Nice Day

Yesterday I got a call from my friend Julie. We have been friends since before we were in school. She lives in NY and was in town staying with her parents for the holiday. We met and went shopping together and had lunch. It was GREAT. I haven't seen her in a couple of years, and even then it was at a wedding, and her little guy was keeping her very busy, so we didn't get to talk much. It was great to catch up with her, she is one of those friends that you can not talk to for a while, and you feel like you didn't miss a day.

We have had a wonderfully relaxing and really stress free week. I am not looking forward to getting back in our usual routine next week :) It will be fine, but I have really been enjoying sleeping in and staying in our jammies a day :P

Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch!

Headgear

Here are some pictures of Cole wearing his headgear. The orthodontist is trying to bring out his upper jaw because he has an under bite.

This and That

Okay, where has time been going!?!? It is all good stuff, but each week just flies by.....it seems like 2 days!

Last weekend we went up to my Grandma's. She lives in St. Ignace just across the Mackinaw Bridge. We spent the day with her on Saturday. It was really nice to see her, and just to relax and sit with her. I actually only make it up there about once a year, maybe twice, but it has been a year since my last visit. She lives on a beautiful river, in the middle of nowhere...it is beautiful and so peaceful.

On our drive home we dropped Morgan off at my mom's house so that she could spend the night there. My mom called Sunday morning and said that she and Morgan would not be coming to church because Morgan was up sick in the night (stomach flu!) So.....the dreaded.....are we all going to get it....when will it strike.......who will it strike.....just one....or any number of us....... I ended up with it Sunday night. The worst I have ever had. It was BAD! So far, the rest have escaped the wrath of the bug!

I have started Christmas shopping. I am pretty much done with Cole. He made a list (as you know) and this made it easier. Also, his birthday is 4 days after Christmas, so I have to buy for both, so if there are extra for Chirstmas, it just goes to birthday pile. The girls are really hard for me this year. They are really in between. They are not teens....and NOT getting cell phones, but not into little girl stuff either. I am hoping to find a reasonable priced digital camera to get them each their own since they always want to use mine.

I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree next weekend! I LOVE Christmas season! I have already brought out my CDs, but haven't listened to them yet, I am just lining them up for next week :P

11 Years

Last weekend was our 11th anniversary. We were both reminiscing about how we have grown together, and as individuals over the years. Was amazing to think back about who we were then, and who we are now. God is so good!

We went out to dinner at Boone's and went to the movie 'Changeling' with Angelina Jolie. It was good....and I especially like true stories. I normally don't watch R movies, but this one looked really good. FYI-there was no sex, but there was some realistic gore, and some swearing. My mom kept the kids overnight, so we got to sleep in on Sunday morning before waking to go to church.

They Must Be Married.....because

On Sunday we were at church and Morgan came up to me and said "Mr. Fields just gave me a kiss and a hug" I was trying very hard to figure out who 'Mr. Fields' was, and then I looked across the room and saw our friend who owns a "Mrs." Fields franchise at the mall, and we see him working there a lot :)
