It's a good day!

So... Today is the nine month anniversary of the passing of our sweet little Angel Kourtney. Today is also MLK day (Martin Luther King,Jr.). I spend my morning making texture blocks for the blind school. I maybe complained about this project a bit(at first we were going to sew quilts for the school, I can not sew) however, when I found out that Kourtneys day and the project day were one in the same I decided that this was something that I really wanted to do and I was excited for it. You see, the Blind School was very good to Kourtney. They had a "teacher" come to the house and work with her once a week, she was a recipient of some texture blocks (not the same ones I was making of course but ones that were very similar:) What a great way to spend my day. Giving back! Two wonderful reasons to do it:)

I hope you all very a nice day too!!!!!!

Alvin and the Chipmunks

On Saturday Dan and I took Kadrey and Jogee to the movies - we saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. We had so much fun, Jogee was really getting into the movie and started to dance along (well, he was dancing like Dave to be silly) at the end. Kadrey loved it to she is just more reserved then Jogee is :)

Happy New Year (2010)

I hope you have a great new year!! The kids and I spent sometime at Grandma and Grandpas house last night (but not till the new year only until about 8pm) we had some yummy dip and crackers and the kids played games with Grandma. It was fun.
I was in bed last night when the fire works started to go off. Sure enough I ended up sleeping with the little boy of mine in bed with me -silly guy-
There is a Christmas song (sorry can't remember what it is called) that says "next year all your troubles will be miles away". Lets hope right?!
Now the dieting must begin :)
