Just like a prayer.....

I have new pictures for you! Here are some of my little girl, trying on her first communion dress. My sisters and I all wore it for our communion. It cost my mom 15 dollars, she told me. I was overwhelmed, as I envisioned myself wearing it. I see myself in her. She has so much spirit for 6 years old. What will happen when she turns seven? Will she suddenly grow up? I know she will be playful and amazing for the rest of her life, but sometimes I would like to freeze dry her like this.

Find your God today, anyway you can.

We are family!

Here are just a few of the family pictures we had taken the other day. I love Gerri's work, and swear by her now. I will always try to book her first, and I reccomend you do the same! It was interesting to see the inner DIVA come out of Sarah, and to see how easy it is for Gareth to smile. Must mean they are happy kids, don't you think? Anyhoo, I will post a few more, with all of us in them soon. Enjoy!

Saturday's all right for.....

sleeping!
I was up sooo late last night, so when I finally got to sleep, it was 3 am. I had such and emotional and exhausting dream, that I woke tired. Yup. Tired. I felt almost wounded and needed to lie there and regroup, to make sure I was intake, so to speak. I dream of many things, but mostly of dad. I cried so much in my dream. I was inconsolable for most of it. Dr. Freud, what can this mean?

Why not #96?

Why should I wait until post number 100 to celebrate? I think 96 is a pretty great number. This is mighty 96, and gosh darn'it, let's say hurrah!!!!! And what better way to celebrate, than with some family pics! (okay, you had to know that was coming....)

The kids and I were visiting Cori up north, and the little man and I took in the Science and Tech museum. It was awesome. We also hit "Build A Bear Workshop" again. This time to pick up some new outfits for the kids "friends". I was also smitten with the cute cubs, so of course, I got one. Enjoy the pics. Tomorrow, we are getting our family photos done by none other than Gerri Whetherbee! I cannot wait, because no matter how hideous I feel on the inside, she shows beauty in every angle.

Check her out again! CALL HER! Tell her I sent you... and no, I don't get a kick back!

Have a good week all.

Unlike Christina, Nicole, and Cori...
