Another Beautiful Day

It's cold outside and I'm loving it!! Finally a sign that Fall is here - gotta love Texas and its total lack of seasons! I'm toying with the idea of stoking up the fireplace today. Just because I can. Hehe.

I have a lot to be thankful for today, so here's my 5 for the day:
  • My parents arrive in less than 3 hours!! YEAH!! I can't wait to see them.

  • Reader comments - I love, love, love seeing comments on my blog. I don't mind feeling like I'm talking to myself, but somehow seeing comments makes me happy, less lonely and it's just as excited as getting a piece of good mail. :)

  • Cinnamon apple scented candles - it's the absolute best way to make it feel like the holidays are here. It smells like Christmas.

  • Indoor plumbing - I'm just saying... life without a shower would suck! Having to go in an outhouse would suck even more.

  • Good health - That the people I love most in the world are healthy, both physically and emotionally. I am truly grateful for that.

More to come tomorrow... Loving my list. It really makes me realize how very blessed Iam.

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th...

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I...
