Visit with friends

Bubba, E, and our friend Ab.

We had some unexpected visitors today. My old friend Lynn and her daughter stopped by on the way to see her folks. She brought lunch from McDonalds which made the girls excited and we had a great time catching up. It's always a great day when time is spent with dear friends! I am gretting anxious for the weather to warm up. We're really ready to get outside and play! We took E to kindergarten roundup Tuesday night. It is hard to believe we are at that stage in our lives already. It seems like the last 6 months E has really grown. Makes me a little sad, but I am glad for each new and wonderful season of life. Bring on the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E's birthday

A beautiful wall hanging made special for Elizabeth. And an antique Valentine's Day card from Grandma Beth.

E opening a present from her Grandma in Louisiana.

Five years ago today I gave birth to our firstborn daughter. What joy she has brought to our lives. She is full of spit and vinegar and sweet as pie all rolled into one. She makes my heart leap and brightens my darkest days. We are so blessed to have her and our 2 other precious little girls. I need to go and figure out what to make her for her birthday supper. Until next time.

Valentine's Day

Bubba happy with her Valentine breakfast.



We are once again fighting colds and muck. As I type this the baby is waking from her nap after only 40 minutes. I assume she is having problems breathing through all her muck in her nose. Poor baby. Anyway, we managed to have a somewhat nice Valentine's day considering. I made pink heart shaped pancakes for the girls and E opened a present from her Grandma Beth in Louisiana. One of many....... ;)
She LOVES her pretty silver heart necklace from Grandma B. Jewelry is a big hit right now. I need to go rock a baby. Hope this finds everyone warm and well. We are hoping NOT to get any MORE snow until next Winter! God bless!!!!!

Valentines Day

I am looking forward to the next few days. Valentines Day (I am a HUGE romantic at heart) and E's 5th Birthday. Not to mention a visit from my beautiful Mother. I feel so blessed to have such a precious family. The weather is actually warming up a bit here and much of the ice/snow is melting. But, we have so much snow, we will still have plenty left. My in-laws even got snow in Tx. and La. CRAZY!!!! E is at her school valentine party, Baby A is napping and Bubba is resting. We are fighting colds and coughs in this house yet again. Seems to be the norm every few months. Not much new here, looking forward to having my hubby home over the weekend and just having some great family time together. I love what my Mother-in-law told me. Focus on making good memories. That has really hit me. I want my children to have GREAT memories and remember me being a fun Mom, not stressed about so much. Life is too short. Thanks Mom B.!!!!! I need to go make a menu/grocery list. THAT is something I dread!!!!!!!! Happy Valentines Day to you all. Don't forget to love your honey!!!!!!!!!!!!
