Ben and Grace have been pretending to be cats.  Grace is a kitty and Ben is a Tiger.  Just thought this pictures was too cute to not share it.  They can be so much fun!

   Dress Up Fun

This is my first post since July.  We've completed almost 8 weeks of school but my blogging time has been seriously affected.  This is how much fun 3 year olds can have at home and be learning at the same time.  I love home schooling.

Summer Parties

Life at Our House

After downloading the latest pictures from my camera, I understand why people lately having been telling me how tired I look. Even the cashier at Publix asked me if I was tired. You'll understand when you see this collection of pictures that shows pictures of hail from the storms that brought tornadoes, and destruction to our area of the southeast; twins playing with the water hose; lizards being chased and now two new puppies. Life is full to say the least but mom is taking tomorrow off. It is Mother's Day and that is what I want for my gift. One day off duty. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and would not change it for anything but when the cashiers at Publix start making comments to me, it's definitely time to not feel insulted but listen and get some rest:)

Grace

Grace is the most beautiful when she is asleep and when she is smiling. I love her eyes and her smile. She can be so loving. Her favorite thing to tell me these days is "I'm mommy's baby" as I have told her that she was the last of all the children to be born and she is my special baby. My baby will be 3 years old on May 12th....time is going by too fast.

Easter 2011

Today was a celebration at our house. Celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus and also celebrating a reunion of sisters . My sister Kim and her children came to spend the afternoon with us. It has been many years since Kim and I have had fun spending time with each other....too many years of conflict and fighting between us. Today was a special day of family fun and enjoying our time together.

Remembering the Baby Days

Just thinking today at how Ben and Grace are almost 3 years old and how far behind I am in posting pictures of them. We just returned from a week at the beach in Florida and I am still doing laundry and putting away clothes. They are no longer afraid of the ocean and think it is so much fun to run into the water and then let the waves chase them back. Ben was so excited by the waves that he would just scream in delight. Fortunately, the people closest to us on the beach also had children and weren't freaked out by his screaming...guess they knew it was happy screaming.
