My friend Terrye at http://graceelyseshirley.blogspot.com/ chose me for this award. We started blogging in Jan 2005 so that we could share our journey to Abigail, and the antics of the rest of the crew with our family and friends. Now we have been home for over 3 years and still share our lives with our virtual friends we've met along the way and the friends who live far away. I was amazed at how many friends we've made along the way of blogging. Friends I've shared pain and joys with over the past 3 years. Friends I'm certain we'll be sharing with for a very long time. "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find friends and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships will be propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly- written text into the body of their award."

As per Grandma Lavon's request and a huge Thanks to Donna for the cord. Here are som random pics of the girls. So much has happened over the past few months. Can life be any better than walking down the street with Santa Clause :>) Genevieve all ready for her Christmas Program The girls and their"bestest"cousin Felicia at her Christmas Program Somedays she is just too darn cute Abigail on her birthday Genevieve's first day of school The girls and myself in China Town last fall Genevieve trying to read the CNY brochure from Chicago Abigail and her mean face Genevieve and her first lost tooth in November Abigail as Giselle for Halloween Genevieve in Her Wendy Wu costume for Halloween

Oh My life

I tried to add pics and the files are no good on this computer. So I went to reload them on here in a different file and I can't find my cord. GRRRRRR I will as soon as possible load pics. The girls have grown so much, it's amazing

Yes we are still alive in Granger Indiana

I will post more tonight but knew I needed to get on here for a minute or two. I will say few great things have happened. 1) The contractors have finally left our home after 3 months. It was suppose to be a 2 1/2 week job. But we finally can move on with our life 2) Abigail has a "real" diagnosis now. She RAD Respiratory Airway Disease. Now that we know what we are dealing with, we can better prevent it. 3) Genevieve got her first report card and she is doing awesome. 4) Daddy is still working. In this economy that is a blessing. 5) Because the contractors have finally left, I now have a fully functional laundry room. Wooooo Hooo no more packing laundry down the road. I have pics loaded in the computer and will get them on tonight. Thanks for being so patient and following along.
