Life with MY Princess: March 2008

For starters, I apologize to my loyal blog readers for not getting on here and posting much lately. It's been a CRAZY month.

First of all, our family suffered a great loss in February. Dustin's Mom passed away unexpectadly Feb. 25th. She will always be remembered for her kindness, loyalty, her gardening skills, knitted slippers (we're all going to have to deal with cold feed now!) and her special baked beans that we all loved so dearly! Holidays won't be the same without them. (amongst MANY other things that she will be remembered for!) I LOVED watching her with my daughter. They cherished one another. She enjoyed showing Adriana all about the outside world. The plants. The trees. The bugs (that Adriana hated, but Grandma was determined to help her get over her fears). The frogs. The dog. The puddles. Picking/eating fresh fruits and veggies from the garden. Running up and down the "mountain" (as Adriana called it) out behind their house. Making homeade apple cider and the blueberry pancakes with Grandma's "special flour" (some gluten free stuff). They really had a great time when they were together. She will forever be missed. She left very impressive marks on all of our hearts and will never be forgotten. RIP Ma! We love you and miss you LOTS! Below is a goofy photo of her, But Adriana took it (all by herself!) so that's enough to make me post it here with all of you.

On to other things: My niece Lyllie turned 2 a few weeks ago. This is a picture of Adriana and Lyllie on the horse at Caesarland! :) FUN times! Happy Birthday Lyllie! We love you!

My beautiful blossoming Spring flower!

Time to dye some eggs!!! Adriana was "SOAK excited"

CHEESE! She was SO proud!

The Easter Bunny CAME!

He brought Adriana some bubbles, a "Princess Moon Sand" kit, 2 tshirts, sunglesses, the fishing game, a little bit of candy AND...her PRINCESS UMBRELLA! (That's what she told EVERYONE that she wanted the bunny to bring her.)
