Happy Birthday J!

Happy Birthday Bear!

It is so hard for me to believe that you are 7 today. In the last seven years, you have brought so many smiles, so many laughs and so much love to my life. I thank God daily for the wonderful boy you are becoming. What an awesome and amazing gift your daddy and I have been given. You are such a thoughtful, compassionate, caring and smart young man. You love your brother and your sister so much...they both adore you! J....you are a wonderful friend, a hard worker at school, a dedicated athlete, sweet cousin and loving grandson and nephew. You have changed my life in ways I could never tell you. You make me want to be a better person everyday. I could not be more proud of you and look forward to a year of fun, new adventures with you. I hope that you have a wonderful birthday and enjoy all the fun things we have planned for this weekend! I love you my sweetheart!!!!!

Happy New Year!

It is a little late, but..... Happy New Year!

This time of year always creates a little panic in me. I seem to always have a list of "plans" for the year and many to-do lists, but then January rolls around and it sends me into a tailspin. My resolution is not have any resolutions! Sure - there are plenty of things I want to get done, but most of all I just want to enjoy each day as it comes.

I have been meaning to post this picture. We had breakfast with Santa the Sunday before Christmas, and Mr. Sweet B want so badly to sit on Santa's lap to tell him that he wanted a green lego airplane. B hopped right up there, told Santa what he wanted and then just sat there. He kept peeking at him from the corner of his eye. He did NOT want to get down! Finally we convinced him to get down and B proceeded to have a meltdown because he didn't understand why Santa didn't give him the green lego airplane right then and there.

Oh, to be a 3 year old again!

J had his first basketball game of the season on Saturday.

He loves sports and loves to talk about sports more than anything.

(We think he may have a future career as an ESPN commentator!)

Little Ms. A had her 4 month check up last week.

She is growing like a weed and she is SUCH a happy girl!

Hope everyone is off to a great 2010!

My goal is to organize my laundry room and the kids' playroom this month!

I'll let you know how it goes.
