Black & White Wednesday......My Girl~


Faith has been off of school these past 2 weeks for Spring break and I am sooooooo enjoying these days home with her. (Reed is on a totally different spring break schedule. His does not start until next week. Dean has been off as he is on the same schedule as Faith) With Dean being 14 he does not care to spend much time with his Mom. Imagine that! :) Faith however has been wanting to spend every moment with me. I am, for the most part, just loving it! It is times like these I wish I had it in me to home school so I could have her home with me every day. She enjoys school so much though and she is so social and out going that I know she would miss her days spent at school with her classmates. One morning as we were racing to school to try and get her to class before the tardy bell rang (which is most mornings with getting 3 off to 3 different schools) I mentioned to her teacher that I should homeschool Faith just so we wouldn't have to feel so rushed every morning. Her teacher said Oh no, you couldn't do that. Faith enjoys school way too much." On her latest report card she wrote the following comments....
" Faith has the best attitude at school. She is always smiling and having a good time."


So I will so cherish these days with her while I have them. She is growing up so fast. I can not believe in just 3 short months she will be 7!!!


the long road

These photos were taken about a month ago when we went to San Francisco to see all of the tulips. I am the one that always has the camera so I am glad that Dale grabbed the camera and took a few.........

They are really pretty in color because of the tulips, but I played around with the editing in b & w and am really happy with them. Of course I am never happy with how I turn out in photos.


To see more black and white photos or to join in on the fun go here!

She is so darling! What a little sweetie! I love these pictures. I think some children really need school for the social aspects. I think they learn a ton just from interacting with each other! My son does not like school at all, but he still likes going because of his friends. I hope the rest of your break is wonderful!

what beautiful pictures, Colleen!! How nice to see you in some pics!

I know just what you mean about enjoying each and every moment! Time sure does fly by, doesn't it.

Isn't it great that Faith loves school so much!! That must make you so at peace! I hope to be able to say the same about my two when they start K in the fall!

Happy Easter, my friend!!!

love,
Michelle
