December Nights

Poppy & the girls. Choir concert, band holiday show. She still believes...

3 questions to ask daily.

My friend Jessica Dennis posted this on Facebook tonight. I think I'll try to adopt it with the kids, starting with me. Daily questions to ask:

1. Be kind to others? How? 

I tied lots of shoes today. 

2. Work hard? What? Christmas program nearly killed me this year! 

3. Love yourself? How?  Taking tomorrow off to spend it with Teddy. Priceless...

Give thanks.

For those who are in our lives, for food, shelter, clothing, and vacuum cleaners. We give thanks! 

Hair cuts & getting taller.

He's taller than me, now, but he's still my baby boy! 

Little Indian

Oh, the days of Indian headdresses and paper bag vests. Funny face, he's the third one to pick Indian instead of Pilgrim. Guess which one was the Pilgram? Emma, of course! 

That look!

She can tell all with just one look! Day off, Veterans Day in the books for 2015. Two more work days until payday! 

One day it will be over.

These two photo bombers! 

Now that she's in high school, I want to make every game. I don't want to miss a moment of her smiles to the crowd, sparkle hands, and her determination, even though I know she's tired and her arm hurts. She's my inspiration. 

Mommy daughter moments.

Shoe shopping, always a hard event, but then we had a parade to be in! 

Emma Delima

She's always her own conductor. Never conforming to what the others are doing. Quiet, but she's strong willed! Truly, she's my Emma Delima. 

It's not everyday.

This girl is so beautiful. I'm extremely proud of her and her work ethic. They placed 7th in the state. I get to be her mom everyday. 

It's not everyday that my team makes the bronze place in the division 2 champs! Glad to be part of something awesome. Maybe I'll be on the top team next year, but if not, that's ok, too.
