VERY Noteworthy....

Somewhere between the January Blahs and

the February that moved at the speed of light

I have failed miserably in documenting

some VERY important events in

the life of Dr. Poomela.

Sooooo...let me make amends.....

This little man turned one month old

and is doing absolutely beautifully.

There is never enough holding time

for me in Ezzie's life. NEVER!!

On March 11th ,this adorable daughter turned 25.....

25 MIND YOU!!! And she wears it

very, very well.

We celebrated with a little sushi at the Mikado

for lunch where we may or may not have been

out numbered by the pre-schoolers.

We followed it up with the first BBQ of the year

where we all celebrated what a delight it

is to have sweet Brookie in our lives.

She is the easiest person in the world to love

and she must have been the inspiration for the

hymn "Scatter Sunshine" because that is exactly

what she does. We viewed old home videos of Brooke

and it was fun to observe the wonderful chaos of our young

family being repeated before us as we watched the screen.

Adore this girl!!

On March 2nd, this handsome boy turned 35....

YIKES....35 MIND YOU!!! I still

think of him as my little boy and he is

very, very much a MAN.

We gathered at his choice of Cafe Med where

we enjoyed Mediterranean food and

atmosphere and celebrated the sweet

sincerity of dear Brad.

Vanessa made this gorgeous cake and

we all had a great time together.

I'm trying to train myself to NOT

bug Brad about what he should and should not do.

Seriously....I think he should be on his own at 35!

Brad has always been a great example and the one

that his sisters look up to for guidance.

The Lord knew what he was doing when he sent

Brad to usher in all his sisters.

He is always so willing to help us out.

We ALL love him and his unique way of seeing

the world.

Also of note has been the arrival of

Jude's new obsession with everything pirate.

Check out his version of a "peg leg",

hook, sword and eye patch.

He's even convinced the girls to join in.

We can only imagine what will be next....

L-O-V-E this little group!

So as you can see, there have been

some very noteworthy happenings

and I promise to do better at documenting them.

For my sake....

XO

P.S. Events of the past couple of days have reminded me that

we should NEVER fail to state, note and appreciate

all that we love and hold dear.
