Happy Birthday, John!

I can't believe it's been 8 years since this beautiful creature came in to my life! I hope you have a wonderful birthday, baby (not gonna get away with calling him that too much longer). I have enjoyed every minute of your life. You bring me so much joy. I love watching you learn and listening to you analyze everything! Have a wonderful day and know that Mommy loves you very much!

Botox

Alex developed an ear infection last week and is now on an antibiotic. I told him it was time for his medicine and he said "Is it time for my Botox?" Where did he get that one from??

Goals for 2009...

Well, I'm back at work. Yipee! Back to the routine...Here are few goals I have in mind for 2009:
1. Be a better wife, mother, sister, friend, nurse and daughter/sister in-law. That sounds so broad and probably a little cliche - relationships take work, time and effort. I plan to put forth more effort, most especially in prayer for each person with whom I am in a relationship.
2. Spend less money.
3. Eat less and exercise more.
4. Make sure I enjoy my children, each minute, every day.
5. Spend a lot of time and prayer on a big decision for our family...yes...I am talking about having another baby... I want this to be God's will though and not mine.

I think that is enough. Hopefully, I can keep each of them.

Happy New Year!

Aquarium

The boys had a great time at the Aquarium last week. Not sure what was more exciting the Aquarium or staying in the Holiday Inn Express the night before... They love hotel rooms. We did have quite the adventure while there - while getting our lunch and following Shon to a table, Alex disapeared. Scariest few minutes ever! This really nice couple found him and we all (at the exact same time by God's great hand) ended up at the information desk. After a few tears of joy we went on with our day. Thank the Lord! I wouldn't recommend going the week after Christmas...just too crowded but we do plan to go back. The Dolphin exhibit opens in 2010.
