Some new things mixed with the old

Spring has sprung!  New things have begun! 

The other day Chad pointed out to me our daffodils were coming up and starting to bloom!  And this morning on the way home from dropping V off at school, I saw a big garden of daffodils blooming around the base of a tree.  How pretty to see a beautiful bunch of yellow coming out of the ground.  I love the way things begin new again after being "dead".  Or even life, how it has a way of getting hectic, full of trials and problems but a new day always begins with new hope and  God's mercies for that day.  And I need to remind myself it is only enough for that day.  Not tomorrow.  Nor the next day or the day after that.  Just rest in Him.  Ahhh. 
But as life gets crazy and out of control, nothing can replace that peace that comes only from our Lord.  And we have to go to Him for it, not other people and things.  I am not saying that He can't use other people to comfort us and give us strength and help but we need to go to Him first.  And ask Him to provide for us. He is so faithful.

The other day V and I went to her eye dr. appt.  (thanks Sharon and Taylor for babysitting H!!) 

And my girl got contacts!!  Here she is washing her hands to practice taking them out and putting them in.

The eye dr. put them in so she is trying to take them out.

Now she is trying to put them in!  After about 25 min. of trying, mom stepped in and

had them in after about 10 min.  Oh the joy of helping her in a new thing in her life, one of many to come!  :)

Here is H in her new dress that Sharon bought her!  My little princess. :)

It was a windy day as we were leaving church.

Running towards home...

until she spotted V running towards her and she turned around and took off running to get away from her. 

Too funny!!

A little chilly today, only 46 degrees but really sunny! 

We went out for a walk and visited our neighbors and she had new toys to play with!

I hope you are able to enjoy some new things in your life too!
