I AM in my forties...

I had heard that your eyesight changes in your forties... I have never needed glasses before but I began noticing that the words in my Bible seemed "fuzzy" in the mornings. I began noticing it a couple of months ago.

It took me a while to realize that maybe I needed some reading glasses.

The other moment of truth set in when I was looking through photo albums for one of the kid's school projects. I found some of our wedding pictures and realized that I am older now than my parents were when I got married. And I thought they were old when I got married! Ha!

I am not complaining though. While I don't really like seeing those wrinkles around my eyes(!!!), I would NEVER choose to to back to younger years. I do appreciate the perspective that extra years bring...

Like my one friend's daughter told her after seeing younger pictures of her (and styles she found embarrassing), "You're not getting older, Mom, you're getting better!"

Yes!

Josh catches a baby rabbit!

Over the years Josh has caught quite a few wild animals in our back yard.  He has captured a baby bird, a baby squirrel, a huge toad and now he can add a baby bunny to this list.

Today, while he was mowing the lawn, he saw this little baby bunny you see pictured above.  He brought it in the house to show me!!!  (as if we haven't had enough wildlife in the house!  If the last phrase confuses you, you can read my earlier posts about our squirrel adventures.)

No, we are not keeping him.  Even though Jonathan was pleading with me and giving me the all-too-familiar lines like, "I will feed him and take care of him..." 

Josh let him loose to hop back to his bunny family.
