Christmas 2009

Just a few pics to add to the Christmas folder. We had a great time opening presents and playing with toys. I am so thankful for my kids. They are my light and I thank God everyday for them! Just look at these smiles! How can you not fall in love with those faces!

And, since my daughter is awesome, she had her Lego City put together in about 90 min.

Hard to believe it started out as a huge pile of blocks!

We have snow!

But only a little bit, about an inch or so. My cousin, who lives about 45 minutes away, has over 8 inches. So not fair! I could say that I am surprised, but really I am not. Snow is a rarity around here and 1 inch for us is like 8 for others. It would be really cool if we got snow for Christmas, but I'm not pressing my luck.


In other news, my lovely daughter took her annual testing at school last week. I can't remember which test it was, only that it was the testing that's done in the fall, not in the spring :) And I found out that she maxed out the reading portion and tested at a ninth grade level. Isn't that the most awesome news?

First Fracture

On June 10th 2009 i got a phone call from my mother saying that maia took a nasty spill and she thought she needed to go to the hospital. so i went and picked up maia (who was acting fine by now) and took her to the ER. she had some xrays done and the doc came in and said she fractured her arm. i couldnt believe it.

so now maia is the first one (besides me) to have broken a bone. she is truely taking advantage of being spoiled:)
