first garden. i don't know much about gardening, so it's sure to be an adventure.
Hey Crys!
Oh my goodness! How many days did we dig away at that old rock?? I have told my kids about that over and over, they LOVE that story! And the trolley! How many times did we zoom across the yard on that trolley? I can remember riding it upside down too! Beck wrote to me yesterday and said she may be in Iraq soon. We will be praying for her everyday. When she gets back on US soil you need to drive up and we can all get together. We can take the kids through the pipe to the old school, to the old park, through the old creek bed, and we can tell them about all of our adventures from growing up. Wouldn't that be fun! I'm sure Beck will be full of interesting stories about the Navy too.
I miss you too! Tim and Molly were just talking about you the other day, I know they miss you.
Love you,
Sam
