Lil Miss Priss

Miss Sassy Pants is high maintenance. She has been sick for over a month. Her being so demanding is getting annoying especially in the weee morning hours. She will say, "Mama cup, Mama pa-pa, Mama nuggle, Mama kiki one right after the other. When I can't get it to her quick enough she yell ok ok ok. I try to keep her at bay since the boys are sleeping which is not easy sometimes. She is talking more and more and I must say she has the sweetest voice!

All about Luke

It has been an exciting couple of weeks for Luke! He earned his 25pt. award for Accelerated Reading, learned to ride his bike with no training wheels, and lost his first tooth! You are growing up way to fast buddy.

The sad that brings joy!

A friend suffered a miscarriage this morning. She called me not long ago devastated. I didn't even know that she was pregnant. She knew I would understand. And, that I do. I hung up thinking about her saying she hopes soon she won't hurt- but that never totally goes away. In a few days I will wake up and realize that it is my Angel's due date. I will feel very sad even though it has been 2 years. No one will even remember but me. Many times I have wondered why it still makes me sad when I have Aniston. I wouldn't have her had that baby survived. But, what I know now is that no matter how brief that baby was a part of me, Aniston never has or never will replace that child in my heart. Although between Aniston and Luke there is much joy in my heart!

Turn Off the TV

For the last 10 days L. has not watched TV, played video games or used his Spongebob Laptop! We are extrememly proud of him. This was all part of a school program. Kids could participate but it was not required. At the end, if your parents sign off that you did stayed away from all the above you get a huge prize. I hear the prize if a Luau outside and you get a 2 hr recess! Sounds good huh? Oh, you also get to eat lunch outside. Greg and I were talking this morning about how hard this is. Also, we did crafts each day to fill up some of the time. Our weather here in AR has been beautiful and that helped. GOOD JOB LUKE!

What a great Easter we had! The weather wasn't quite as sunny as predicted but at least it wasn't raining in cold. That Easter Bunny really outdid herself this year! She showed up a day early and brought both kids perfume/cologne, crocs, sunglasses and some of the usual junk. We went to Mass in Morrilton so we had to get up early. I always enjoy being there though. The kids were looking forward to playing at Noni and Papas. The had 3 egg hunts. First, Papa's. Second, Uncle Robert's and lastly at Aunt Joy's. We all had a great day. It was very special to hear Luke talk about why Easter is special. He loves his Jesus!
