I am missing my other and better half along with our sanity restoring Friday date nights. He is away laying the stepping stones to a new life for us and our children in Idaho Falls. I am quickly discovering all the little things he has taken care of for us that I have taken forgranted. Being alone with five children has made me reexamine myself. I had always thought I had a rather calm and patient nature. I think I was mistaken! Please call any of your friends raising children alone and take them out to lunch. They need it.

These photo were taken on one of our date nights back in January. We really enjoyed the Getty Villa. I doubt Idaho Falls will be this lush in January!

Danny is smiling while anticipating munching down fat juicy red strawberries. Underwood Farm is one of the places that gives our little town it's unique flavor. Danny, Noah, and Tyler are enjoying a tractor pulled wagon ride. Moms come to Away We Grow Preschool with their children. Next year I will sorely miss the preschool adventures Danny and I have shared.

"Spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of Gods kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."

Mother Teresa
