Eclipse, Get a Sneak Peak

I've read all the books front to back and listened to the audio version of the books from Arizona to Texas twice on my IPOD. Some of my friends, even my family say I'm a nut about the Twilight Saga. I agree. I am. So, while this has nothing to do with our own "BELLA." I'm hoping in the years ahead, Bella will be able to read this blog and get an idea of what her mother enjoyed while being a mommy.

So, whether you are Team Jacob or Team Edward, this new trailer for TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE is blowing everybody's minds.

Not only is it full of the romance of the pending choices Bella has to make, but, of course, there's that underlying tension about the real life romance of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. And, of course, there's Taylor Lautner.

Is this movie going to blow the last one out of the water? The studio certainly seems to be placing these teasers so that fans will be pushing one another into the streets to buy the first tickets when they go on sale.

Four Generations of Women

Our hands in a circle, life symbols…… both perfect and profound.
The women of our family, young and old in love are bound.

We are born into our circle---sweet, delicate dimpled hands.
Loved and held by the generations, the miracle of life we understand.
 

As we move throughout our lives, our hands speak our heart.
Touching, loving, comforting. All God’s work of art.
 

Our hands entwine for games & prayers. They clap with joy and pride.
They tremble with anger and sorrow, soothe broken hearts and babies cries.
 

Our hands shape, guide and teach, nourish, support and share.
At times swift, deft, and purposeful at times imperfect and impaired.
 

We are called home from our circle, a life story engraved on our hands.

Loved and held by the generations, the beauty of life we understand.

Together we share our journeys, the generations both now and then.
The women of our family are a circle of love that never ends.

 

The Easter Egg-periment

Easter was by far my favorite recognized holiday when I was a child.

Traditionally, the festivities would begin at my grandparents home in Hondo,Texas. I would quickly change out of my pajamas and into my grandfather "OPA's" shirt. Then run outside and hunt the eggs the Easter Bunny left for me. 

As an adult at Easter I pay more attention to the birth, life, atonement, death, and ultimately the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This year was Bella's second Easter and so she attended two "Easter Egg Adventures".

The first of two excursions were held at St. John Church in Hondo and then at Marc and Janet's home.

Bella was remarkable!

She seemed so grown up hunting along with the 5 and 6 year old children, a real tear-jerker for mommy and daddy, who still can't believe God provided us our very own  miracle each day. Bella, I love you my darling.
