Goodbye 2008!

This year has been one with ups and downs. Thankfully, there have been far more up than downs looking back on it all. As the years draws to a close, I have to say that I am so thankful for all that I have and have experienced this year. In the year to come, I expect there to be more challenges to face, adventures to have and memories to make.

Happy New Year everyone!

A New Look

Well, by accident anyway.

A dear friend of mine who has a blog, recently made hers look super cute using some type of site that requires one to have more technological smarts than I posses. I got halfway through the directions that required me to put my blog in this "generic" layout and that is where they lost me. So, all my dedicated readers (all 2 of you), have to suffer until I take a CCAC course in blog layout. The spring schedule is due out any day now...

Funnies from the kids...

From Evan, getting out of the car at my parent's house:
"Mom, do you smell that?"
Me: "No. What is it?"
Him: "I smell springtime!"


Aubrey and her cousin were looking at my photo album and were ripping pages as they turned them. I told them a few times that they needed to be more careful. After a few more rips, I told them they were done and took the book away. Aubrey, in the most cheerful voice says, "Oh well, Hailey, let's go drink!" (I have had this thought many times myself since becoming a mom!) May this be the last time we hear her utter those words until after her 21st birthday.

Christmas Gift

We got a Christmas gift from God today. Sun and 70 degrees in December. Some might say, 'Christmas is over. The gift is late.' It is not. God gave it to us on a day we could use it and best appreciate it. I am loving it and have the windows open and breathing in the wonderfulness of the warm breeze. Enjoy your day too.
