Happy New year to everyone....

Lots of pics to post, so hope you can all bare with me.... First off wanted to post the lyout for the 10th shabby Chic layout class.... e-mail me or phone the Scrapyard to get the picture size.

This may bore you all but had to post some of my family! and yes Rob does have a very black eye but I still think he is hot anyways so does it really matter? and no he didn't get in a fight althouh I think the boys thought that would make a way better story! lol he had a litle accident with a hockey puck, you otta love that game!
Cody, Manda and Kade.... so glad that the little peanut is out of the hospital and doing so well!
the latest of all the kids, it was so cold and we were trying to get this done really fast!

Reflections.....
so unbelievable that I am sitting writing this on yet another New Years eve.... and again I am reflecting over the past year going "where did the last year go?" I am not sure if it is because I am getting older or if it is really just flying by for all of us.....whatever the reason is i am just thinking back, refelecting over the last year and thinkin about all the little moments.... where i am at this point in my life, where my children are at there different stages, did I do everythin that I should have this year? Did I teach my children all the things that I should have? Should I have done things differently? while I know that I am sure I didn't do everything the way that I should have, I do know that i am Blessed beyond Measure.... I know already that this New year will be flying fast just like the last one and I know that there will be many, many changes for all of us.... I want to embrace this new year with thankfulness for where I am today....
Happy New Year to each and everyone of you that read my blog! I hope you all have a fabulous year ahead!
and because I don't like to post without a picture here is the latest one of our sweet little healthy peanut!

Hugs,

Lynn

I'm done.... I think!
well i think i am done my shopping! Yay..... other than my groceries! Now I just have to wrap presents! I knew I should have started way back in October! Oh well had lots of fun!
And this sweet boy is home for Christmas..... he is such alittle trooper! He will be on antibiotics for awhile but it is so sweet to see him up and around, playing with his toys and so happy! Everytime you look at him and smile he just lights up and smiles right back! So adorable!

The little peanut had his first haircut today so will post those pics soon! He screamed his head off! So sweet!!!!! It really was sweet! There was someone in there that didn't seem very happy with her three little munchkins and I know we all have our days but really in the big picture try to look at your life without them.....as she was filling us in on her life and how hard three children were I just smiled and thought to myself I am so HAPPY to have my five children and one grandson.... and how grateful I am that everyone is healthy now..... there are so many kids in the Childrens hospital over Christmas that it really breaks your heart....one girl said to Manda on the day that they were discharged "ohhhhhh you get to go home for Christmas?????!!!!!"""" Feel so bad for them! I know that for all of those people the best gift ever.... would be to take their children home. We are truly blessed.....
Merry Christmas everyone and all the best in 2010

What a difference a day makes.....
Our little peanut is still in the hospital..... but everyday he just seems so much more like himself! Today especially he decided that it was ok to throw the toys on the floor and to try and look over the bars of the crib! How exciting is that! Quite a thing when that makes us so happy! His chest xray today isn't GREAT but they are still hoping to take the chest tube out tomorrow so here is hoping! Life is still busy, trying to get in the Christmas sprit and do a little bit of decorating around the house, I went and got some l fresh garland for my windows the other day and have to get it put up! Hope to do that tonight! Still have quite a bit of shopping to get done but I will just get it all done in a day or two.... for those of you that know me well you all know that I work way better under pressure! Have a great week everyone!

Life.....

It amazes me how things can change so fast! Our little pumpkin is in the Childrens hospital as I write this waiting on a second surgery to clean out his tiny little lung...... 2 weeks ago he ended up with a cold and flu...... the next thing we know he is in the hospital with pneumonia...

One positive thing is he is little fighter and I know that he will be fine but it is so hard when you are really helpless..... you want to do what you can but there is nothin to do but wait.....


This layout is #10 in the series..... picture size is 4 by 6......
Stay warm everyone and I will try to post again and let you all know how our little man is doing....

Lynn

This is so not perfect.....

K.... it is perfect to me......
if I was worried about this picture being totally correct..... correct exposure, correct lighting..... correct focus, so on and so on......i totally blew it..... but I LOVE it! It works for me! I have been so caught up lately with getting perfect picture that I have been forgetting about the everyday moments.... the little things that matter..... Kade giving his momma a little smoochey.... gotta love it! He is such a little sweetie his little personality.... I love it.....so if you are taking photos and think oh that one so did not work think again it is probably that picture perfect moment..... keep it, use it...... life is keeping me so busy Rob and Sharla have been busy getting my house in order, painting rooms and all the trim in the house, changing it from the beautiful oak to even more beautiful white.... can't wait until it is all done! I am teaching twice a week at the scrapyard which is totally keeping me out of trouble....so busy....but its all good!
