What a beautiful day it is today. The sun is shining and the weather is quite warm. Rozalyn just loves playing outside. I took her over to see John a work today and we let her play on the grass and see the swans and ducks. She just loved going up the hill and coming back down, she thought that was great fun. This is an old picture but I thought is was cute.

Remembering

This Saturday will be five years since my dad passed away. He died of colon cancer. I miss him everyday. Watching my dad die was one of the hardest things. I don't wish it upon anyone. The hardest thing I think, was having to watch him day by day slowly slip away. I was with him for the last month of his life and it was very hard for me to see him go from being fine to not being able to walk, talk, or to even reconize me in the end. It's like a movie reel in my head that keeps playing over and over again. I don't know if that 's a good or bad thing. If I were truly to believe one thing in my life that makes since I would have to say that my dad's dieing is one of the reasons why my daughter is here today. I truly believe that she is one of the reasons my dad had to leave this earthly life to go and find my daughter and because of that dealing with my dad's death is a little easier everytime I see her face and hear her laugh. Some of the things I miss about my dad are his hugs. I miss the talks we had and the comforting voice he had that just made everything all better. I do feel sad for my mom though she is living alone now and misses her companion too, but we'll all see each other again right?

Running

So I have started running. Why you ask? I have no idea. I decided I needed to exercise more so I decided running. I actually like to run but never started sooner because I am lazy. This is my third week of running every other day and I can run up to a mile and half. needless to say it is at a very slow pace but who's watching that's right no one my tread mill is in the garage. I think now that I have said this out loud it won't last very much longer. Why is it that when something good is happening and then you tell somebody you jinx yourself. Well anyway koodos to me for at least being a good person for three weeks, right?

My Family of Swirls

So this my family. Some poeple have asked me why I chose the the blog name family of swirls, so I'm going to tell you. When John and I got married we always said we would have swirled children . We would enter lock our hands and say this is what they will look like. Then Rozalyn came along and she is the first of our swirled children. Is she not the most beautiful baby. It was fun taking this picture because we took it in our back yard just before John picked up all the leaves. We took at least ten pictures because John is running back and forth setting the camera. So some we have johns head cut off and some of Rozalyn trying to get away and me I just look good in all of them. J/k

so my first Picture to the blog

so this is my first picture to my blog. This is my dog Pepper. She's a bad dog. Can't you see it in her eyes.

We got her when she was 6 weeks old and of course I fell for the cuteness, that's why we got her. I do blame myself for not teaching her better the difference between chewing things and not chewing things. She barks at all people which is good I guess because she lets us know if someone might be intruding. Anyway enjoy my first picture. Eventually they will get better.

New Day

Ok so today is new day and I still haven't figured this whole blog thing out so just be patiented for some good stuff.

What took so long

Ok, so I finally created a blog. Now what do I say? I'm not a very creative thinker so I can't come up with things to say at random. I guess I would say, I hope this doesn't sound stupid. Thinking, thinking, thinking...oh did I mention I created a blog. oh ya I did uh. Hopefully has time passes I will have more to say but until then I'm just figuring out how this all works and how I post pictures. How exciting!!
