Easiest to photograph


He doesn't ever complain, and sets perfectly still!!


Favorite Photo from my new Nikon D80


This is one of my favorite photos I've taken with my new camera!!!
It hasn't been retouched or enhanced on the computer. So far I love this camera.

Wonderful Compliments . . .

Today we decided to go to the Chinese Buffet after church. I am usually a little nervous about taking all the kids to a restaurant by myself, because, sometimes you just never know how there going to behave. And since I am not feeling like my usual self, (pregnancy with twins) I was a bit hesitant.

Anyway, through the course of our meal, six . . . . . six actual different people came over to our table to compliment me on how well behaved my children were!!! I was so glad to hear this!! Sometimes when you stay at home all the time and end up going through a drive thru because it's easier, you lose sight of how well you are actually doing as a parent. And how well behaved your children can be. This has really given me a little boost to keep going. (like I actually have a choice!!! :) It just makes it a little easier, like I can sometimes see a little glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel. Not that I have a horrible time with my kids, but, parenting 24/7 is difficult, for anyone.

It was a very nice end to the day.

Wow, it's been a long time . . . .

It's obvious, that my new penpal has taken up a lot of my attention! I found a french pen pal and I have spent quite a bit of time comunicating with them.

So I plan to be a better blogger and continue on with my blogging!

I do have quite a bit to blog about . . . .

First of all, the month of March was a rough month. My grandfather was very ill and passed away, then the day we buried him, his brother passed away, so I was driving back and forth to Ky for most of the month. . . . . . and somehow in all of that mess, we conceived a child!!! Yes, we are expecting our sixth child! That was a shock. Especially since our youngest just turned 1 yr old on March 13th.

So now I am trying to organize and clean out our house, make lesson plans for next year and try not to get overwhelmed. Easier said than done.
