Testing….Pic’s!

Hhhhhhhere’s Logan!

Pensively thinking over the past year…. (hey-ya learn aLOT that first year!)

I LIKE this mommy!

Proof! He can walk now! *smiles proudly*

He’s grown a bit hey? *grin*  Man, I guess I should pop in a few pics of that in between time. What was he….4 mo’s last pic?!  Of course as I write this, I’m assuming (praying) that these pic’s are indeed showing up on your screen like they are mine.   Hmmm. I should check…Nah. Then I’d lose this whole writing time thing, ‘cuz you can bet if I stopped, something would come up and that would be the end of the entry.

I wonder if I’m showing up on bold yet? I did note the DM about that, hope it’s fixed.  So. Now that I’m here, what should I write about?  Well, Brie started a new job today, a much better one with at least 33 hr.s a week. That way she can keep, we think, her insurance benefits.  She works at Ace Hardware. You know Ace is the place right? *w*   Logan was a peach for Grandma today. Whew! He’s been teething and well, you might say he’s been a little dickens the last few days.  But we had a wonderful day. Usually do when it’s just the two of us, he “helps” Grandma you know, and he likes to stay busy so it works well.  The day flies.  It’s been a while since I watched him all day and I was pooped tonight I can tell you that. 

I’m in a very happily thankful mood this fine evening.  Thanks to my husband.  Last month, or maybe 2 months, ago he asked his mom (who is an excellent artist) to paint me a picture of an eagle in the north woods w/ the verse from Isaiah (Isaiah 40:31) that mom read to us, after we saw the eagle at Dad’s funeral and again at her house the day after.

Well it’s absolutely perfect and I don’t think any gift I’ve ever rec’d has ever meant more to me.  For the meaning of it and for my husband thinking of it and having it done.   The eagle has become our “symbol” for Dad you  know and it’s a little hard to look at yet w/o great emotion. I know I will treasure it for the rest of my life. 

We got our “Christmas box” UPS today, and this was in it.  Steve had me open it a little early as I was missing Dad a lot today and we’d been talking about something to do with him.  It was the perfect time to open it.   Wasn’t that so very wonderful of Steve to do?  I love that man with all my heart.  Be a shame not to, him being so great and all. *grin*

Hmmm…let’s see…what else?  Oh, Chels had a fight with her best friend (oy vey) but they finally made up yesterday and she’s staying the night tonight. Those teenage fights can be rough if you remember. Not so easy for mom either.  Then they make up and I’m left steaming over the injustice’s done to Chels!  Nah, not really, I’m just glad they made up and the tears and drama of that are over. For now.  Ahhhh, high school. Wouldn’t go back if they paid me.

Another little tidbit. Hubs got laid off for good. The company closed it’s doors. Yup. Done. This happened last Friday so I’ve had time to ah, think?, it over.  Was a shocker, and right before Christmas really isn’t a good time. But then again, when is for such a thing.  That would be never.

Sigh.  I tell ya. Anyway, he is interviewing at a place that called him to come in before, and in between, he’ll be self employed.  By rights I should be freaking out, but I’m not. Do not know why.  Maybe there comes a time when you’ve had so much, you just stop worrying?  Freaking? Being shocked?  I don’t know. But I do know we’ll be okay. 

I’ve been busy, like everyone, preparing for Christmas. Getting gifts packaged and mailed and etc.  I always end up with a mountain to wrap at once. I could be organized and wrap a few at a time. But that goes against my nature, and thus never gets done. *L*  Oh well.

*yawn* Grandma’s getting tired and tomorrow’s another full day of babysitting-I’ll need to be awake for that. Heh.  So I’d best go see if these made it on screen and then hit the hay. 

Have a great night.  Ta for now.
