This is my little sunshine.  She is almost 1 1/2 yrs old.  She loves to dance to music, and here she is "playing" the piano.  She actually is pretty good.  The banging sounds like music when you are in the other room!  :)  

I was just thinking how I get so caught up in everything that has to be done.  I'm always busy.  I can't seem to get the laundry done, the house clean, and school done.  So I am so busy that I often miss the smiles.  Soon they will be all grown up.  I know that it is more important to spend the time loving them, than all the cleaning and school.  Why is it so hard to apply what we know to our lives?

We cleaned out an apartment tonight.  It was the apartment of a gentleman that we have known for about 3 years.  He died about a week and a half ago.  He was only 61....but he had spent his life doing things that hurt his body.  He was an alcoholic and smoked.  He died lonely and in pain.  We have had quite the ordeal trying to find the family that he told us he had.  It was really sad.  My husband had stayed by his side most of the last week of his life because no one else would.  It made me think a lot.  I want my children to want to be with me when I'm old and grey.  I want them to have good memories of me.  It also made me realize what a wonderful husband that I have.  He is patient and has a servants heart.   I thank God for my family!
