Sneak Peak at Our Christmas...

We had an amazing Christmas this year. I can't wait to collect all my thoughts and memories and share them with you. I will leave you with a few pics from around our house.

Happy New Year to you and your family!

If I didn't already have 2 blogs to keep up with...

...I would totally start a new blog...all about the funny stuff that kids say. Maybe I will do a weekly installment or something on this blog. PEOPLE...you don't understand. If you are in a dark slumber and need a good laugh, become a teacher! Kids are the funniest little people ever and the best part is-they don't even know it.

Let me share with you yesterday conversation with a young man in 2nd grade. We were playing a throw and catch type/dodgeball kind of game. So understand that balls are flying all over the gym. Here you go...We will call the student Ralph:

Ralph: Mrs. Harris...are you out if you get hit in the private parts?

Mrs. Harris: Yes, you are out. The only way your not out is if you get hit in the head.

Ralph: But Mrs. Harris...I got hit right in the privates!

Mrs. Harris: I understand, but your still out!

Ralph: Mrs. Harris, you don't understand. I shouldn't be out. I mean, I got hit right in the PENIS and it hurts really bad. I am pretty sure that if I go back in it would feel better, so I think that I shouldn't be out.

Mrs. Harris: Ralph, your out!

Ralph: Well, I just want you to know that my PENIS is not happy with you!

Great!!! Nothing like a conversation with a little person about his PENIS to make me laugh so much!

On a side note, Josh has been cranking out some photography orders lately. He is working around the clock and I am so proud of him...Tomorrow is his birthday and I don't know that he is very excited about it, but I LOVE birthday's so I am pretty sure that he will get over it! I had to show off some of his latest work. The first couple of pictures are of our great friends, Rachel and Jason and their son Owen! I LOVE the pictures so much! Owen is such a little handsome thing!! I could totally see Maggie marrying him one day! I would love it!

The next picture is of the sweet Cornwell family. I have never actually meet Nancy and the family but I have watched Ms. Lilli grow up through Josh's lense. Lilli is absolutely beautiful. I think this family picture is too cute. It reminds me of the song, I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause! Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!

Long Time No Post...

I realized that it has been forever since I have blogged. I have totally forgotten about Halloween, Thanksgiving...urggg!!! I SAY!!!

Hopefully, with Christmas Break around the corner (thank the GOOD LORD ABOVE) I will get back in the swing of things.

For those of you that don't know, I have been very ill since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. After my 3rd return Dr. Visit yesterday, he is wondering if I am getting Mono again. Therefore he has decided to refer me to an Infectious Diseases Specialist on Jan. 18th. Within the past two weeks, I have had what we know and think is the following:

• a mild case of the Flu
• a UTI
• bacterial bronchitis
• pluerisy

It has been a fun couple of weeks. I have missed 5.5 days of school and Josh and Maggie are learning to live without Mommy all the time. It has been a hard couple of weeks.
Until next time, I leave you with some awesome giveaway opportunities in blog land.
