Getting Ready for Bed!



Tucker Bucks!



Tucker Bucks are still huge rewards for  Ansley and Mia.  Mia was counting hers to see if she had more than Ansley!

Poor Mia!

Mia was finally able to sit up this morning and even tried some grits!  She is so hungry,  but we are very careful about what she can eat!





We got the dreaded vomiting wake-up call at 3:30 am Friday morning.  Mia continued to be sick all weekend long.  She started smiling last evening and I have never been so relieved!  She is home again today from school.  This tummy bug has wiped her out!  I am so thankful for a husband that is so good with sick kids!  He is so patient.  When he took Ansley to her soccer game on Saturday,  Mia cried her eyes out, she wanted her daddy!   He stayed home this morning and I switched with him so he could go to work this afternoon.  

Anything to not be bored!




While S. and I have taken care of Mia, Ansley has been a huge help.  She has tried many activities to stay busy.  I think her favorite was the bubble bath!  I am praying that she somehow, escapes this virus!

Huge Blessing!

This may be the best picture I have ever taken!  Mia was saying the blessing before dinner, and I couldn't resist a photo!  She has her hands raised to God thanking him for our food, family and many blessings!  I'm so thankful for my precious blessings!

Sweet Girl!



Looking and Loving her Disney Book

This picture makes our entire Disney trip worth it!  Mia was looking at her book yesterday and she gave Cinderella a huge kiss!  Yep....even the memory of the large crowed and lines seem to be fading!





She took her book to show her teachers and friends all about her trip!

I need azure!







We came home right after school today.  I thought we had a soccer game, but it was canceled because it is freezing and raining! I am glad I don't have to sit outside in that.  The girls opted to draw as I posted pictures.  I overheard them asking for their colors in Spanish!  It is so cute!  

Awake at 5:00 A.M.



Mia awoke to a clap of thunder early this morning!  The good news is that she was able to have breakfast with daddy!  She loves to eat his Raisin Bran!

Before School....School!




The girls were so excited to see their teachers and friends yesterday!  They were up early and had enough time to play school before heading to school!  

The Joys of Being Home!

Home cooked meal and entertainment!  Look at  that concentration!

I am so thankful to be home and eating "real" food again!  I am not sure that our family has ever eaten at a restaurant for an entire week!  It is good to go to the fridge and plan a meal!

S. was showing off his pizza making skills on Sat.  I laughed so hard!

A Wonderful Week Away

We have arrived back home from our week at Disney!  What great memories we created.  It was probably the most planned vacation we have ever taken, aka not very relaxing, but so fun!  I read two books before leaving, got tons on insider tips, and my mind was constantly planning our next move.  We saw and did everything on our "MUST DO LIST".  We enjoyed Magic Kingdom at night the most, because there was no wait in the lines.  We closed the park two nights getting girls tucked in at 1:30 a.m.  Those of you that know us well, know this was a first!   We left our last night with the girls giving Belle, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty one last hug at Midnight!  Although, S. and I feel like we need a week to recoup we had a great time and are still smiling at all the fun! What a great trip! 

A Whole New World!



Mia wanted to be Cinderella this morning!  This princess has a whole new meaning for this little girl!  She is living the magic!  Memories that will last a lifetime!

Trip Over!

100,000 miles on these little shoes!  

Packed up with lots of treasure!


After a week of non-stop fun, we were all still smiling!  What a great week of memories created!
