signs of spring...

I heard a bit of a ruckus outside the window and saw a sweet pair of little parents making a new home on my porch! 

daddy standing guard...

while momma inspects her work and adds bits more fluffing.

I helped her out when I saw that they had flown away and put some string and yarn on the chair nearby.

I can't wait to share this with the kids when they get home. 

I hope we don't scare them too much, this is actually a pretty busy porch!

I will keep you updated when the babies show up!

a bit more spring...

Hannah brought me in this sweet bouquet yesterday.

I know, I'm a lucky mom:)

The mantle is now springified!

a bit more spring...

Counting freckles on Hannah's 13th birthday!

I think they just add to her beauty...

Saturday was not only John's graduation, but also Hannah's 13th birthday!

Waiting at the stadium for the festivities to begin.

a bit more spring...

Saturday was also prom for Cam and his girlfriend Audrey!

Audrey is a senior so this is their last high school prom.

I love this picture of them.  She always has that big smile and well Cam just looks so sweet.

Happy Spring!!!

love,

vintage inspiration...

For me, nothing strikes the inspiration nerve like an old photo.   My blog header photo of my mom's family is a good example, I love that photo, it's so full of happiness and you can just feel the love they share for eachother.  That is the love I grew up with.  I am blessed.
So when I find a photo that depicts that kind of love I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame and I just want to give it a new life.

This one spoke to me, I think they look like they share a promise of a new life with one another.

A bond. sometimes sparkly, sometimes somewhat tarnished, but a bond none the less.

where you promise your heart, as it sometimes dangles carelessly for all to see.

together, gathering the scraps, baubles and treasures that life throws your way...

with the hope of music always in your ears so that when the dance is over you still hear the violin.

I hope you dance...

I am linking this up to Vintage Inspiration Friday over @  Debra's!

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. I get a bit melancholy when I'm tired... sweet dreams xoxo
