Anti-snow update

Hello all,

I am updating about our little family. Taryn and Joryn are doing well. Joryn is talking so much more than ever. She was dancing around the front room last night we don’t know where she learned those moves but, wow!!! We were surprised to see her moving her hips and arms like that. Taryn has nurtured Joryn so well that she is blooming ever so fast into a smart capable girl. Every day that goes by I never fail to be floored by things she picks up from us. Taryn supports me with all I do. I appreciate the sacrifice she gives daily to keep this house a home. Our home, where at the end of the day I get to enjoy the comfort and love from my two girls. I, myself am in-between looking for a new job and doing some side work to make up for the slow economy. I have a few opportunities in the mix. I am just waiting for some of them to span out. I came to a profound revelation yesterday.

Life has so many different paths to take. There are the ones which are paved, with flowers and trees along the way. Then there are those paths which are muddy, steep, and follows along the edges of cliffs. The simple path seems like it is the most desired. Along this it is beautiful and you feel like you just can’t go wrong so you take your time. Then suddenly your path gets rough and rocky. Soon you discover it is muddy and steep like the other path began. What happens is you are not ready for this hardship. You struggle, push, and fight to keep the same pace but you begin to slow. Then you stop.

Now while the others are stopped at the rough part of the simple path. The ones that took the difficult path started out moving slow. Yard by yard, mile by mile and after a short time they begin to broaden their pace and move faster. Soon they reach the top where both paths join to a wide ever more beautiful path. Now having the new path and their stronger pace, the time it takes to reach the end goal is less than the others. Then later found there is an abundance of rewards and appreciation for the effort sacrificed early on. I have a deep desire to be successful in life. Yet it seems like I want the reward without the effort put forth in advance. Some people that have abundance without the work are lucky, yet it seems to me that they have ever more demons than most. I will keep fighting and pushing along until I can reach the goals I have set.

We do want to say that we are so grateful for our families (both sides of course). Thank you for being there. We appreciate all the support and love from you all. If we didn’t have such a wonderful family I think our lives would be empty. I meet people every day that don’t have anyone except themselves. Even though they show that they are happy. There is something that is still missing.

In conclusion, we look forward to another wonderful spring, summer, and fall. Mother Nature needs to make up her mind. Thank for the kind comments left.

Love,
The Sawyer’s

Playing at the park

We took Joryn to Layton Park to feed the ducks and let her play on the toys.


This was after she walked through a deep puddle of Duck sh-crap!

The Geese did not like Benny.

Observing the ducks

Cute lookin girl!

Playtime

She just jumped up there and went at it.

And almost tumbled after.

She loves walking Ben-Ben

Wait! Come Back!!!

It was a fun windy day. Joryn had a great time. It will be nice when she can have a yard to play in. *sigh* Someday soon I hope.

Love,
Jeff & Taryn

Snow Day and family update.

Well back in February(When that big snow storm hit.) I thought I would take Joryn outside to play and see her frolic in the deep snow. Here are some photos from the occasion.











Well we are doing good. Joryn is growing and developing into a little terror.(She's my spawn, we all knew it surface sooner than later.) But she is so cute, for instance just tonight when I put her to bed she stood up in her bed and gave me a hug & kiss, then laid back down and rolled over while cuddling her favorite monkey(George) then fell asleep. Taryn's grandmother was in the hospital this weekend but she is back home and is doing well. I have been looking for new job to hold me over until I can get some business oppurtunities inline. But I can't complain, our bills have been paid and even though I, at times feel like we are utterly crapped upon, I think about many other poeple out there who do not have jobs and are living in the street. About 4 months back I was at work and I passed this lady with a sign begging for money and she was holding the sign over her face and she was sobbing. So I had 5 bucks in my pocket so I gave it to her. And as I drove it away somthing told me I needed to give her more so I went to the ATM and pulled out 20 dollars and drove back and gave it to her. She said that she was trying to get an apartment so her daughter would have to be in the shelter but was still short 20 dollars until I gave her the money. I don't know or care if what she said was a lie, I just know that it felt right to be giving her that money. Yesterday I listened to "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams for the hundrednth time. And every session I pick up on something new and hilarious. I would recommend this series. It is engeniusly creative, and utterly hilarious. And the effect of one is like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. lol just check it out. You'll love it or maybe you'll go Zarking mad in the process. Okay enough of that.
Well this has been a long post so I am going to give it a rest and maybe you would like one too, because it seems like my mindless mumbling can have a numbing effect to the norm.

Love ya all,

Jeff

p.s. Mom your subtle hints on the lack of posts is hilarious. I Love you.!
