Cold Weather

Believe it or not, we've had a cold day today. The low was supposed to be 21 in Macon and when we left for work this morning, it was 22 at our house. I guess we were really close to Macon weather.

Friday night we went bowling in Warner Robins. AJ got a strike!!! Beka is more like Lynita and just doesn't get the hang of it. Maybe one day.

Saturday, AJ spent the night with Alicia. The first one-on-one spend the night with somebody! Lynita, Beka and I loaded up and went to eat. When we got home, it was raining and Beka was asleep. When she woke up, she said that she would sleep with mommy and not spend the night with Gie and stay out of the rain. Then she really woke up and stayed awake for several hours, pouting because she couldn't go to Gie's house.....Needless to say, we had two reasons for a sleepless night!

Sunday, we overslept and missed church and later went to get AJ. Then we came home and slept the afternoon away. We did make it to Training Union and both girls ate two hotdogs.....I sense a growth spurt coming our way!

Whoopsy, Daisy, call me crazy. But I love it!

About People Getting Old

It has rained here off and on all day. A very drab, drearry day. The only thing I left the office for today was to pick Justin up for lunch and he kept the car after because I had no intention of getting out in the wet.

Justin was late picking me up from work. Then he poked his head around the corner to my office rather sheepishly. He'd been shopping and hadn't found me anything for my birthday. That's really ok, since we go buy what we want and there's never anything I can buy for his birthday either. When we drive up at the house, both girls come running out screaming "Happy Birthday Mommy!". I act shocked and tell them that today is not my birthday but they inform me that since we have ballet class tomorrow we ARE celebrating it today. I don't think I've ever seen them more excited. I come in the house and they tell me my birthday is in Beka's room. I head that way and they tell me that I can't go in there, I have to go in the computer room. So I sit down and they bring me a cake and presents. Some how, the icing got licked off one side and Pop, our cat, got blamed for it but then Beka said she did it, no she didn't did it, yes she did did it....so we are pretty sure she did. The cake IS chocolate after all. So I get to pick where to eat tomorrow after dance class.....it will be Johnny Carino's.

I already have the picture and theme for my September 2007 layout. September's theme is to tell something about me. The picture will be the one that I will include today and I will call it something like "Its all about me at 47 because they make me who I am". They are what makes my world go round. I get to pick where to eat tomorrow after dance class....it will be Johnny Carino's. They love it and AJ thinks they are the only place that makes Caesar Salad!

I may be getting old but I am enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would! I'll post again soon!

Its A New Year

I will try to do better at this than I did lastyear. Blogging should be easier than emailing so many people at once, I just forget to do it....I'm so use to sending emails.

We went to Wild Adventures last weekend to see the snow. The girls had a blast! It wasn't what we were expecting (and now I don't really know WHAT we were expecting) but I will include a couple of pictures so you can see the set-up. As we were leaving, AJ said that it was even more fun than Disney World. I seriously doubt that but it wasn't as crowded and not near as long of a drive nor did it cost as much nor did we spend as much. So there, its final....we will go again.

The girls are doing great. AJ's gotten several Best of the Bunch certificates; Reading, Writing, Perfect Attendance in Kindergarten this year. Beka is ready for Pre-K if only she was old enough! The only thing that keeps her from going to Play School every day is that she gets entire days with Gie the days that she doesn't go! AJ also got moved up to the next level Ballet class after their Christmas performance of the Nutcracker! Now we go to ballet classes twice a week but they really enjoy dancing so we will take them.

Neither girls' dental enamel formed well so we now have several fillings and crowns in each head. Beka's was due to high fevers in her early life and we don't know what caused AJ's....but we've got the current ones taken care of and shouldn't have to go back to the dentist until their 6 month check-ups.

I guess that is it for now. I hope you all have a good week!
Justin, Lynita, AJ and Beka
