The last couple of weeks.

In the Haslem household, we've been slightly off-kilter.

Things are normal but not normal. 

"Uhhh...what? That doesn't make sense, Sarah."

What I mean is that we do the same things but our attitude just isn't as good as it usually is. 

I have the opinion that we make our own choice for how we feel and what kind of attitude we have

and so as of right now I am demanding that we stop, enjoy life and have a little more chocolate milk. 

And that's just what Stephen decided to do for breakfast this morning. 

And do you know what one week from tomorrow is?


Yes, it's our twelve year anniversary. 

And as you can tell, we are super excited....

Last year I was super depressed.

We had just made another move and I hadn't quite adjusted yet. 

I think it took until about 3 months ago for me to fully adjust. 

But I am not going to be depressed this year. 

It's been twelve amazing years. 

And that is something incredible to celebrate.

How was Zookeeper? I love Kevin James movies but not a huge fan of talking animal movies...but it looked like one my kids would probably like!

I totally agree with you on the we choose our own attitude thing! I preach that to my young women all the time and will be preaching that to my kids as well!

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...
