3 and a half months later

And I'm finally posting after I said that I would (try) post everyday. Ha! Did I really think I would follow through with that????

Since having our second child I forget to do a lot (like keeping up with my blog) and this is why I have lists. Lots of them! I have lists on my computer, on a post it note, on a notepad that hangs on our fridge, on the back of an envelope....you name it I have a list somewhere in this house. It's not often that I complete my lists but that doesn't matter. I at least have good intentions. Anyway......

In the last 3 months we have been pretty busy. Malcom made it back home in February after being overseas since November. His trip was extended a little longer because he had to go to Louisiana for MawMaw's funeral. Wow....I miss that woman. Women like her are few and far between....she truly was a special person and when I think that my children will never know her my heart hurts a little.

This past winter was just miserable cold. Seriously! Ok, so my northern friends may think I'm a whimp and yes, they did have it worse than us. I get it! But, I'm still and always will be a Florida girl and my bones can't handle the cold. The first snow was fun because we just don't get that type of weather around here often. Anymore, than that and I'm good. I just don't need it. So the warmth of this weekend is very much appreciated!!! 75 degrees!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

So with that I need to go and get ready to enjoy this perfect day with my family. I think I see a trip to Home Depot to get some plants to put in the flower beds. I think I see some yard work in Malcom's ....I mean, my future :)

365 days........

Several of my friends last year did a blog everyday for the entire year and I think it's a brilliant idea! Recording your thoughts, sharing pictures, letting family and friends around the country and world know what you have been up to and more is a great way to "keep in touch". So I'm jumping on this bandwagon....well, I'm going to try. I know I missed yesterday so I'm not off to a good start but whatever.....it's bound to happen :) ok....not the best attitude to have when I'm starting something new but......oh well!

So.....Happy New Year!!!! 2010!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! I remember as a little girl when I would think about this year - well, not exactly this year but this time - the 2000's and I would think we would be driving cars that could fly......you know anything related to the Jetson's and it would be happening. There is a lot of high tech stuff out there but I don't have much of it.....I just got a Blackberry so I'm slowly but surely getting with the "times".

I'll be back later to post some pics of my babies starting the new year. :)

Fall

Yesterday I went with Jacob and his preschool to the local pumpkin patch. We had so much fun....the only downfall.....the very cold weather! I am not wondering where Fall went to! It feels like winter to me. :)

We started off going to the pumpkin patch first where the kids got to go on a hayride and then pick their own pumpkin. After that we drove to the farmer's market where they learned about the veggies, etc......to be honest with you - the 3 year old group didn't really care about that.

Here are some pics. They aren't in order.
