Swimming.Golfing (boys).
Enjoying breakfast outside in the warmish morning air with my girls on mother's day (yes, I let dad sleep in so he wouldn't be tired driving home).Tea parties.
Good conversation while watching the sunset fade, not to forget the 8 hours in the car.Really it was exactly what I needed to replenish my spirit, but didn't know it until driving home yesterday when I knew I was ready to get back into the rush of life.
I am still in a daze that school ends in a mere 3 weeks. Not to mention a birthday on the way for my 4 turning 5 year old. Oh yeah and a big European trip to get ready for. Life does move to fast. I remember a time I couldn't wait for this crazy time to pass and as I've been packing up all the winter cloths and getting ready for the summer today I just want it to slow down a bit so I can soak it all up. I don't feel I've done that great a job enjoying the craziness the last 7 years, but I am determined to make the rest of 2007 move at a gentle pace.

It sounds like an excellent weekend. Is the pool at your parents' house or at a Club House type thing? I'm sure the girls loved it.
Europe? Oooo how exciting. When are you guys heading out? That sunset is breath taking. Glad to hear you got some good relaxing time for Mother's Day. :)
Glad you had a fun weekend. I find I enjoy life the most during the craziness. It makes me feel fulfilled, surrounded by those whom I love.
I just wanted to leave a comment and tell you I really enjoyed your posts on the Design Mom blog the other week. I finally found the link to your blog in her archives, and I have enjoyed reading it.
I live an hour north of St. George and I go down and teach there every Saturday...it really is such a great place. Glad you had a wonderful weekend!!
A gentle pace. Is there such a thing? Truly, there is. I understand.
Oh it will be lovely to see your photos from Europe. I love this time of year with summer approaching.
I can't wait to see your parent's new house. All I keep hearing is the reinactment of your dad yelling, "ISN"T THIS PLACE LIGHTS OUT!!!!!" So happy for them!
I always want things a little slower but it never seems to happen. Your upcoming events sounds fabulous! I can't wait to hear more about Europe! And a 4 turning 5 yr old is serious business. We went through that in Nov.
Little 'get-aways' are always so needed and fun. Usually, it's when you get home you realize how much it was needed. ;) That's life! :DLove the photo of you and your sweet one. I've discovered that mommy's don't end up in enough photos..lovely photo.
The middle picture is my favorite. I am glad you had a great day, just what you needed!
Fun trip - sounds like a great getaway! We missed you though!
EUROPE? Do tell!
Beautiful sunset and really cute pix of your kids! Great to hear your doing well and that a trip is in the works for Europe! Sounds like fun!
I wish "gentler pace" could be had merely by asking. I love the picture of you & your daughter. You are truly beautiful!
sounds like a fun trip to St. George, I could realy use a get away too! I too can't believe it is May and school is ending. Time moves too quickly!
Your photography is incredible!
I feel like I'm always looking for a way to slow life down a bit. How to find a gentle pace. That is a very worthy quest.
8 hours, did you go to St. George or Lake Powell? I guess you mean both ways...
Sounds like a nice weekend with family.
I keep waiting for life to slow down too- it only gets faster and faster! Can't believe it's May!
Love that shot of you and your daughter! Glad you feel refreshed after a lovely trip.
I'm glad you had a great St. George get away! When I lived in Cedar City we went ther eall the time. I love the place!
