Today is your Day

Happy 7th birthday Emma Catheryn. You were my first born, bringing me joy and love that I didn't know even existed. I love you so much beautiful one.

I LOVE YOU EMMA!

How many more days....

Until Red Sox Season 2009 begins...77! Just in case you might be wondering. If you are looking for me on April 6th, I can be found at home, in front of the TV, with my beloved Ellsbury shirt on. You can't miss me.

Jacoby Augusta

Jacoby has a habit of hording his toys. He will take all 6 or 7 of them and cluster them together. He will search the house until all the toys have been found and gathered. Here he couldn't decide which he wanted to chew on, so he had two of them in his mouth. He is truly one of the smartest dogs I know....most of the time.

Asheville Bound

I am leaving for a girls trip in a couple of days with two of my very good friends. One of whom I haven't seen in 3 years. We are heading south...to Asheville NC. Land of grits and sweet tea. Not exactly sure how this type of "diet" is going to play a part in my new Weight Watchers lifestyle, but we shall see. I do believe that grits are listed as a filling food though. Wonder about those sweet potato pancakes I saw listed at the Tupelo Honey Cafe? I must remain strong! I am certain that my southern roots will rear their ugly head and I will return to the north saying "ya'll" and "buggy". It will again take my dear friend Kate many many months to break me from the habit of calling a shopping cart a buggy. Sorry Kate, I apologize in advance. If anyone has been to the area and has any recommendations as to how three girls can find some fun or an excellent place to eat, please pass it along. Please pray for traveling mercies as I will be traveling with my friend Sandi, who just might be even more directionally challenged than myself. Happy trials Ya'll!

Date Night

Not exactly the picture you were expecting, right? Will and Brian had some much needed "man time" tonight with James Bond. Brian showed up at our door with flowers for Will. To to funny! After all, Will IS the most heterosexual male I know. The pictures below speak for themselves! :) He's all yours for the evening Brian. No curfew! Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy birthday Mom. We hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you for being an amazing mother and friend. You are truly an inspiration to me and a perfect example of what a mother should be. Thank you. I am so proud to call you mother and friend. Why do I love you so? :) Love you Mom!

I Just Couldn't Help Myself

Found this picture on flickr.com and thought it was hysterical.
