A new look...

Well, I've been doing some work on the blog as you can see... Whatdya think? Hope everyone's doing well, we're getting ready for a long wet rainy weekend so we'll be inside a bunch probably. Time to catch up on some movies...

I can't believe that it's already the end of February, it seems like I can't seem to slow things down the older I get. Taylor's spring break is fast approaching and we hope she comes to spend the week with us...it's ALWAYS a good time when she comes to visit...

A long overdue post...

Happy belated Valentines Day! (thanks for the new dress Granny!)


I was talked into facebook and it's now become a new addiction! So, I apologize for neglecting the blog. I will now catch you up. I took last Friday off to help Izabella's teacher out with their Valentine's Day party, pictures below. The kids had a great time and got lots and lots of Valentine's...

Izabella has been out of school all week for "winter break" so I also took today off to spend with her. Her 2 front teeth are coming in slowly and we've got 2 more wiggling now, not great for pictures but she does LOVE the tooth fairy!

Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for donating to the Jump rope for Heart in support of Izabella, the final total reached was $300, which earned her an Ambassador award. She had so much fun today jumping rope. I went to school today to help the teacher out with the Valentine's Day party and I got to hear all about it from all of her friends.

Thank you all for supporting her. Love to all and Happy Valentine's Day early!

We are off to a birthday party! Have a great weekend!

I knew I loved you before I met you....

I heard this song today, out of the blue, and it just reminded me of Steve and how lucky I am to have him. Honey, if you are reading this, I miss you, I love you and I can't wait for you to come home.

I added the song to my playlist below if you want to listen, but also wanted to share the lyrics with you.

I Knew I Loved You (Savage Garden)

Maybe it's intuition

But some things you just don't question

Like in your eyes

I see my future in an instant

And there it goes

I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason

Only this sense of completion

And in your eyesI see the missing pieces

I'm searching for

I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you

I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

School Christmas party

The class started out the party with a book exchange!

This is Ms. Williams. Izabella gave her a foot massager for Christmas, it looked like a pair of froggy slippers!

Then it was time to make "gingerbread" houses. So cool the way they did it. A little milk carton, graham crackers, cake frosting and decorations. They turned out pretty good, I think.

And, then it was time for some good ol' silliness!
