I love the snow! I think it is one of God's most beautiful creations. It is really hard for me to listen to others complain about the snow. In my mind, I am thinking, just relax and take the time to enjoy such special times with your family. I have decided to be really aware of my opinions about the weather cause we need to live in the now and not wish away every season that we are given away. Be satisfied, we are so blessed.
A great teacher likes the kid that is difficult, challenging, orjust down right trouble. A great teacher looks at this situation as an opportunity to help out a child, to make a difference. It is easy to be a great teacher when you have a cookie-cutter kid.
Beginnings are usually scary, endings are usually sad. It is what happens in the middle that counts the most. I have to constantly remind myself of this, I want to live each day to the fullest cause that is what counts the most.
Stop looking ahead at things to come, cause then the days pass away and you have forgotten to enjoy the present day!

New Things...
This past week, Sawyer went to his first Tiny Tigers Tae Kwon Do(sp?). At the beginning of the class I had to stand with him and about 15 other children and kick, but by the end of the class he didn't need me anymore. I'll have to take the camera this week and capture the excitement!
See pics below of Sawyer's first sleepover with a friend!
The funniest thing about the whole sleepover experience was the fact that Sawyer and Jake insisted on riding the John Deere Gator to Jake's house on Monday morning. So, Sawyer helped Jake load up his backpack, sword and gun and headed to Jake's front door. It was too cute!

Ready for bed,watching Toy Story
Last night, Sawyer had his first sleepover with our neighbor Jake. They played with swords, guns, football players, watched Narnia and Toy Story, ate popcorn and had a blast! Sawyer was out of control with excitement. They actually both slept on the pallete Michael made all night long.

Best Friends...
I didn't realize how early Scout and Sawyer would become best friends. They love each other so much. She watches Sawyer's every move and he loves to hold her in his arms. They are so sweet together.
Sweet Scout...
Today, Lily Scout got her 2 month shots. She was not a happy camper, but seems to be doing really well despite the three boo-boos on her legs.
She has started smiling and talking lots. We love her little personality!
Best Days of My Life...
I can honestly say, I have had the best days of my life since Nov.17th, 2009. I am so thankful for:
1. Lily Scout
2. Getting to spend time with Sawyer and Michael (Christmas break, snowdays)
3. Playing in the snow
4. Having time to cook
5. Working out
6. Cleaning house
7. Taking on projects around the house (like wine rack, cabinets, and living room table)
8. Just feeling like I'm living my purpose in life, to love Jesus and take care of my family!
I am so thankful!
