A whole lot of catching up to do!

Wow, I haven't posted since October 1st...

I feel overwhelmed with how much has happened, but since I didn't make a list I can't seem to think of much blog worthy...EXCEPT...

Daniel asked Kristi to be his wife and she said, YES!  We are getting a new member of the family next July!  To be honest, Kristi already feels like a member of the family, but we will celebrate with them, cry tears of joy with them, and help bless their marriage on July 9, 2011.  Lexi will gain another wonderful Aunt and Jason and I will be honored to call Kristi our sister.  She is truly one of the sweetest people we have ever met.  Congratulations, Daniel (aka Uncle Do Do) and Kristi (aka Aunt Krissy).  We love you both!

The other blog worthy event is Grandma Mike's 65th birthday tomorrow!  Since it is a "big," "big" meaning significant, not large in number; Kim and I took Mom to Chicago to celebrate.  Mom had a reunion on Friday night and the only way we could get her to go was to book the trip for her.  We of course did not want her to go alone, so Kim and I joined her!  Mom went to the reunion with a friend while Kim and I spent some quality and much needed sister time together.  After the reunion Mom joined us and the three of us were together the rest of the weekend and had a blast!  It was the first time and certainly not the last time, we all took a trip together.  Daughters need their mothers, and mothers need their daughters.  This weekend proved this to be true.  We laughed, relaxed, talked, ate (a lot), and enjoyed every single minute of it.  It was trip I will never forget.  I love you, Mom.  Happy Birthday! 





Since the 2010-2011 is officially here, Jason was in New Jersey and in New York while I was in Chicago.  Lexi stayed in Dallas with Mimi and Paw Paw.  She once again had a blast with them and had a fun and busy weekend.  Thank you Mimi and Paw Paw for taking such great care of our baby girl (and Andie Ann)!

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
