The Fighter's

442. Bubbles with Grammy.  The girls absolutely LOVE visiting with Grammy. 443. Simple fun. 444.  Mini frozen snickers bars.  They remind me of my Grandpa who always had them waiting for us in his freezer when we went to visit. And now my mother in law keeps them in her freezer, and I eat about half the bag when we visit!:-)

439. Sisterly love - in any way, shape or form.  Even if it's in sitting on each other. 440.  Snapshots of our world from the perspective of my girls. Ava took the next few pictures...:-)  441.  Music.  And the release, feeling and joy it can bring to our day.  (next 2 photos also by Ava:-))

436.  Quiet mornings. 437. Whir of crickets and frogs mixed with thunder crashes - wafting in with soft morning air through windows. And coffee. 438. Katelyn Jane

428. Green and white sprinkle donuts to ring in St. Patrick's day...   429. Wrestling. 430. Yard work, sun, girls playing outside, chore accomplishing. 431. Huge, fluffy marshmallow clouds. 432. A couple of green margaritas with Doug to ring in St. Patty's day:-) 433. Running on playgrounds with my girls and trying to do flips like I was still 7 years old - not as graceful as I used to be! 434. Ceiling fans. 435. Going to bed at 10.

418. Fridays! 419. Sleeping in until 7:45 - oops! 420. Not rushing. 421. Breakfast with the fam. 422. Park play dates. 423. Lunch dates with two of my favorite girls! 424. Sun, sun, sun. 425. Open sunroofs. 426. Thankful for beautiful friendships growing here in town. 427. Wine nights at home with Doug - opened a bottle of wine from last year's Napa trip!

415. Gymnastics with Lou and Kate - Olivia has been participating so much more and it's so fun to watch.  She loves to be right in the mix and loves her Coach Casey! 416. Four walls that keep us safe from storms and hail. 417. Doug arriving home safely after a week away at work.

394. Days off to enjoy with my girls. 395. Books. 396. Ava and Olivia scarfing down eggs.  Those girls can eat breakfast! 397. Beautiful sunny days. 398. Lunch with my dad and his new 56 ring doorbell.  He got it just for the grandkids - and they didn't stop ringing it:-) 399. Watching my girls play in the yard that I grew up in. 400. Full grocery baskets.  Sometimes I take things like this for granted. 401. Olivia and Kate beaming as they ride the penny horse. Kate named it cupcake. 402. Productive, peaceful afternoons - they don't always go this way. 403. Screens and open windows. 404. Breezes. 405. Making cookies with Kate. 406. Ava coming home from school and drooling over the cookies:-) 407. Two imaginative girls out back gardening after school. 408. Grandpas who fix flat bike tires. 409. Chalk and driveway canvases. 410. Bike rides. 411. Surprise visits from Rob & Carly, Jet and Mattingly. 412. Basement bounce houses. 413. Tucking my girls in. 414.

388. Smooth flowing work days. 389. Crock pots that cook while I work. 390. Slow nights. 391. Bathed girls. 392. Rain on rooftops. 393. Four walls and a roof to keep us dry from storms.

375. Anticipation of weekends. 376. Robin's singing spring songs outside. 377. Five Fighter's packed into the mini van for a road trip. 378. Grandparents caravaning. 379. Excitement of 3 little girls as we arrive at the hotel.  We stayed at a modest hotel - but they felt like royalty and it was adorable...doesn't take much.  Automatic doors, a fire place, elevator and carpets with swirls on them, a room on the 7th floor (overlooking the parking lot) - and they think they are top notch! 380. My little munchkins marching in a row down the hallway. 381. Beauty so close to home - the Niagara River. 382. Driving down roads that provide flashbacks...reminiscing.  Lots of childhood trips too and through NY and Buffalo! 383.  The look on my Uncle Lee's face as we surprised him on his doorstep for his 70th birthday!  Our family and my Uncle Bill's family (mom's twin brother) all made the trek up to their house in NY to surprise him:-)  Here is the trio - Uncle Bi
