Boy Wonder

As in, I wonder how the boy is still alive at two and a half. Look at this mug shot. Above the right eye was Saturday nights accident.  Nathan was "dancing" and fell into the entertainment center. He gives a whole new definition to break dancing.   What the picture doesn't show is the bruise on top of his head and his red, black and green eye. Sunday afternoon injury is the upper lip and cheek.  He fell in the garage "helping" daddy. Today, above left eye (right of picture). He was walking as he was looking behind him and when he turned around hit the door frame.  Mark says he looks like a poster child for abuse :(  It hurts me to even look at him.  It looks like he is growing horns on his forehead.  (click on picture if you dare) 

Saturday night his forehead bruised before I even picked him up off the floor.  It bruised before it swelled up.  Madison said, "Well there goes family pictures!"  Who does that sound like?  ME!  Mark and I just laughed.  Why the laughter, we aren't planning on doing family pictures any time soon.  Funny girl.  I went out Saturday night to a girlfriends house after the accident to finish Christmas cards and chit chat.  I had to call Mark and ask him to wake him up just to make sure he didn't have a serious head injury.  Dramatic I know.  I did finish my cards by the way.  

Mark took him to the grocery store tonight.  I don't even want to take him out in public.  He looks awful. Everyone keeps telling me things like, well he is a boy or yep that is a boy for you. I am starting to wonder if his rash of bad falls and bumps is an equilibrium issue?  It has to be worse than being a boy!  Are boys really this accident prone?  Oye Ve!

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......

Dogwood

On our 13 hour car ride to our new dwelling place I had to drop Mark and Delta off at the Chattanooga airport to get his truck. He flew from Chattanooga to St. Pete to come home to drive with us to our new digs.  Chattanooga is the closest airport other than Birmingham (1.5 hours away) that flies directly to Tampa/Saint Petersburg.  The Chattanooga airport is two hours from our new house.  This meant that I got to drive by myself with the kids for the last two hours of the very long trip.  Of course all the kids fell asleep, which is not good when you are leaving your hometown of almost 30 years. First time on the trip it was quiet.  Most days that would be a blessing, but this Sunday was not the case.  I needed noise to keep my mind from thinking about all that was happening.     So what does any girl do in a time like this?  I called my mom. One of the few times I am thankful for the invention of the cell phone.  The drive from Chattanooga to our house is so pretty and there are so m...
