56/365 02/26/10 Dentist Appointment....


Just like my doctor, I can't give up the dentist I've gone to for years. So I drive the hour and 20 minutes to see him......


55/365 02/25/10 Rachel and Madie.....

Jackie really wanted some pictures of Rachel and Madie together. She came over and after many, many attempts (and much wiggling, being silly, squeezing Madie too tight, pressing her chin into Madie's head and even ear biting a time or two), we got these. While they may not be exactly what she had hoped for, I think they show just how much Rachel delights in her little sister. She truly can't keep from touching her, kissing her, holding her hands, and talking to her (even when she's sleeping). I love that she loves her so much! (and maybe someday we will get that "hoped for" photo).....

53/365 02/23/10 ANOTHER SNOW DAY....(when will spring arrive?)

52/365 02/22/10 Silly little Easter chicks!


I love these cute little Easter chicks. I got them yesterday at Hobby Lobby and I have no idea what I am going to do with them. I used to get these same colorful chicks when I was a little girl, except they weren't in a box of 8. They were sold seperately for a few cents and it was so HARD to decide which color chick I wanted. I would keep that silly little thing for months. Aren't they cute?? They just make me smile.....

She also made us a birthday cake.......and the kids sang us "Happy Birthday"...

And I got this family photo of the grandkids.....Drew has been sick with strep and didn't feel good and would not let us take his cup and Madie had to borrow Miles' car pajamas.

It was a good birthday celebration......

Mike planned a special birthday treat. He took me to a spa for the works and then to the Worthington for dinner and to spend the night. I had a good birthday!!

48/365 02/17/10 My first twin photos......

Today I had my first newborn twin photo shoot! These two, Sofie and Lillie, were so cute and little. They were born early, spent 3 weeks in the NICU, and now weigh 5 and 6 pounds. They were 6 weeks old today. They obviously love each other and just snuggled up when we put them together. Can't you just see the bond between these sisters already?
What a sweet day!! (And I get to do it again in about 2 weeks!)

46/365 02/15/10 Happy "Late" Valentine's Day and Round 2 of the Tutu!!

Today I went to see Madie. Since the snowstorm hit I wasn't able to go there at all last week. Of course, I had plans to take Valentine pictures with a red, hot pink, and pink tutu and a matching hat and bow! So we took them just one day after the holiday. She is a sweet little Valentine baby!!





















Here she is with the special Valentine card Rachel made for her....

45/365 02/14/10 Happy Valentines Day!!

I love flowers and I got some very pretty ones for Valentine's Day. Drew brought me this peach rose last night that he picked out all by himself. He also made us a valentine card. And Mike brought me this huge bouquet of hot pink roses, lavender daisies, white mums, and other flowers. We went out to dinner and had a wonderful day!


44/365 02/13/10 Visit with Mom and Daddy...

We went to see Mom and Daddy today and took Mom to eat her favorite hamburger at Texas Trails. We had a very good visit and enjoyed our lunch. Happy very late Birthday Mom!!

43/365 02/12/10 Snow Day...

Today is a snow day! Mike couldn't go to work and we were completely snowed it. The weatherman said it was a record snowfall. We measured last night and we had about 81/2 inches and it was still snowing. It hasn't melted hardly at all today. It is eerily quiet, calm, and beautiful.














And we enjoyed these awesome cupcakes that Mike brought home yesterday from Ultimate Cupcakes....wow are they good!!!

42/365 02/11/10 A delightful day.....


Today I woke up about 5:00 a.m. and snow had completely covered our yard. I can't believe that it is snowing again this winter! As of now, 4:30 p.m., it is still snowing. I think it has snowed about 7 or 8 inches so far. This morning I was watching the snow coming down and I saw those birds - the ones that I posted about flying in huge groups. Well they are robins!! Hundreds and hundreds of them, sitting in all the trees and flying around. I love birds and I love robins!





Outside my bedroom window I have this possum haw holly tree. It is (was) full of these red berries. I took this early this morning......


The robins found it and had a field day eating these berries!! And I had a field day taking pictures!! I've always said "I wish I could get a picture of a bird with a red berry in it's beak" and today God blessed me with the perfect opportunity to take many, many pictures of a bird with a berry in it's beak!!!





















And this is my holly tree now....just 2 or 3 berries left.....

Isn't God good? He just thrilled me today....snow, birds, a berry tree, and a camera!!!
