Dream Come True

The challenge for this month at Blush-n-Dusty is to create a layout about a dream come true. When I went up to my parents earlier this month, I scanned some more family pictures and old documents. One of the pictures I scanned, is this one of my sister-in-law and my nephew. I decided to use it for this month's challenge and would like to thank Lorraine and Carl for giving me permission to post it, along with the story of their dream come true, on my blog. Steven has grown considerably since this picture was taken (he looks so much like my brother now). I always like to stop in at their place when I go up north and visit with them. The quote I used is by Lyman Abbott, "A child is a beam of sunlight from the infinite and eternal."

Raquel is having a sleepover today, with one of her best friends, so I decided to take the girls swimming. We all had a good time at the pool, but were a little disappointed that the hot tub wasn't working. Ayden got fairly cold after about an hour and so we decided it was time to come home. I thought it would help tire everyone out and maybe the older girls might not be up till the wee hours of the morning. By the looks of things I was wrong, as they are still busy watching movies and playing their Nintendo DS games. They will probably be up later than I am going to be, as I did not get a good sleep last night and am rather tired myself. It worked for Ayden though, as for once she fell asleep early. The last few days it has been snowing and rather cool, so we have not been spending a lot of time outside, much to Ayden's disappointment. We did get some of the flower beds clean out and a few leaves raked up the other day, the rest will just have to wait until the weather improves again. Hopefully that will be soon, as I am very tired of snow.

Have a nice weekend!!!
