Today my daughter and I spent the afternoon with our friends! It was a wonderful afternoon, and my girlfriend caught this amazing shot of our girls! They look so much like little ladies having coffee with each other ;) of course it was hot cocoa! But I edited it a bit and this is what I came up with.... I just adore it!

Think of just today my friend, don't worry about tomorrow,don't fret about yesterday... don't worry about anything but yourself, although it is so hard for you because you are so giving..It's time to be selfish and take care of you. It's okay. It is your time!
My thoughts and prayers will be with you every step of the way. I am here for you if and when you need me. You can be silient, it's okay. I will listen to your struggle. I will have compassion and cry with you. You'll be okay. You will become an inspiration to others... and the best is yet to come.
my love, support and prayers go out to you JoAnna... my friend.
XXOOXXOOXXOO

Last weekend my friend Daphne and her girls Gillian and Emily went to Disney on Ice at our local Events Center.
To top their night off after the event, Daphne and I surprised them with a little treat over at my house. We had ice cream sundays with ALL the toppings!
The girls were tired, but couldn't resist the ice cream! They had never met Larry Bird before so we introduced them to him and they definitely took a liking to him!
Here is Gillian with Larry Bird
Emily (bless her little/BIG heart) was so tired she actually fell asleep on the couch while Daphne and I (no.. not the girls.. but US) helped ourselves to a SECOND helping of ice cream! :)
Emily awoke to Larry Bird on her shoulder. I snapped this picture just as she woke up! She didn't get scared, or startled.. but just excited to see him.. isn't that just the cutest????
Such a nice treat!!! And I was finally able to put my sugar and creamers to good use!!!!

My friend Daphne recently had a birthday
(this is a picture of her at her wedding last year with her girls)
Emily is on the left and Gillian is on the right.
During the days prior to Daphne's birthday her daughter Emily worked diligently on a project in her room.It was a hush hush secret and come the day of her Birthday Emily presented her with the following gift... I just had to post it because it is the sweetest thing I have ever seen!
She had been making Daphne her very own paper doll set complete with tabbed outfits and matching accessories!
(I just LOVE the cotton briefs with the bow!!!!)
Absolutely darling!!!!!
The blue and green dress and hat her other daughter Gillian made for her! I just think the thought behind this and all the effort she put into it is just absolutely adorable!! I just HAD TO SHARE THIS!!!!! I can't wait till my B-day, maybe I can ask for one!!!!
