Look at those eyes!Even if you're not doing the Weight Watcher's plan I think anyone wanting to cook & eat healthy will appreciate what they'll find.
Visit Gina & tell me what you think . . .
By the way, if you read my Saturday post you might be interested to know we received 8" of snow. Sunday was a beautiful day & most of the snow melted. I think my tulips are going to be okay!
Our sweet grandson, Ethan . . .
When Jesus was here on Earth, He often took time for children. He held them, blessed them, and told His disciples that their tender innocence and simple faith were the essence of the Kingdom of God.
If you have children, you no doubt know that God has entrusted you with a most precious treasure. He expects you to give them your very best and raise them with an understanding of His goodness and grace.
Just as an archer aims and then shoots an arrow toward his target, God has given you the ability to direct and send forth your children. And He has also given you His word that He will be there to help you, every step of the way.

I watched a little of season one, but really 
I like the addition of the new judge, Kara.I can't decide who my favorite is,there are a lot of great voices. Lil & Danny sing with great passion. Adam is very talented, but a little weird for my taste. I'm predicting that Megan will go home this week.
I have been a Weight Watchers member off & on several times. It is really the only diet that has worked for me. Back in August I decided to join again, but this time I decided to try WW on line. I really like it! I was able to lose 15 pounds in about 6 weeks. I've put on a few pounds in the past few months, so I'm back at it. I feel so energized & healthy when I eat right. I'm an emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy, sad, or stressed. LOL!!! I just realized the other day my 40th high school reunion is next year. My goal is to be at my goal weight by then, which means I need to shed 30 pounds! 
Veggies are my #1 defense against snacking on the wrong choices.
I sang this 'Irish Blessing' at the end of a friend's wedding many years ago.
Hope your St. Patrick's Day is full of spring sunshine & warm weather!
I want to thank those of you who gave wonderful advice & encouragement to my daughter~in~law, Kari, on her blog http://wheremytreasure.blogspot.com/ yesterday! Please continue to pray for Kari, Bobby, & little Ethan. Thank you for being a blessing to us!If one has the gift of encouraging others, he should encourage.

When you think about counting your blessings, your mind most likely turns to those you can see~ a warm place to live, food in the fridge, friends and family to hold you close. But, the blessings God showers on you every day go far beyond what you can touch with your hands.God's blessings include miracles like the process of prayer, a future home in Heaven, and God's ultimate gift of salvation. Although blessings like these are really more than the human mind can understand, they are also easily taken for granted. Take time right now to send God a heartfelt thank you note, via prayer. Ask Him to help your gratitude grow by making you increasingly aware of every blessing He brings your way.
The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.

Here's Bobby feeding Ethan on Friday. He's eating very well. Mostly he's being fed from the bottle. However, Kari is doing a great job pumping as well as breast feeding.
I was so excited to get to hold him for a few minutes on Saturday night. He slept the whole time we were visiting. 
There was quite an audience at the window. Carol, Kari's Mom, her sister, Kim, Bobby, & my sister, Mary.
