Doug set me up a Facebook page when we got our new computer on January 2nd. I didn't really think I needed one but now I love it! I've been able to get in touch with so many friends from high school and I'm having a great time catching up with them. It's fun to see where life has taken my good friends as well as those that I wasn't friends with. Now it seems that whatever group we were in back then doesn't even matter now. Amazing how time changes people...I guess we all grow up huh?
On this day I'd had my page for almost 2 weeks and hadn't posted any pictures other than my one profile picture that Doug had put on it. I finally took a few minutes to put some pictures of our family up for all to see...well, at least for all my Facebook friends to see.
DAY 13 - January 13, 2009
Kaleb's recorder! He was SO EXCITED to get this from school today. He'd talked about it for at least a week. He is in 4th grade and will be playing this for the next few months in music class. The entire grade gets these so they can begin to learn to read music. They are to practice each day a minimum of 15 minutes. At the end of 4th grade the kids get to choose whether or not they join the band or the orchestra in 5th grade. If so, then they have to decide which instrument they would like to play. Kaleb wants to join one of those groups but has yet to decide which one and which instrument. Only time will tell.
DAY 12 - January 12, 2009
A typical Monday morning. Both boys have been doing good eating something other than Pop Tarts or Toaster Strudels for breakfast. These days they've gotten into having a hard boiled egg, a pancake or waffle, and maybe some fruit.
DAY 11 - January 11, 2009
Oh, Karate Kid! What a great movie. I remember that this was the 1st movie I ever went to without parents. My mom had dropped Stacey Baker and I off at the theater and her mom picked us up. We thought we were so grown up! Well...enough about me! We rented this movie a few months back and I promised the kids they'd like it. What do you know? I was right! They loved it! When Kaden had some extra money left from a Christmas gift that had to be returned, he chose this one along with Short Circuit (another 80's classic!). They were on sale for 2 for $9...can't beat that! We put the movie in that night and relaxed together. Doug and I got a kick out of the songs in that movie...not to mention the clothes and hairstyles.
DAY 10 - January 10, 2009
We went to the Prior's house for some pizza, a football playoff game (not our Colts though..they'd lost to San Diego the previous weekend. A week later Coach Tony Dungy had retired), and some catching up. They have 2 boys and all 4 boys played together very well and had a blast. Colin, the oldest, drug out the chess board and challenged Doug to a game. Doug hadn't played in years and was up for it. It quickly became a game between Jim and Doug as Colin lost interest. I think Doug really enjoyed that. Lord knows I don't know how to play chess!
DAY 9 - January 9, 2009
Man, was it cold this day! The sky was pretty clear and I happened to catch a glimpse of the sunset during our evening routine. I stopped for a moment, grabbed the camera, ran out to the front porch and snapped the picture. I had to "aim high" because the stop sign at the corner would have dominated the entire picture if I hadn't. January 6, 2009
DAY 8 - January 8, 2009
I LOVE my Tink coffee mug. This particular day the coffee tasted especially good. I'm not sure why because I think I make it the same every time. Just had to get a quick shot of it. A little bit of coffee with my cream and sweetener (that's how I like it) is my morning routine these days.
DAY 7 - January 7, 2009
A usual stop around this time. Doug had surgery on his elbow in December for an on-duty injury and is still on meds for pain and swelling. I made a quick stop while waiting for the boys to be done with their Wrestling practice.
DAY 6 - January 6, 2009
Well, we started our family resolution to eat better this year yesterday and quickly realized we needed some things from the grocery. We took a trip to Meijer to pick up some fruits and vegetables that everyone wanted. Here are the check-out lanes on this night...Kaleb took the picture this time around.
