3 Cousins

(01-19-09)

It was a lot of fun to spend a weekend with my cousin, who I don't get to see very often. This photo was taken right before we left Texas to make the drive back home.

3 Sisters

(01-18-09)

Even though I had another photo that was clearer and more "portriat-like", this was my favorite. I love it because it really shows the relationship these 3 ladies (& sisters) have with each other. The women in my family share lots of laughs together! Aren't they cute?

On Our Way!

(01-17-09)

Me, my mom, sister, aunt and cousin have been trying to plan a trip together to visit my mom and aunt's older sister, in Texas. It gets rather challenging to work around 5 different family schedules, but we finally made it happen. We surprised her last weekend and had a great time. Here's documentation of our favorite road trip pit-stop, Sonic.

Happy Mail!

(01-16-09)

Those who know me well, know I'm a magazine junkie. Thanks, Mom! It's your fault. I just can't resist the fun colors and shapes, stories, recipes, art projects, gardening tips, home organization ideas and on and on.....Not that I do anything with any of the ideas, most of the time I just enjoy looking. It just makes me happy!

Snow Flurries

(01-15-09)

This is what I saw this morning when I peeked through the window blinds. The weather man called for a 20% chance of snow today--I guess that's just about what we got, 20% of our yard was dusted with fluffy white stuff. It's strange how relaxing this scene can be if it happens on the weekend when I don't have to get out and about. But, on a school/work day--my emotions are completely different. I immediately wonder if it is safe enough for Kelsey to drive to school, or should I take her? It might be fine now, but what if it snows all day? Is there ice on the vehicles? How long will it take to get the car cleared off and warmed up? Oh no! Should I have gotten up earlier? Thankfully, dear hubby called me on his way out to let me know the roads were safe for travel. Great news! And just for the record, it only snowed for a few hours.

Can you say CHOCOLATE ?

(01-14-09)

While shopping for a few dinner items, something shiny caught my eye. The candy aisle had been transformed into Valentine-Land. Oh my, I just couldn't resist those red, pink, and white mixed M&M's! Red is my color, and chocolate is what I'm all about. Wonder how long they'll make it at my house?

So much fun....

Morgan is really starting to be awake more and more during the day. I love watching him look around. He turns his head toward voices and is beginning to share little smiles. He likes to relax in his swing and is already watching his red ladybug on his play mat. It reminds me of all of the time we spent on the floor watching Grayson with the same toy. Deda and I had so much fun playing with him and big brother, Grayson. We stayed very busy playing trains, blocks, reading books, watching "Finding Nemo", coloring, pushing the grocery cart, walking down the sidewalk, having snacks, "climbing trees", on and on.......I certainly got in my exercise! Oh, he even helped me make pancakes one morning. I asked him what he wanted for breakfast-he usually wants chocolate milk and yogurt-he said "pancakes, Grayson help." So, off to the kitchen we go, we set up the step-stool and began to stir away. I asked him how many eggs we needed and he said 2! I was figuring out he must have done this before. He is so, so sweet!!!
