The end of the year is always so crazy. I would love to do a post of Christmas, one for Madison's birthday and one for New Years, but it is just too much fun in one week to take the time to post each individually. Plus Santa brought me a new computer so I am having a few picture issues that will be solved soon.

Here we are on January 7th, 2010! 2010? How in the world does time fly?

I went back and read blog posts from the end of 2008. Crazy how much our life has changed since then. I especially liked the posting on our Florida house going on the market. Here is a snip posted 12/19/2008....

"We signed papers today for the realtor to put our house on MLS starting today. We have lived here for 11 years! So much to think about and digest. We don't know where we will end up, but we know it is time for us to sell. Our journey to the unknown continues. It's funny when you tell people you are selling your house and they ask the question "where you moving?" and we say, "we don't know!". Mark says he feel like Abraham (not spiritually he added). God told Abraham to move, but didn't tell him where to go. We feel like it is time for us to move. Where we move is oblivious to us at this time."

I have to laugh because at the time we had no idea we would be sitting in a different house in a different state. I went back to see how different it was for us last Christmas. I think I spent $75 total on all three kids. We made up for it this year! So many cool toys.

Mark's dream for years has been to have a movie theater room. He made the entertainment center in Florida for a screen to come down from the top and the back wall was projector ready. Then we moved. Not sure how it came about but a couple weeks before Christmas he decided to either buy a new plasma or the theater screen. We have been watching a 17 inch TV since April ~ GASP! Anyway, He ended up buying a 106 inch screen and projector. Not sure we will ever go to a theater again. Now I know how to decorate the family (theater) room. He set it up Christmas Eve with my dad after the kids went to bed. The funniest thing was Alexandra walked into the family room Christmas morning and said, "How did Santa get that down the chimney?" So darn cute!


My dad showing off the big screen. Do you see the TV to the right? It looks so tiny. I have to add I hate the paneling, but one room at a time.

Moving on to Madison's 7th Birthday. My girl is 7! She wanted to go bowling? Yes, bowling. We went a few weeks before her birthday with some people from Mark's work and the kids loved it. We really had a great time. I bowled over 100! That is amazing. Okay the first picture is Madison and it is pretty funny, but not as funny as seeing her in action.

I have more to post but will continue another day. Today is a half day for snow and I got to feed the little ones and get to school to get my 7 year old. 7?!

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our

Mohawk!

    Um, where to start?   I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook.  Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk.  GO RAYS!  I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do.   I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing.  I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend.  It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk.  The girls still have their lovely locks.

Time

Yes, my topic again is about time.  This one is not about the waste of time, but the passing of time.  As in how long it has been over a period of many days, years, etc.   Saturday night I went scrapbooking at a friends house.  Something we have done for about two years!  WHAT?  Two years, at least once a month.  Where did that time go?  I feel like it was just yesterday that Meagen and I where going to Anita's.  At the time if you would have told me my scrap buddy was moving in the matter of months to Fuquay-Varina I would have said two things,  "Where in the world it that?" and then I would have said "yeah, right!". She probably would have said the same things at the time.  I now see it all as a God wink.  Most of you have been to a Women of Faith conference and have heard the term God wink.  I appreciate all the God winks in my life.  See, at the time I didn't know Anita except from an occasional candle party or birthday party.  We were aquanitices at the
