Our Trip to Maryland.....



I'm sure I can't write all the highlights of our trip but I could try to write a few.....
One of the best highlights for Matt and I was the chance to catch up on our long road out there. We've been racing from one set of company to the other all summer and life has been TOO busy. So this was a wonderful chance to talk.
I think the boys were ready for some time w/ just us too.
What else?....It was wonderful to be in Maryland again. That part of Maryland is beautiful! It soothes my soul!
It's green and rolling and I can go to the woods and pick a nice bouquet of flowers....which I did w/ Zerrick's help.
~Visiting under the big tent
~Watching the kids play some sort of softball w/ the toddler bat and ball
~Having Ralph help Matt and Dave make hot wings on Saturday evening.
~Running around the homeplace trying to find all 24 clues for the treasure hunt with Zerrick.
~The guys played horse shoes.
~The cool fresh air.
~ making more new friends and catching up w/ the old...



The barrel rides were one of the hits of the weekend for the kids.


That icecream of Uncle Allen's freezes the brains!


A mom w/ two of her best friends....she loves her daughters and they love her.


We celebrated Zerrick's birthday on Sunday evening...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...
