Bling Bling

Today was the yearly eye doctor appointment in Owensboro. Of course when we have to go to Owensboro we usually run several errands and do some shopping. We were at the mall today and the girls decided they wanted their ears pierced. Darrian wanted the upper ear on one side and Jadeyn picked a pair of hoops - we agreed thinking they would be easier to maintain. Big sister had to go first so little sister could evaluate the pain level. Darrian didn't show much discomfort so Jadeyn hopped in the chair next. She didn't get upset until it was time to close the backs. All in all they both did fine and they are happy with their new bling. Shaylen asked if he could get his pierced next, I'm not sure what to think about that request.....

As I took out the fall decorations this week I remembered the shirts I bought the kids last year after Halloween. In the second box we took down there they were. In the mix was a little 18 month shirt for a certain little boy that I thought for sure would be here by now. I remember standing in the Super Wal-Mart in Corydon, IN November 1 last year, and in my mind it seemed impossible to think he wouldn't be here by now. But here we are still waiting. I threw in a picture of it so you can see how cute he would've been....

Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to my first post! I have spent several hours creating this blog as a way for family and close friends to sort of be able to stand at our window and see what is going on in our life. There are many things that go on that you miss because you live out of town or your work schedule won't allow you to take part. There are school activities, basketball games, and sometimes just random things that happen that I don't have time to update everyone on. I hope to update this often so that you have the opportunity to check in at your convenience.
