back to the blog...

I have been a little bit overwhelmed with dust from all of our home remodeling, fiesty kids, and a wee bit of healing in the past weeks...So the blog fell to the bottom of the list for awhile. I had to back at it after checking out Amber's blog post about our recent girl's day with the Lindsey, Emmy & their bitty twins - Cody & Lindsey and Mathew & Molly. Check out her blog for even cuter pictures of the girls on their special day out with their mommies & their babies. ("the Doumas" in the blogs I visit on the sidebar)




I might play catch up or just try not ot fall so far behind again - We'll see....

eye opeing!

Sometimes it is too easy for me to get caught up in how much laundry needs to be done, grocery lists, messes to pick up, cookies t make for preschool, etc. to realize how lucky am I to have such special friends! Over the past few days, I have seen how blessed I am to have such great girls in my life.

I feel so lucky to know that I always have a mom and a mother-in-law that will pitch in despite how many funny stories I tell of their crazy ways and a sister who some how grew up to become one of my very best friends! New friends from the neighborhood that have stepped up from friends to laugh and drink at Bunco with that have made that step into my inner circle of supportive girls to call on at any time. Junior League girls that check in on me even when I am feeling much less than polished! Preschool moms that are now more than just "so and so's fun mom" to talk to in the hallway, etc. And of course Amber who I have been calling with my mini crisis moments since I was 13 years old.

Anyway, no pictures to post. No jokes to make - Just many, many thanks to you all! I love you and am so thankful for your friendship!

Merry Christmas from my talented best friend!

Yesterday the kids & I decorated cookies at my mother-in-law's house. We brought over our friends the Doumas and the Hancocks to join in the frosted, sprinkly fun! I have cute pictures of the kids and their cookies, but what blew me away was how talented my bets friend, Amber is! Look at these gifts that she made for me and the kids - WOW! Soon I will bring her a CD with the pictures on them and she needs to upload them on her site :

Merry Christmas everyone!
