Cute Pic

Computers eat up my time!

So, I woke up at 5am and what have I been doing all morning while the munchin sleeps? I've been reading people's blogs. I have now enjoyed almost 2 hours of sitting in front of a computer. It's a good thing my children are normally early birds, because I feel so darn lazy! I could easily waste my time sitting at the computer longer... however, I need to go get ready for work. My goodness!

Like Father, Like Son

I don't know if you can tell, but these two boys look a heck of a lot alike. Above is Dylan. You can't really see his curly, curly hair, but it is there. The bottom picture is of Matthew. Levi saw the picture of Matt and said, 'That's Dylan". Practically. We see it... do you?

Happy Birthday Jeanette~!!

Today my dear friend Jeanette turns 30. Happy Birthday Jeanette!! I have been friends with Jeanette since we were 7 years old. Wow!~
She is amazing. I am so impressed by her strength and abilities. Her husband is currently in Iraq. I don't know how she does it... life, kids, being a mom, and having her husband so far away. (Thank you to Chris, too, for serving our country). Plus, she's beautiful!

I was looking through my scrapbooks to find some pictures of Jeanette in our "younger" years. However, at the start of my scrapbooking obsession, I cut up pictures pretty good and into funky shapes, so there were no regular pictures, and they weren't very zoomed in for you to see her very well. So, above are pictures from 2 1/2 years ago.

I just think she's fabulous and I am very thankful that she is my friend. Happy Birthday!

It's all in the memories

I went to a craft fair last week and I bought two things. The washcloth bunny below holds an ice cube and is intended to be cute and non threatening when a child is bleeding. I bought it because my Grandma used to make these for us. That's the whole reason I bought it. (Plus, I'm sure my boys will need it at some point). I also bought tupperware. I fondly remember brown, orange and yellow tupperware the same style as these. I loved those bowls!! I saw these, LOVED the colors and had to buy them. All for the sake of memories. (Plus, they'll be useful).

I read your blogs

Hey people out there. If I know you and you have a blog, I read your blogs. The only catch is that the only time I can usually read them is on my lunch break at work. AND.... they blocked commenting and logging on to blogs. This means that I can't post anything at work and I can't leave comments. So, if you haven't had a comment from me, it's not because I don't care about what you say, it's because I can't.

I do have times in the evening (like right now) that I can be on the computer for like 10 minutes, but that's not time to comment on everything... I have children to play with, a husband to visit and books to read. So, please feel loved, even if you don't hear from me. It's the blasted "Baracuda Filter"'s fault. Not mine.

Have a lovely day!

P.S. If you thought you missed my big announcement about being pregnant, the post with my picture (3 posts down) WAS the announcement. So, don't feel left out. I usually don't say anything for a long time because it sucks losing babies. So far, so good!
