Mental Images...

I didn't take any pictures today but there are images in my mind that I will never forget. Well, I'm at least writing it down so I don't forget:

Annabelle walking with a purpose, with the MP3 player pressed to her ear, pretending it was a phone. She just looked grown up.

Stephen having a freak-out (rightfully so) while a dog jumped up on him and did the doggie dance. It was scary then, funny now. Either way, I won't EVER forget it (i don't think he will either). And the dog was HUGE!

Emily leaning on me as she said goodbye to her friend. I almost thought she was 4 years old again.

Looking back in the truck to Joshua. His eyes were big and brown and so innocent. Every time I looked back in 30 seconds time, he would look at me. I just love his eyes..... 

I need to get my camera out more but I never get the images I want to have the most. I need to have a hidden camera somewhere so the kids won't notice it and do the auto-smile.....
But
It was a pretty good day.

Those kind of mental pictures are the best. They are personal, can't be lost, destroyed,nor stolen.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
