Ahhh, if only we could all be this confident!

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!
