A tranformation

My sister has been transformed. She was a woman, who hadn't gone through the rite of passage into motherhood. Now she's there! It is so sweet to hear her talk about her little baby. I called my mom yesterday and I just listened to her singing to her little baby, and loving her. She may not even know that I was listening to her. Dan and her are awesome parents! And I know they are going to be the best parents for Sarah.

It is hard to believe that my girls were that little once. I wish I had my baby books here.

Sunday Grattitudes

I haven't done Sunday Grattitudes for a while. I've been worn out! Worn out, worn out. YIKES! I don't know why? I am just working, going to school raising two beautiful little girls and all as a "single" mom. If it weren't for my dad, I'm not sure how I'd be doing this. Glory be the day when Joe, the girls and I will be living together as a family again.

So now for the grattitudes.

1. My happy, healthy niece is doing awesome! And my sister is healing nicely from her c-section too. I'm grateful that she has lots of help from my mom, Dan's mom and Dan. :) I wish I could hold little Sarah. That will have to wait until May when they come for Justin's graduation.

2. I got two more As in my master's program! Yahoo! I've gotten 2 A-s, so I don't have a 4.0 anymore, but pretty dang close. I am just so excited about this. I had a hard time in school. Listening to lectures just wasn't my thing. This on-line learning rocks! :)

3. I have a loving husband who loves me more than anything. He is missing us like crazy. Too bad I couldn't send one of the girls back with him. hehe! But we're all in school and have to stay here.

4. Jamie and Faith are very happy and love each other very much. They play so well together. It sure makes doing my homework that much easier. I'm also happy that they love each other so very much.

I have to get back to my homework. I have to read, read, read. :) Thanks for reading!

My niece is here!

And she's super cute. I just wish I could go see her. :) Here are some pictures.

New post on my teacher website

Wild and crazy girls weekend!

Well, we had a long weekend this weekend, no school tomorrow! :) I have had the last two weeks of from school and classes start up again this week. So I don't have any pressing homework to do. So the girls and I have had a "wild and crazy weekend." hehe! We have been watching family and kid movies galore! We've watched "Space Chimps," "Snow Buddies," "Madagascar 2," and "Open Season 2." We also have a couple Air Bud movies to watch. We went to the mall today and bought Easter dresses.



Faith's Easter outfit, I let her get a tunic and stretch pants.



Jamie's Easter dress.

Tonight Jordan stayed overnight and we're having pancakes in the morning. :) Fun, Fun, Fun! :)

Big spending day!

Holy Cow! I didn't set out to spend all of my upcoming pay check today, but I did! YIKES! Sorry hunny! I called and ordered three text books this morning that didn't get ordered via a website last week. (I hope I get those before my class starts this weekend.) Then I hit Target to get a binder for my upcoming class. They had swim suits! My swim suit died, so I got two new suits. I'll try them on, and see if they both look good. That and some other things from Target made for a nice bill! At least the suits weren't expensive. Next I took the girls to Olive Garden for dinner and we went back to Target to get them some suits. Jamie out grew hers and Faith's fell apart. I think Faith could still wear the same suit she wore when she was 2! She's so skinny. When I got home, I realized I hadn't made hotel reservations for my conference in March. YIKES! So dang, there goes my check for this week.

I guess I'll be staying close to home and off of the online shopping for quite a while! :)

Girls weekend!

No, not the I'm going out with girls my own age weekend. My nieces are here this weekend! And my dad is way far out numbered: 5 girls to 1 guy. 6 girls if you count the dog. :) But do you know what? He loves it that way. He loves all of these little girls here. It is just too bad he has so much work to do this weekend. I on the other hand am off this weekend and next weekend from what I now call "learning school," AKA my master's degree. So we are going to play, maybe do our nails and watch cartoons. :) Hopefully dad will have time to make pancakes in the morning for breakfast.

Tonight, my dad is taking Jamie and Faith to a Father Daughter Dance. He is excited about it. :)

My sister is 37 weeks! I'm so excited! After two miscarriages this is awesome! Little Sarah should be here soon. I so wish I could be there. Her husband got a new job, so they'll be moving back to live by Langley. Gracious! A new baby, selling a house and moving. Busy, Busy, Busy!
