Number Four

"I for one am grateful," a voice piped up from the back seat of the car.  We were having one of the conversations about having more than 2 children and in this case talking about a friend who was pregnant with number four.  At that time people were all too free with their comments.  She had had it with the rounds of folks who found it all too easy to reprimand her for going over the acceptable limit of the number of children.  Our discussion ended with Zachary's comment because of course he was right!  Zachary as number four is grateful for being that number.  I love all four of my children.  They are all wonderful, independent and intelligent.  So, at the end of this week when Zack and the rest of the Pearland High School Academic Decathlon Team compete for the state title I will be thinking of number 4 and how lucky we are to have him!

Blue Sky

Every year Leon Hale would write about finding spring. I still miss reading Leon's columns. They always brought a smile to my face and often made me laugh out loud!  
Our first day over 75 degrees was yesterday. I am hoping that spring is in the air. I haven't seen my first robin and I don't think the mesquite trees are budding out. But I think I should drive about and see if I can find spring.
