Random Photo Friday

Happy weekend and Happy May, my friends. This weekend finds us saying "See you soon!" to our Madison, as she returns to Denmark to finish her Danish language course and pack up her belongings before she and Nicolas return here in late June. To stay for an entire year! With us! YAY! We are so very happy, but at the same time, realize that his family will miss them both terribly. I am so very thankful to them for caring for and loving my girl while she was with them these past two years. We are indeed blessed.

Here is a look at some of the fun we had here this past week...

Saturday was Mass,


And Sunday was brunch.

We enjoyed a cozy, snowy day inside,

And a beautiful, sunny day outside.
My mom stayed with us this week,
and we had the best time!
She loves riding in the Jeep!

Madison did my Mom's makeup and she looked just beautiful.
I love this photo of them.
They have a very special relationship, and it touches my heart to think of my Mom taking care of Madison as a baby, and now Madison helping her Grandma all these years later. 
Circle of life, right there. : )

I follow Chris Harrison on social media. 
Because. Who doesn't?!
He posted this picture of himself doing the voice overs for The Bachelorette!!!!

Love this guy!

Insert random photo of Elk crossing the road.
Just another day here, my friends.

My baby girl celebrating our recent visit to the dentist.
Our streak continues!
Twenty one and a half years, four kids, no cavities!!!!!!

Have a happy and blessed and sunny weekend.
If you think of it, send up a prayer on Sunday for my girl, would you?
Thanks so much for all the kindness and love, my friends.
I appreciate it more than you know!

  5. Yeah we had two and ourselves with no cavities and then the youngest came along and the doctor rubbed his hands together told us our family was starving him to death but he would make up for it with her. Boy did he. I love those long skinny bird legs.

  17. HI Billie Jo, I've been on a long blog break, so it's been quite awhile since I've been by your place. I had been wondering if your daughter was still living in Denmark. I see she is, but only for a time.

    Wow, 21 years, 4 kids, and no cavities! You have taught them some fantastic dental health habits! That's great.

    Such a beautiful family you have.

    Blessings,
