will david's little shirt reads today....
I love Mommy. Mommy loves me. I love Daddy. Daddy loves me.
Everybody loves me. I love Everbody.
Isn't that cute? I just love the "Everybody" part!
today is a slow day. i have a headache. i am tired. there.....maybe now that i said it i can get over those two things!
i am going to make a deal with ella....about piano practicing. they just started offering popcorn, freshly popped, at school in the cafeteria on tuesdays and thursdays. so, if she practices for 10 minutes on sunday and monday, she gets a quarter for popcorn on tuesday. if she practices for 10 minutes on tuesday and wednesday, she gets a quarter for popcorn on thursday. i hope it works. the only reason i'm doing it is to see if she starts "volunteering" for practice. that's all. not that she doesn't WANT to practice. she does, but i am hoping this makes her think about it herself.
i am struggling with some scrapbooking layouts yesterday and today. they just aren't working for me. and i don't like when that happens. i feel like i've been wasting my time! oh well!
rich works this weekend so i think that is why i already feel tired today. i do plan on going to church, though. today we should be packing up to go visit my parents' a little bit. tomorrow night, my friend, Katie, is having a super bowl party at her house. i am planning on taking the kids just for the food part, ha! i am NOT into football at all. neither is rich, really, for that matter. but, rich works anyways, so that's okay.
i have several new books in my hands that i will be posting about the next few weeks..and giving copies away! so, stay tuned. several are for married couples, too..and perfect for the special loving holiday coming up.
what do you think about these three little kittens? several pics from their cousin Abigail's birthday last weekend!

*editing this to add, please pray for philip- he has the start of something....came home tonight and he has a slight fever, along with this cough that started last night. looks like we'll be staying home tomorrow! that's really disappointing to me right now, but there's no other way! unless he has a complete turn around!

Coming back here...I think
so, hopefully this won't irritate nor confuse anyone...
but I am thinking of just returning to blogger (no offense, wordpress!)
the other is too limiting!

mind this post
i will certainly keep this blog up forever and ever and ever....especially so you can see the most recent pics of Will David, like the one right below this!, however....
I decided to try Wordpress blogging.
So, you will have to go here from now on: www.look2theskye.wordpress.com
And, for my photography business (haha..for this one....as I am not really able to accomplish this at this time)...you will go here: www.cthphoto.wordpress.com
It may be that I decide to come back here. Who knows. We'll see!

It's Our Anniversary!
Seven years!
We are probably going to Panera Bread for lunch, with the boys, for a quick lunch. It's Rich's day off, so how about that for timing?! Ella returns to school after a nice 2 week Christmas vacation. We'll miss her, but I think Philip will miss her most! He had a nice playmate during the day and he'll definitely miss having her here to play with. Oh, how I wish I could write more, but that's not the case these days! Have a great day, readers!
Okay, well, I'm back!
I wanted to say some things about my Richie....
good things. all good things.
I love how he eats breakfast standing up.
I love how he teases the kids.
I love how he teases ME.
I love how handsome and cute he is.
I love it when he lets a beard kinda grow.
I love how he gets me chocolate.
I love how he gives hugs and kisses...to me AND to the kids.
I love how he is a kid at heart.
I love how he enjoys playing his instruments.
I love how he introduced me to Alladins and talk radio.
I love his family.
I love how he took over caring for our cat Kodak when i wasn't really in the mindset to anymore...poor kitty...but he has a second loving owner!
I love how he understands me.
I love his calming nature.
I love hearing his voice on the phone.
I love how he prays.
I love holding his hand.
I love how he takes care of himself and walks or rides his bike.
I love how he likes to work hard.
I love how he loves his Mother.
I love how he needs me to make phone calls.
I love how he smiles.
I love that he came after me to propose several states away.
I love that we can enjoy the life God gave us...together...
Happy Anniversary my love!

We enjoyed our vacation days, and Ella returns to school tomorrow! More later, it's hard to type one handed, let alone, with my LEFT hand!!!
