Little Miss Sunshine

Mark found this shirt at the Big Dog store and bought it for Alex right before school started. The little sun logo speaks volumes. This also happens to be her favorite shirt. Alex and I had a nice day today. She is getting over the toddler attitude in life and is starting to shine.  

Today she wanted me to do her hair in pig tail braids which is unusual for her.  We did a little photo session.  She is a ham. Every time I take out the camera she starts to be cheesy.  She doesn't really ask me to take her picture but always starts to smile and pose.   Just in case I start to click her direction.    





Lately she has come home from church with her coloring sheet blank but a picture drawn on the back.  After a couple of weeks I had to ask the teacher if it was okay and to see if she was doing what she was asked to do.  The teacher said she doesn't care as long as she colors.  I wanted to make sure she wasn't giving anyone a hard time about it.  She is a nonconformist, a true artist.  The one week she did color the picture I was shocked.   I flipped the paper over to find words all over the back. No blank canvas for her that week.  Her favorite thing to draw is a cat on the beach (I have a couple). Almost every week when I pick her up from sunday school someone has a comment about how she is a budding artist or comments on how good she colors for her age.   I find these comments so sweet because that is what she loves to do.

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 ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
