Kids first trip on airplane

Our family just got back from a week long visit to Chicago. My husband had a meeting there and asked us all to go for a short vacation! It was the children's first time on an airplane. They were beside themselves! I couldn't get over how excited they were to get on the thing! (I do not like airplanes) They fought over who was going to sit by the window and they laughed and giggled the WHOLE 1 1/2 hour flight!! We had a wonderful time in Chicago and got to see a lot of sights thanks to a generous man that my husband knows. He lives in Chicago and is retired with not much to do. He chauffeured us around for three days and gave us a native look into Chicago. I am so thankful he was so willing to be our guide. It is definitely one of my best vacations yet!!

Check out my Slide Show!

Well, my sweet Angel turned 8 on Monday! We had her birthday party on Saturday and she had a blast. On Monday I talked to her about what was happening on the day she was born(I do this every year) and how I was feeling. It is amazing that God has given me this beautiful girl to be my daughter. I am sad that she is growing up so fast, but I am so very happy that I get to watch her grow up. She is an amazing child and I am blessed to be her mother.

Christopher started Kindergarten today...

Well, my baby is officially a kindergartener! The school he will attend has a two week summer program for children entering Kindergarten (4 hrs a day). I was so worried about how he was going to do and what he was going to do when we got there. He was a champ! After we picked him up today he kept saying "I'm in kindergarten now! I'm a kindergartener!" He is so excited. I couldn't be more thrilled. It makes me sad though to realize that he is growing up and won't be my "baby" anymore. I am so afraid his sweet hugs and kisses will soon stop once he is a "big boy" in school. Please pray for me to get thru this new stage.

Hello my friends!

Hi to all! I have seen several friends bloggs and I just thought it was a neat way to keep up with everyone. There are some friends that I have not kept up with and for that I say a big I'M SORRY! I have let LIFE get in the way of remembering those special people in my life. Living out of Elba has definitely kept me out of touch with friends. It is hard living so far away from 'home.' I don't know how well I'll do with this blog, but here goes.......
