Breaking News

Tonight at approximately 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, Emily Haslem prepared a delicious meal of Bean Soup and Corn Bread. After tasting this delectable dish, Stephen Haslem declared it "BRILLIANT", causing both his mom and dad to laugh in wonder at his ....... brilliance. 


********************************

The Haslem kids got off lucky tonight since neither their mother or father were watching the time very closely and did not put the kids to bed until past nine o'clock. The nightly ritual of reading before bed was forfeited. And only one little rascal complained of not being able to sleep. A quick "try your hardest" called out (not technically yelled) was the key to finally drifting off to dreamland. 

***********************************

While enjoying and/or watching "Back To the Future II", Trevor Haslem fell quickly asleep proving to be both prophetic and exhausted, the latter having been mentioned earlier in the evening. Since there was no one conscious enough to snuggle with, Sarah got lost in her "beauty book" and got back to her roots by giving herself a good facial with a sugar scrub and steaming.

***************************************

 Annabelle Haslem, resident photographer, took a few minutes to capture some lasting images with her moms camera that she falsely imagines is part hers. 
Please enjoy some of her work from this evening. 




Come back again tomorrow night where you will hear all about how fabulous a day it will have been.
There will be no work for Trevor and no school for the children. 

The excitement is palpable.

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...
