FUN DAY

Here is one of the best feelings a parent can have. When your children succeed, in anything big or small. You get to share in the success with a feeling of heart bursting pride. I have been blessed to share in many of these moments with my children, but yesterday I had a double dip of pride as I watched(during my many breaks) Dawn and Amy apply new life to the walls of the condo Amy purchased on Friday morning. This has been years in the making with Dawn showing Amy houses in Delavan, Elkhorn and the surrounding area. Then Amy moves with a new job and begins again with a new realtor. She has finally found a warm homy feeling condo to call her own. I think the warmth of Grandma and Grandpas combined with the coziness of a warm fire on a snowy evening took her to the point of decision. They both had much to be proud of and I soaked it all in as I listened to conversation and heard the confidence they had in each other and the pride Dawn had of Amy making this decision and finally seeing the fruits of both of their labor pay off. I will not be painting today I have to rest up for Sunday and Monday as I get my grand baby while Brenda works Monday morning(more heart bursting pride). Today Greg and Ed along with Amy and Dawn will be painting. I'm sure it will be a day of work and laughs.
