like trees

I was awake late last night listening to the comforting sound of Sonny breathing next to me and starring at the shadow of a tree on my bedroom wall made from the light of my neighbors porch. Listening and thinking how much trees are like friendships.

Trees like frienships are not measured in height, or stature, but in the growth of their roots. With a great friendship their steps with their feet to your front door when you need them are the roots and their arms extended with a hug, the branches. A tree could have a million leaves, but it only takes some sturdy branches and a few roots down at the botom to make sure that tree has everything it needs. When you get a few roots in your life, hold on to them them tight. For you are blessed.

It is true that some friendships are like leaves and are meant only for one season, it's knowing how not to mix up the seasonal leaves with the lifetime roots.

These Boys

BECAUSE OF THESE BOYS:








I am completely familiar with the local grocery store layout,

I spend an inordinate amount of time looking for things.

I need to polish up on my bug hunting abilities,

The washing machine will never last as long as it should,

My powder bathroom will never be as clean as I like it,

my toe nails still need to be polished,

screaming and laughing pulsates through my house,

I know the evolved form of pickachu, bakugan and all things lego.


I AM A LUCKY MOM!!!!!

The family Pickture

I always see cute prof. family pics with happy kids and smiling babies and great hair days, with fantastic locations. They have tons of great options to pick from. I have so many ideas in mind for mine this year. But I have discovered that instead of the photo I WANT I have the family I HAVE. With toothey grins, red haired naughties, busy babies, boring locations, wild boys, impatient mom and lots of love.

So here is the fam pic we got, with lots of laughs, candy bribery and one baby that can't sit still. Here is what we had to PIC(K) from.

Warmest Wishes for the Holidays!!

santa baby

Some of us snuggled right up to Santa, some of us were forced onto santa's lap and yet still others informed us that santa and SATAN have the same letters just arranged differently and therefore we would only stand next to him.
