Music Lady

This was Sissy's first band concert. I am so proud of her! She has wanted to play flute since she was in kindergarten. She seen some gals from our church play at the time and it just intrigued her. She is doing so well. Tony and I have her set up with private lessons once a week. Mrs. K has been so FABULOUS. She is also a music teacher. Courtney has been a quick learner but would not have had the chance to move up with the second year students if it wasn't for Mrs. K's help. Sorry that this picture is not the best. Unfortunately most of the ones we took are blurry. Which makes me sad but the kids were constantly moving doing what they needed to do.

Just Wondering

I have a question. More for Moms to answer. What time do you get up in the morning? That is on a regular basis. Do you catch a nap during the day if you can? Yes I am asking because I think I might be a whiner. There I said it and no I do not think I feel any better that I did. A girlfriend and I were talking the other day about this. I am trying to figure out the best time to fit in exercise on a regular basis and I am having a hard time of it. So let me spill my thoughts to you and I would love you input. My day starts at 6:30 for the most part. (Except when my honey lets me sleep in on the Sat then it starts at 8:00.) Caleb is usually up at 6:30. He lays down for a nap around 9:30ish. So I can exercise then and have time for a shower. Then by the time I am done he is up. The thing I do not like about that is I have to wait to get my day started. Yes I can get things done around the house but I like to get up and get ready for the day. Not look like a slob for half the day. Or I could get up at 5:00 when Tony leaves for work and get the exercise in then. I would be able to get ready for my day before the kids wake up and they will have a Momma that is ready to meet their needs. Well that is the way it is supposed to work right? I did that for a week and I tell you what I was a tired Momma by the end of the day. I should have said worn out. So while at work in the evening I am thinking this is so crazy. Does a extra hour and a half of sleep really help that much? Or is it all in my head? So tell me when your day starts. If you could have your choice when would you fit the exercise in between the two choices?

Gracie's New Buddy

This is Gracie's new friend Tera. The girls have hit it off. It has been so much fun to listen to her get excited about her coming over to play. The other night coming home from Tera's house it had not even been five minutes down the road and Gracie said "I love Tera and I miss her." They are pretty sweet. I was trying to get a picture of the two of them right before we left. Tera seems to do well for the camera. Gracie was looking at Daddy instead of Momma but she had her smile on.

Singing With The Ludka's

We had the Ludka family over on Tuesday. What fun we had! They came up from CT for a little R&R. He Pastor's Community Baptist Church in Groton CT. What a blessing they are in our life. Dear sweet friends! It might be hard to hear them because some the boys were playing a video game, but they are singing to Caleb. They were singing lazy bones I think. Caleb was loving it.

Okay I have tried over and over to get the video to work and it just wont. It will work on the preview but when I publish it the video will not play. I am sorry. SO I will attach some pictures instead. I like the one of John playing football. He is wining against Uncle Tony in this game.

While Pastor, Bonnie, and Jeffery sang to Caleb, John and Uncle Tony were playing a football game and I was playing Connect Four with Justin, Posha, and Jacob. Who ever won played the other. There for a while Posha was beating all of us on a regular basis, but we figured out his strategies.

WHAT A GREAT DAY!!

Funny Man Warning

Just as a note if you have logged on to my blog and seen a "Rapper" instead of a "Comedian" please know that I did not put that on my blog. Today I logged on only to find that the funny man I had on there had changed his profession and even his ethnic back ground. When I seen this I was floored. I tried to call Tony but he was not available so I called my friend Jenny.(She is a blogging pro!) I asked her what on earth happened. She said, I was on your blog earlier and the funny man was on there. So she pulled it up and started laughing. I am not joking it was a full fledged rap video. That is not exactly me. She then told me that who ever was sponsoring the original video on the you tube probably changed some thing and in return it changed what I had on mine. So I said okay I will let Tony know and we will do something a little different. Well Jenny and I continued talking about make up. Well I clicked back to my blog only to find that the funny man was now back on my blog. She said wait one minute so she could look to, sure enough she started laughing again. It was so weird. I was glad that I had some one witness this with me. It is not all in my head. If for some reason this happens again please e-mail me so that I can fix it.

"The Master's Warriors"

How exciting Saturday was! It was the first class of the "The Master's Warriors". There were six men that came and one gentelman that was on vacation. Since then Tony has had one more gentleman that is going to join with his son. How exciting is that! We are looking forward to what the Lord will be able to do with this ministry.

I was able to watch and I tell you what I was on the side lines taking it all in. I found myself giving a pep talk in my head for each guy. I know it is tough and they all gave it their best effort! I really look forward to watching again on Sat.
