My Lovely Lily Kate

Was going through our photos

Saw these and had to share.

I love every part of her,

Those eyes, that smile, that hair!

Yes, yes, I know, she's mine,

So I'm biased as her mother...

But I'm convinced, as cuteness goes,

Her only equal is her brother!

Breaking Dawn: Part 2

I can be quite immature,

I need more common sense,

 There are days I should be locked alone,

When my hygiene's on the fence.

 Everyone knows things about themselves,

They really shouldn't share.

 I love the most those in my life,

Who know those and don't care.

 My husband thinks I've lost it,

Understand it, well, he can't.

 He thinks that Twilight's silly,

So good thing I have my AUNT!

 We've planned this time for MONTHS,

Made plans all neat and nice,

 Figured we'd do it right all round,

And so we saw it TWICE!

(A superlative weekend: the BEST movie ever, the best AUNT ever and the best mother who babysat while we spent the entire day at the movie theater. Yes my aunt made us custom Twilight pillows and we stayed up Friday night watching Breaking Dawn: Part 1 and hung posters all around.)

So sad it's over.

Proud

Yeah for Jonathan!!!

I want to happy-cry,

I want to shout aloud,

Our daddy ran his marathon!

Of him we are SO PROUD!!!

 He had some cute support,

Some signs and bells a-ringing.

 We can't stop giving him our hugs

And his praises singing.

 He was so fun to watch,

And cheer along the way.

 So thankful to all who shared with us,

This very special day.

We are thrilled he came thru healthy,

He's pretty sore on the whole.

But he smiled through the whole darn race

And even met his goal!

(Finished in 4 hours 31 minutes and 864 out of 3096 marathon runners.)

Happiest Halloween

Pinterest is like crack, with crafty things galore,

I can look at it for hours, left only wanting more.

 I saw these witches legs and thought, "those look super cute,"

So I went on the hunt to find the perfect witches boot. (Found at Michael's.)

Oh how these two do, set my heart to beating!

We had the mostest fun last night, while they were trick-or-treating. 

 My dragon and my knight, oh the fun they had,

Sashi came along dressed up, Here is Acey with my DAD!

Ace and Lily kept us laughing, as they went door to door,

Every time she got some candy, LK said, "I need one more!"

When she got her treats, my little dragon roared.

Ace said "Happy Halloween!" as he swung around his sword.

Before my kids, Halloween was never, a day I much adored,

I mean, who knew such joy could come from plastic shield and sword?

If you have angels in your house, you'll know just what I mean,

My favorite times are like last night, the Happiest Halloween.

Nothing much

Just enjoying our normal,

Nothing much new to report.

Our time is all spent growing up

with fun of every sort.

 Who knew that Lily Kate

would be so in to tea?

She orders all her guests around

and bosses them with glee.

 And Big Bro, well, he's hard at learning

From the home computer.

 While Lils snacks & supervises

From her fav'rite scooter.

 If they're too quiet, we start to worry

and search for trouble wrought.

Turns out the pantry's Lily's lair

and secret hiding spot!

Rainbows

Days come with things thrown in,

That make you gasp and say,

God's promised me so much

Yet it seems so far away.

 And in the midst of these,

I cling to what I know.

God's promises belong to me,

And in the sky they glow.

And though a rainbow we

Cannot touch although we try.

His grace and mercy hold me,

Til the trouble passes by.
