I can't believe January is almost gone! I feel like I blinked and it disappeared. Every weekend its been something. Last weekend was fun. My BIL and SIL made it official and got married on Sunday. A nice private ceremony and dinner afterwards at our family's favorite restaurant. Somehow the bride and groom were sat next to the kids (Miss K, Miss A, and Miss B) while the parents sat down the way other end. How sad is it that the children were better behaved then the parents. They sat down and colored and played nicely together. We on the other hand, were loud, VERY LOUD. We had so many laughs though. It was a great day and I'm so happy that R is now officially my SIL!!
This weekend H and I have a date! Miss K is sleeping over Mrs. D and Miss J's house on Saturday night. H made reservations for us at the new Melting Pot that opened up. I can't wait! I LOVE FONDUE! We haven't been out as just H & S in a while. (Usually its Miss K's Mom and Dad.) Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter to the ends of the earth but its nice to just worry about what I'm eating and not what she wants, did she eat, how much did she eat, etc.
Miss K is doing really well at "reading". When she tries, she does even better. I can tell you I now know why I am not a teacher! Can you say NO PATIENCE! But I am very impressed with her. Her writing has improved by leaps and bounds since September and her coloring is almost better then mine. LOL She is still loving school.
And just wanted to say Congrats to the Big Blue for making the Super Bowl. You made my hubby one happy man. (Sorry to all the Packer and Cowboys fans out there!) Now if they can just take down those darn Patriots!!

Its been a while
WOW, the holidays sure kept us running!! December is a blur. But we had a wonderful time during the holidays. H and I were off from work for 11 days with Miss K. Although I got a stomach bug the Sunday before Christmas and then had a really bad time with my asthma the few days after Christmas, it was great. We re-organized Miss K's room, bought a bin organizer for her closet, and organized our room a bit more. We spent time with family and friends and spent a lot of time playing games. I bought Miss K Trouble for Christmas as that was my all time favorite game as a kid. We've played at least one or two games every day since Christmas I think. (And H and I have actually played a few games while Miss K has been sleeping LOL!)
We spent Christmas Eve with H's family, Christmas Day with mine. It is so nice to see everyone and Miss K had a BALL with everyone and loved all her gifts. New Year's Eve is a big family night for H's family, so we spent it at his Aunt's house. Miss K made it until about 2 am before she looked at me with these sad eyes and said Mommy I want to go home! We spent New Year's Day at home, playing games and getting take out!
Had to go back to school and work last week. Miss K couldn't wait to go back. I hope she keeps this love for school past Kindergarten! I, on the other hand, would have been perfectly happy to win the lotto during my time off and not have to go back to work but alas that did not happen.
Oh and that second loose bottom tooth finally fell out of her mouth. So the tooth fairy and Santa came a night apart!
Hopefully life will calm down a bit for us so maybe I can get better at this bloggin thingy!
Hope 2008 is a great year for all of us!

Bye Bye Baby Tooth
Well Miss K lost her first baby tooth today. She's had her two bottom ones loose since Halloween and the new teeth are already out but the first one FINALLY fell out!!!
She was brushing her teeth this morning and ran in to show me the tooth she spit out with her toothpaste. Here's a picture but its hard to tell because her permanent tooth has already grown in so much!
The tooth fairy came tonight and she'll be happy to see a $5 bill and a gold dollar coin. (This won't be a habit with all her teeth mind you, only the first one.) Her dentist gave us two gold dollar coins, one for each tooth that was loose and I've been carrying them around since Halloween!

Hello!
Well its been a bit crazy since coming back from vacation!!! Dad went to the ER on the 1st for falling off the roof while cleaning the gutters, Miss K had yet another bout of pneumonia, and Mom had oral surgery!
After almost a week of nebulizer treatments and visits to the dr Miss K is finally feeling better and went back to school today. She was so happy to be back. Poor kid really missed her class.
I forgot to mention Miss K was the student of the month for October! We are very, very proud of her. I got a magnet type bumper thing that says My child was Student of the Month . . . . She loves seeing it on my truck.
Miss K had her first bit of Christmas this weekend at my girlfriends holiday get together. This year it was at Mrs.T's house. Very yummy dinner and great company. And of course Miss K, Miss J, and Miss J were spoiled!!
Only 14 days until Christmas! I can't believe it. We're about 3/4 done with our shopping. Hopefully will finish this weekend!!
Ho ho ho, hope everyone is having a great Christmas season!

Home from Vacation
We got home today from Orlando. We had a great week thanks to Mom and Dad!!! We spent the beginning of the week visiting Mickey and Disney and Shamu and Sea World then the rest of the week catching up with family and friends. Its nice to be home and Mr. O really missed us but was well cared for while we were gone.
The weather was perfect 70-80 with no humidity. We surprised Miss K with lunch in Cinderella's Castle with the princesses. It was great. H & I were pleasantly surprised with how good the food actually was. K got to see Mary Poppins, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Jasmine and of course was greeted by Cinderella. We loved it.
Back to work on Monday but only 4 weeks and we're off for the holidays!!!

Thursday Thirteen
Saw this on two other blogs that I read and I loved the idea, so here is mine:
Thirteen songs that bring memories rushing to my head:
1. Beautiful in My Eyes – Our wedding song. Ten years later and I still stop when I hear it.
2. Good Life by Inner Circle – this song was playing when H asked me to dance at the club we met at when we were 18.
3. I Will Remember You – Reminds me of my sister who passed away when I was a little girl. It always seems to play on the radio when I really need her.
4. Breakaway – Reminds me of my cousin who was taken from us. She could have written almost every word of this song.
5. & 6. Angel & There You’ll Be – I have a lot of songs that remind me of my lost loved ones. These are two of my favorites.
7. I Hope You Dance – I sang this to K all the time as a baby. I still sing it to her and this is my hope for her as she grows.
8. The whole Open Up and Say AHHH album by Poison – Summer of 1988, cruising down by the water in my friend DW’s new Honda CRX that she got for graduation. Had to make sure the right song was blasting from the radio as we drove through the town.
9. When I Hear Music by Shannon or any TKA song – going dancing with my BFF’s Mrs. D and Mrs. T. Ladies Night on Wednesdays and freezing our butts off waiting in line without a coat because we didn’t want to waste our money on checking it in!
10. We Are Family – obviously it makes me think of my family. I can picture all my Aunts dancing to this song at weddings. And both H and my family dancing to it at our wedding. Being crushed by his cousin’s in a giant hug.
11. Parents Just Don’t Understand – I can still picture DW and I rapping it out in my backyard while my Grandparents who were in town visiting watched in horror.
12. Any Three Dog Night song – reminds me of my parents playing that album, yes a record, 33 to be exact – on their kickin’ turntable, radio combination in the dining room.
13. Here Comes Ellie – the made up song my Uncle P used to sing to my cousin while pretending this stuffed elephant was singing. My family sung this to him for years. Actually still comes up in conversation whenever we’re picking on him.
