Good Morning Alfalfa...Oh, It's Just Ben!!!

This is what Ben's hair looked like the other day when I woke him up for school. It was a perfect Alfalfa hair do. Thomas and I thought it was pretty funny, he really didn't see as much humor in it as we did. I didn't let him look in the mirror to see his hair until after I took the pictures - I wasn't sure he would let me take them if I did.

Natalie Princess

Target had some "Princess" clothes in their $1.00 bins the other day and I had to get them for Natalie. She really didn't have any dress-up clothes.







This is Johnny watching Natalie dance around in her "Princess" clothes.

Happy Birthday Thomas!!

Thomas I hope that you have a wonderful birthday. Ben, Johnny, Natalie & I love you very much. I feel very lucky to have you in my life. I know that I have told you this before, but I always think of you when I hear one of my favorite songs and you also make me think of it. It pretty much sums up how I feel about you:

I was lost until you found me
You're the reason for my today
Was tempest tossed now I sleep soundly
Thanks to you I gladly say

Trust in me to share your burden
Stand by you where I belong
When life brings the day uncertain
I will soothe you with my song

Fear no flood in stormy weather
Fear no fire if winds arise
Flesh and blood I'm yours forever
And forever, never dies

I hope that wasn't too sappy for you, but it's true. I love you - you are my happiness!

Tinker Toy Fun

Thank you Grandma for the Tinker Toys!!! Johnny (and his Dad, brother and sister) LOVES them.

Johnny's 3rd Birthday!

My beautiful little Johnny turned 3 on Sat., Jan. 3rd. I can not believe that he is that old. It seems like yesterday that I was holding a little, fragile munchkin in my arms. He was so little and skinny, but really long. I use to call him my "little long John". Every year on his birthday I have a flood of emotion hit me. It is a mixture of happiness and sadness in remembering everything that went along with his birth. He is a true blessing to our family and my personal little miracle. I love you Johnny!!!

Fun At Gran's House

We went to Gran Lane's house on New Year's day. The kids had a great time playing outside with their cousins.
