Keep Her In Your Prayers

Aunt Tina was really in rare form today when I visisted. Uncle Bo had said something and she stated that she would slap him if she could get her arm up there. So he offered to help her by lifting it up to him and the smile that it brought to both was priceless. I can't believe how peacefully she is accepting that her time is near and talking about the party she is going to have with those already gone.

The Package Has Arrived

I will post more on this when I get back home but I just wanted to show what the package actually had in it and boy was I off with my guessing. I love you Big Sassy One and really appreciate the little silly things that you do and your thoughtfulness.

Anticipation Of A Package from Big Sassy One

Ok the Big Sassy One has put the challenge on!! She has gotten the excitement of receiving a package in the mail with the curiousity of what is in it going. She has indicated that it is in a medium size parcel package that the post office provides. She has challenged me to try and figure it out before I receive it with a limited number of clues. There is something translucent, this I think might be some of the goody bags that you put special treats in; cranberry red is something to do with the old fashion red hots that we had as kids; icy blue cough drops; cotton candy pink stuffing for a valentine pillow; red on white material for the pillow; brunt orange with lots of creamy white a pair of footies.

For the record this is really difficult because I have the package sitting right here in front of me and I promised not to open it until I finished this post. Therefore, I am going to sign off with this one and I will update in a few with the real contents revealed. Love you but you know how hard this is for me.

Most Special Christmas Present

Finally, had the opportunity to put up my most cherished and special Christmas present of all. This plaque honestly says it all and let me tell you they still struggle over who is going to be next to Nana or who is going to sit where on my lap. I really dread the time that they think they are too big for Nana's lap. Thank you Heather, Demitrius and Isabella for something so special. I love you guys more then you will ever know.

Surprise Card with Package to follow

Received this really special just thinking of you card in the mail that really meant the world to me "Just Because". Then to see TJei's signature in the corner just made it all that more special. I was really excited and was wondering what I did to deserve this, so needless to say I called to find out what was up and Big Sassy indicated that this is what she needed my address for and she just wanted to get it in the mail. WELL. . . this was a very nice jester but I knew that she was up to something and sure enough a couple of days later this arrived. . .

This Project Life has been on back order for quite a while and then there was delays in shipping as it was being put over to Amazon.com so I really didn't think there was any chance of ever receiving one since it was such a hot item. Big Sassy knew how much I really wanted one of these and besides what was going on with the shipping that I really couldn't afford one at this time. So to my surprise this package was delivered and needless to say it was a day of some emotions blasting out. I honestly think I was jumping in the wheelchair because I had received this. Again, Big Sassy I really can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness. There may be many miles between us but that will never interfer with the love I have for you and how special you are as My Big Sassy Sister. I love you so much and thanks a million for making my day.

Card Shark

Isabella has learned to play "War" and she has not stopped with the game. She woke up at 7:00 a.m. wanting to know where the cards were and waking everyone else up so someone would play with her. Unfortunately, at that hour there was no one (except Nana) willing to even get up let alone play war!! By mid afternoon, she was playing war, crazy 8, go fish, and slap jack. I really think there is no stopping her now. She is even taking the cards to bed with her!

The Love Of A Child

There is nothing greater then the love and respect of a child.
Love ya Rae

Happy New Year

This is the way 2009 ended with Demitrius busting his knee open. . . because he still believes he can fly!! Long on going inside joke with him. He ended up with 10 stitches and lots of pain from hitting the metal frame of the pull out couch.


Here as the big ball was getting ready to fall Demitrius, Isabella, Kalee, Britenee and Nickolas were definitely celebrating. Along with the celebrating of the New Year we also celebrate the birthday of Pokemon Pikachu. This is the 3rd year we have had this birthday celebration for him. Grandma and Hoppa even brought out cupcakes for the occassion. Thanks as we didn't get the time to make ours with taking the unexpected break for the emergency room.

Happy 2010! - Thanks to my friends and family for a great 2009, here's to an even better 2010!
