Time Marches On....

Nearly the whole month of March is gone! Tomorrow is Sara's 1st birthday, I can hardly believe it. Last night I was going through some of her newborn photos and I wonder how she grew into a toddler almost overnight! My family celebrated with Sara last Saturday since her Daddy has to work this weekend. Her birthday celebration with her mommy's family will be tomorrow, and no I haven't been invited. Anyway, enough of that, let me get to posting a few of the photos from March!

March 1
I love watching my precious angel while she is asleep. I have enough sleeping photos of her to fill an album!


March 2
This little sugar bowl was another tiny treasure I got from my grandma Avis' house after she passed away. I love the colors and pattern, reminds me of scrapbook stuff! I must have been in a hurry or got interrupted because I didn't check the photos afterwards and my flowers are way out of focus.


March 3
I keep thinking about how fast the time has flown by since Sara was born. Already she has grown out of these little bitty shoes.


March 4
I went a second time and looked at a one bedroom apartment here in the same complex where I live. They have a waiting list for the end of April but I gave them a deposit to put me on that list. They are pretty certain one will open up by then. The layout of the apartment is really cute, but I am going to have to downsize a bit more. The only thing really wrong with it is that my little Sara Ann won't be living there too. But I am still excited about the move, For the first time in my life I will be living alone and I'm looking forward to it!


March 5
I found these kinda cool blends at Cottage Arts.com and decided to play around a bit. I think this would be more suited to roses or something not quite so springy, but it was fun to experiment! Oh yeah, the tulips were "picked fresh" at Michaels, LOL!


March 6
Yikes! I must have missed a day, I can't find a photo for March 6th!

March 7
Joshie's birthday party! His birthday isn't actually until March 8th but this day worked out well for having a party at Mr. Gatti's. All my grandkids got to go, it was somewhat wild that day but they always have a lot of fun when they get together.
Happy Birthday Sweetie, I love you very much!


March 8
All of Tammy's kids came by to spend some time with me today. It was a little chilly and overcast, but I think we were all glad to get outside for a little while. They like to make their rounds here on the apt. complex property, their favorite place being the pool area...even in the dead of winter they have to check and see if it is open yet! They will be excited next visit because the maintenance man has gotten all the deck chairs out in preperation of pool opening day next month!
Here is my Princess Meikina looking all cute and sassy:)


March 9
Steak and Shake has a happy hour special, 50% off shakes and drinks, M-F 2-4pm! I get off work at 3:30 and have just enough time to run by the drive thru and pick up a treat for Sara and I to share when I get home...nothing like ruining dinner huh? YumYum!


March 10
Today it actually warmed up enough to go outside without a jacket! Sara loved being out on the patio, and I got several photos of her. Something about this one just grabbed me, maybe it's the soft light drawing my eyes to her precious face


March 11
Playing with the photo blends from Cottage Arts again, this time with some roses I picked at Michael's years ago, hahaaa! gotta love the kind that don't die! Not sure I like the effect, but I enjoyed working with it.


March 12
Management has started to put a few pretty blooms out around the grounds...


March 13
Friday the 13th! No matter the date, it's finally Friday! Here is the sweatshirt I wore to work. (Casual Fridays, the only day for jeans and sweatshirts, and other fun stuff like team logos, etc.) Sara loves the bears, and has learned to say "bear" and of course it's true, my Grandkids are the Beary Best! a little bias on my part, but still....

March 14
My Sweetie girl loves to "read". She opens her book and pretends to read but is really good to just sit and let others read to her.


March 15
Precious little one! Sara is growing into some of Meikina's outfits, so out comes the camera!


March 16
Spring is nearer, things are starting to grow! Look at the tiny leaves on these shrubs at the edge of my patio...hate the thorns tho, I worry that the kids (especially Sara since she's so little and doesn't understand what could happen) will fall into them sometime...no matter tho, since I'll be moving in about 6 weeks.


March 17
St. Patrick's Day! I don't really do much except try to remember to wear something green so the department goof at work doesn't pinch me! Here is some green for today tho, my little pot of Hens and Chickens, a contribution from my Mother. I love these little growing things, and they lived thru the winter!


March 18
My Sara reading again...guess what she's getting from me for her birthday?? :)



Okay, that's all I can do for today. Have a great weekend!

Blessings and hugs,
Cheryl
