Blue Monday

Good morning everyone! Talk about a bloggy break! I'd tell you all about it but instead I'm linking up with Smiling Sally and splashing some of the most incredible blue your way. I'm especially proud of this blue. I hope you love it as much as I do!


This is my beautiful mother and I celebrating her 67th birthday yesterday. She is so lovely.

This is my son and my nephew, Jason, who looks just like Joshua at that age. This picture really stirs emotions in me. We were taking my son's senior pictures and we went to Memorial Island and as we were snapping pics by the penta-structure the little one was talking to my son whom he adores. This just reminds me of the bit of time that passes as they are little feet and then they become young men.

My son is one of the most patriotic young men I know. He has a love for this country that can sometimes make my heart feel like it's going to just explode with pride. This statue is a dedication to the POW's and the MIA's. Joshua will be enlisting after he graduates and I think you can see the look on his face. The men and women who have fought for the freedom in this country that we have will never be forgotten in this young man's heart. He will continue their legacy....and with pride.

It stands for our freedom....and you can't take that away....not on this young man's post!

Joshua and his younger cousin, Brendan.

We will be making a booklet of his senior pictures for our family this year. It's going to encompass many more pictures just like these. We were really happy with how they turned out.

Thank you for sticking with me as I overflow with maternal pride. I pray the Lord blesses you today.
