Kitty Faces!

This is how I found Tatum's face today when I picked her up at "school". Of course, all the other kiddos had kitty faces, too.


So I had to take her picture --- only she tries to help way too much. Here is the next picture of her saying "cheese". Hope you have a great weekend!

Sweet, strong-willed girl!

Finally found a time to catch up for a minute. By the way, this photo was taken on my Blackberry in Wal-Mart today. This Valentine's bear was bigger than Tatum but she had to go see it. I can't post without a picture! Anyway, this was our final stop today. We slept about an hour later than usual for Sundays and decided to go to "late church". By the time we were out, ate lunch, and ran a couple of errands in town, the day was over. I've been running since we got home to get the laundry done for the week!! Anyway, we are much better at "early church" and I'm sure we'll stick with that plan.

This week has been good at work. Lots of itsy bitsy babies in the NICU and fun kiddos at the clinic. I had the chance to spend a bit of time with my friends from my previous job to celebrate a birthday. I miss them and it was fun to spend a bit of time with them without the stress! I'm having to re-learn what it's like to relax. So sad, but a good goal for year 31!!

Anyway, this is the first "normal" weekend I can remember in a very long time. Between working all the time, working a second job, and being on the go throughout the year last year, this weekend was nice. I spent all day yesterday cleaning and having a "food stand-off" with Tatum. After two hours of sitting at the dining room table, she opted for other punishment and had to stick it out without snacks 'til dinner. She made it and ate every bite of her dinner, including the veggies!

So, where was Troy in all this fun? Team Sorting, of course. He did really well yesterday and it was probably a good thing he was not in the house to butt heads with Tatum. Anyway, I'm proud of him! He won 2nd and 3rd place in the 9's and was the top money winner in the amateur class. That means he won money AND a buckle.

This week should be fun as Tatum and I start Mommy and Me gymnastics on Friday. Good times with a 2 year old! May you have a blessed and happy week!

Time to Blog with a Crooked Picture


Here I am again! Troy asked me "how long has it been since you blogged?" He is keeping up with me! Anyway, I can't seem to blog without a picture, so I found this from the CD Teresa shared with me for Christmas. I didn't take the time to change things around but I still think this girl is PRECIOUS!
It's been a great week. I started my new job at BSA on Monday and have been running to keep up. I'm helping to establish a Pediatric Therapy program and that is AWESOME. I'll spend time at the hospital in the morning in NICU and PICU and Pediatrics. In the afternoon, I'll be at the clinic treating kiddos. Lots of new things but a whole lot LESS stress!
Hope you are all doing well. It's nice to just be calm a bit and I wish you all the same!
