What a beautiful day.  It is so hard to be sitting here at work on such a wonderful day.  We had a busy weekend between shopping, weekend chores, church and meeting up with Grandma Mel.  I wish life would slow down.  I still can't believe we are in May already.

Angela and Mommy took a walk to giant eagle Sunday late afternnon to get a new pot and soil for the plants that we got when Grandpa Bowman passed.  They are beautiful and I am hoping that even though I do not have a "green thumb" I can keep them alive.  They ladies here at work helped me keep them going here at work during the colder months, but now it is up to me for the summer.  They are sitting on the railing on either side of the steps comming up to the front porch.  Grandpa loved to work in the yard, so they are a happy memory if him.

Daddy is finally feeling better, but we think that Jacey caught it, so we can only hope that she will get over it a little faster.  With it being viral, only time is the cure.  Please keep her in your prayers because there is another issue they are dealing with, please visit her site for details.

Now that it is noce outside, we can not keep Angela in doors.  She loves to be outside, so I am going to try go for a walk in the evening so I can get the excersie I need.  I know I enjoy getting out and she just talks up a storm and tells me everything she sees along the way.

When I got Angela up this morning, I took her and sat her on the potty and she went.  We are starting the potty training, so I plan to get her up and put her on the potty every morning.  I also put a pull up on her this morning, so we are off to a start.  we only have 5 months to get this accomplished.

I have been thinking about getting the storm windows out and out away for the summer, but it is still cooler in the evenings and with the storm windows still in, the house stays warm, so the furance does not kick on.  We do have the screens in the doors and Mommy & Daddy;s storm windows are out, but have done any of the other ones yet.  I am sure the dogs would like to have the kitchen windows open during the day, so I may just do those tonight.

Angela recognized the number 2 & 4 without help last night.  I was so proud of her.  She surprises us with something new everyday.  She continues to make each day enjoyable and reminds be to look at the simply things in life.
