Buddy and Bo.....

Gracie and Daisy......

We just got back from a family work missions trip in Georgia. We left the day after Christmas and just got back. Whew! It was awesome, but I'm zonked.

I'm so thankful to read that many of you had lovely time celebrating Christmas. Ours was quite nice as well.

I love our new dawgs.

Did I tell you that Daisy and Bo are brother and sister?

Did I tell you that dawgs....ahem...errrrr.....ummmm....that a brother dawg can....ummmm...how do I say this?

BO COULD GET DAISY PREGNANT????

I mean it.

Deaner told me that today, and he doesn't lie about this stuff.

Oh, we didn't name the dogs.

The previous owner named 'em after the Dukes of Hazard.

I really love our new pets.

can you keep a secret?

We're getting the kiddos these 2 dawgs for Christmas. They are a dachshund/jack terrier mix - 8 months old - brother and sister. Deano is so excited. He has been wanting a dog for years.

Just had to tell some one.

Happy Anniversary, Baby! I got you on my mi-ind!

Today is one of my favorite days. Yup, it's the day I celebrate the day I married my babies' daddy, Dean Dean the butterbean. Other than the One who saved me from sin and Hell - Dean is my best friend. He makes me feel pretty and smart. He laughs at my jokes. He trusts me with my kiddos. He loves me like no other. The only time I really gross him out is when I brush my teeth, and trust me....I really am grody to the max when I brush my teeth.

For him...I have learned to cook and clean. I have started wiping my feet before I get in bed. I have put his jeans on hangers. I keep the living room clean. I would do anything to make him smile and feel less stressed out.

He mops and sweeps for me, and when the dishes start to overwhelm me....he washes them for me.

He shaved my legs for me when I was hugely pregnant.

He held my mother when she was overwhelmed with grief as she watched her father die. He brought my grandmother food when PaPa was ill. He loves my family, and it makes me smile.

I love that he has an excellent work ethic. I love - absolutely love - to hear him laugh. I love the way he holds both the kiddos in his arms after work and watches tv with them.

He gives the kids baths every night. It started when Andrew was an infant. I was a nervous momma, and cried at the thought of hurting him. He has continued the evening ritual since that night. He also dries and brushes Gracie's hair every night. Hey! I lay out the PJ's and get 'em dressed....

He loves this blobbidy blobbish awkward and goofy girl, and I just don't get it.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me a hottie and not a dork!

The Lord is gracious and knows me so well.

I could go on and on and on.....
