A New Laundry Helper

Whitney and Demon were busy folding socks today.

What I Learned in 6th Grade Today...

I love volunteering in my daughter's classroom, as well as having the opportunity to visit other teachers' classrooms.  Today I was introduced to an album by the artist of Jackie Evancho.  I learned she is 11 years old and has an amazing voice!  Thank you, 6th graders, for teaching me about your music interests.

A New Interest

My Little Reader

An Exciting New Camera

I am excited to see what new photos I can capture with this little jewel!

Pure Innocence

An Evening with Mom

Whitney is getting to be such a grown up young lady. We had a great time hanging out at the mall together waiting for Shelby to get off work.

"Morning" Dove

This morning was a beautiful clear day and we were treated with a little cooing from a mourning dove. These doves rarely perch in the trees, so this was also a unique sight. We miss the sounds of Jordann's doves, but not the mess!

The Bedtime Routine

Demon would love to crash in Whitney and Jordann's room every night. It's quite comical to see him jump from bed to bed until he gets kicked out!

Welcome to the Rainy Season

Wow! How many dogs do I own? This certainly looks like an entire dozen live at my house!

A Snow Day

Finally.....we have a little bit of snow for the snow dog. We accumulated just a few inches this year for the entire season. Hopefully, there will be more to come in the next few days.

Having a Great Day

Happy 20th Birthday, Shelby!!!

 Here's the sweet birthday girl!

 Her choice of dinner:  pulled pork & rustic potatoes au gratin

 A new trunk - planning for a move to her own place!

 Dessert:  Apple pie & toffee ice cream.....yum!

Hmmm.....is this all for me?!?!

A Pre-Birthday Treat for Shelby

A Little Bossiness

Demon really does not like to share "his" recliner with anyone!

The Other Half of the Calvin & Hobbes Duo

This little guy is such a sweetie! He also loves Whitney like crazy!

Just Dance

Crazy Cat

This is 1/2 of the most bizarre cat duo I have ever seen.  Here is Hobbes with Jordann - this cat actually loves hanging upside down!

Patiently Waiting for an Afternoon Walk

Photo Journal 2012

I have been inspired to revisit my blog and create a photo journal for 2012.  My goal for 2012 is to "simplify."  The picture for today is an image of my walk on a beautiful January day.  Instead of a typical cold, snowy season we are seeing temperatures into the 50s and lots of gorgeous sunshine!
