Wow

Soooo glad this isn't my brother!

The Big 3

Seems like my baby was just born yesterday and on Friday she will be 3 years old. I can't believe it! I can remember the day she was born, her first smile, her first steps, her first real owie, and now her mile stone birthday. Turning 3 means she will officially be in pre-school and not just day care. It means she gets her own stereo to play her own Disney Cd's. It means she uses the potty like a big girl and she has to give up the Binky. She is going to be fine with all of that, except the last one...the Binky. I'm not sure how it's all going to come down, but by the end of this weekend, the Binky will be gone...I hope!

Grandma Lill

This is the way I remember you. Your smile brightened many sittuations for me. Your laugh took the bad things and made them disappear. I learned the best lessons in life from you and I am passing them on to my girls. I love you very much, Grandma, and I will miss you with all my heart. Thank you for being the best grandma a girl could ever have.

Happy Birthday Leo

For some reason your birthday hit me hard this year. I miss you so much and I wish you were here to give me one of your famous bear hugs. So much has happened in the last 2 years and my family doesn't seem complete without you. I love you very much and I miss you with all my heart.
Your daughter,
Lolly

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today my mom turns...ahem...29...again. I am still amazed how young she looks! I took a close look at her this last weekend trying to find some kind of aging...and didn't find any. She's as beautiful this birthday as she was 20 years ago. I admire her strength and charisma and she almost always has a smile on her face now days. I love you mom! Happy Birthday and may the next...ahem...29 years be as good to you as the last ones have!

Meanie's Stay

This was taken right after I caught him jumping on the bed...notice the "What? I wasn't doing anything" look.

Meanie checking out my new phone. He was trying to call Mawmaw but she didn't answer.

Meanie ate cheese pizza with the girls. He had his very own plate that he picked out while he was here. It turns out that he loves Pooh! Who would have known?

While I was doing laundry Meanie had to "frolic" in the socks. It made him laugh and laugh! What a silly dragon!

Finally, Meanie is now addicted to Starbucks coffee. He had to get up much earlier than he was used to, but the coffee helped! Meanie will post the rest of his pictures on his blog soon. We miss you Meanie! Come back to visit us soon!

Post Secret

As you all know I am a fan of Post Secret. Until today I thought I owned every book...and now I can't wait to read the next one. Recently Frank, the author of Postsecret.com, added a mailing list for his updates and tour dates. I encourage you to sign up and tell everyone you know about his site. I have been moved every week by the post cards he puts on his site and it has helped me through the very rough times in the last 2 years. We never really know what people are going through and I believe this site can help. Please join me in applauding Frank and all the good work he does so unselfishly. I can't imagine what it must take to keep up with all the post cards and posting every week. Great job, Frank! Job well done.
