This week’s theme – Playtime.
One of his favorite things to do is to “read” Toy Story on the IPad. He is constantly asking for Woody and Buzz. This week, while on vacation, he was listening to his favorite story so I had to grab the camera for a quick picture.

This week’s theme – Favorites. These two are definitely my favorite!
This was taken at E Carroll Joyner Park at sunset. One of our favorite spots for picnics and family time.

This week’s theme – Mothers.
One of my favorite times of the day is when Owen wakes up from his nap. He is so happy and just loves playing with his letters puzzle and his puppy. This puzzle is one of his absolutely favorite toys – he knows every letter of the alphabet and is content identifying the letters and their sounds and then figuring out the puzzle. I have been meaning to capture this sweet time in the afternoon and finally picked up the camera. I am almost never in pictures with Owen simply because it is usually just me and him when I am taking pictures. Thankful that Michael captured this sweet moment. Truly a special Mother’s day gift – a memory with my son.
Don’t forget to capture your favorite times of the day – and don’t forget to get in the picture every once in a while! Happy Mother’s Day!
This week’s theme – Still Life
Taking a still life with a toddler and little puppy around is almost impossible. I love this picture because Charlie, our little maltese is in the background and the puppy toy is being pulled by Owen. The pots are still but the background is definitely not. The pots are our Mother’s Day gift for Owen’s grandmothers and great grandmothers.
I didn’t get too many pictures of this project. Painting with a toddler is pretty funny. He was covered in paint in about two seconds and so was I! I just kept laughing and then he would laugh and he just kept on painting. The pots turned out really cute, and I’m super excited to give them to the grandmothers.

This week’s theme – Fiesta or Siesta.
It always melts my heart the way Owen just loves his daddy. When he wakes up in the morning, he’s asking for his daddy. If he hears a song that Michael sings to him, he starts screaming, “Oh, daddy!” If the garage door opens, he runs to the back door just screaming. Lately, at nap time, I ask him which book he wants to read and he always picks up My Daddy and Me. So sweet and he loves reading it before going to sleep. Remember bear? He loves reading it, too.

This week’s theme – Things that Grow. 
If you have been to my house, you know that I have a really small yard. Super small and yet I have a love of gardening. I admit, I have not planted like I used to since Owen was born. The image above is the view from my screened in porch – the porch screen is the texture on the image. These climbing roses were planted about four years ago and have grown so much. I love them but I wished they bloomed a little bit longer.
Lavender 
These are called Belinda’s Dream and I ordered them a few years ago from Witherspoon Rose Culture. I absolutely love them – they are beautiful in vases.
The best thing about my Irises is that they are reblooming. They bloom in the spring and the fall. I ordered these online from Schreiner’s Iris Gardens. The one on the left is Queen Dorothy, which is my grandmother’s name. She also had a love of gardening. The iris on the right is called Immortality.
Things that will be blooming soon – my peonies and my hydrangeas. 
My little gardening helpers.Boy, do they love each other!

Last week’s theme was Sacrifice. I am sorry I am a little late in posting – it has been a very busy few weeks. So you might see two 52 week project posts this week. To celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, we made Resurrection Rolls. You can find the recipe here.
First, we gathered our supplies together. You need marshmallows, butter, cinnamon, sugar, and crescent rolls. The marshmallow represents Jesus and his life – pure and without sin. 
Then you dip the marshmallow in butter and roll it around in the sugar and cinnamon mix. The butter represents the embalming oil and the cinnamon and sugar represents the spices.
Next, you wrap the marshmallow in a crescent roll triangle which represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body. Putting them in the oven represents putting Jesus in the tomb. 
He is not here: He has risen just as He said! Matthew 28:6.

We’ve had our Maltese puppy Charlie for five years. I found out about a family that had Maltese puppies in Goldsboro and I probably called three times a day to see if anyone had bought the little boy puppy. Little did I know one day right after I called Michael was there to pick up Charlie. He surprised me later that day with the sweetest little puppy that fit in the palm of your hand. He was so tiny! This week we had another maltese at our house. Jasper is Michael’s brother’s dog and he came to stay for the week while they were on vacation. Guess who was sooo happy to have a new friend to play with.
Owen had a blast playing with Jasper and Charlie this week. The puppies mostly spent the week hiding just outside Owen’s reach.
This week’s theme – Hunger.
There are several things that my little one loves. Eating, sleeping, his letters and choo choos are just a few. But seriously, he LOVES food. He can spot a cookie or chip a mile away. Usually one of the first words he says when he wakes up in the morning is,”Eat?” One of our favorite treats from Whole Foods is their vegan chocolate chip cookies. They are so delicious! So on Wednesday afternoon, we stopped and got a few cookies and had a picnic in the front yard.
