Sara (10) made this on PowerPoint today, while I was in the shower she came & said to look at her slideshow on the computer when I got out. (It took me a minute to realize the "soup spinny thing" was the "Lazy Susan" lol - I've never called it that because they have an Aunt Susan!) and of course, Sara was hiding in it downstairs ;) What a silly! I couldn't believe she could fit in there!

I'm laying in bed sick today, which would be a perfect time to get caught up on my blogging. But...my main computer (the one with all the pictures on it) has a virus. I know that most the pictures are backed up... but all? I'm worried. I found that I had a few pics on this computer so i thought I would post one. I'm not just thankful for this picture...but for this girl. She is smart and inquisitive and sometimes her spirit is just bigger than her body...but I think she is turning into an amazing person. I am thankful I am her mother.

JodiToday I held my baby until she fell asleep. She's not really a baby anymore but I have my moments when I like to forget and she has her moments where she will let me. I thought of the book "I Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. "I'll love you forever. I'll love you for always. As long as your living my baby you'll be."

2010-02-21T19:20:00.002-07:00

JodiMadi has been over-photographed her entire life. It's not her fault. I love taking pictures and she is a very willing to humor me. Today we had fun playing around.

This became my lunch on the way to 12:00 church today. Somehow I still haven't figured out how to get all 5 of us decent, fed, and out the door in time. Maybe next week. Maybe when my husband isn't already at church for meetings. Or, maybe in 18 years when I'm missing all these little ones. I think I like apples for lunch.

Amy

Today I ran away to the temple...all by myself. What a great "get away" for stressed mom's. When I came out, I looked up and saw this. Can't beat this kind of day.

Hoping to be moving foward in 2010

Sara (10) is always making those little folded paper things, she calls "fortune tellers" (I can't remember if we named them, but I sure remember making them!) The other day she decided to make a GIANT one (using 20 pieces of paper & 3 rolls of tape!). She told me (with a completely serious tone, as if she were answering a Miss America pageant question on how to solve world peace) "I've always loved fortune tellers... but I really wanted to take them to the next level". ;)

Jodi
New year. New snow. New resolutions. New blog.
