~ For sweet little girls who are always so helpful around the house.

~ For classic books and time spent reading in mommy’s big bed. We seem to be plowing through the classics and are currently almost done Black Beauty.

~ For time spent together sewing and making our own toys.

~For our first real signs of spring weather and our spring nature shelf.

~ For the sweet sound of singing birds morning, noon and night.

~ For curious little toddlers who love their rubber boots and mud puddles.

~ For endless paintings and drawings, just for me. I can’t get enough. 🙂

Kesa’s painting of me and her.

Autumn’s copy of a sun poem from our book of poetry. We’ve been reading and writing a lot of poems.

~ For the Waldorf toys we have been waiting to come in the mail.

~ For family. For health. For happiness.

~ For daughters and the things that you learn from them. I am always trying to be a better woman because of them, always desiring to give them the best childhood possible and being the best example that I can be.

~ For the amazing artistic qualities that I never knew we had. It seems like everyone in this house is a little artist these days. Kesa is always drawing or painting and the girls are constantly making up their own paper dolls and coloring sheets too.

Autumn’s drawings from our animal studies.

My drawing of the Canada Goose and an owl.

~ For finishing up another dance year. The girls put on a wonderful show and Autumn did fantastic at her solo.

Kesa is the second to last ballerina.

And the finale…

Life is beautiful! 🙂
