Monkey

He can do the monkey bars all by himself now!!! He's so proud of himself!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The "Valentine's Fairy" visited our house last night and left some fun surprises for Christian. Some art supplies -- Color Wonder paper and markers, some paints and his very own stapler!!! He was very excited about that! And chocolate -- M&Ms, yummy!

He also got quite possibly the world's biggest Valentine's balloon! Happy Heart Day to everyone!

I Got Tagged

I got tagged me for a meme a while back so better late than never.
Here is how it works: Post two wish lists: 5 material wishes and 5 spiritual or more meaningful wishes. Invite five other bloggers to play along.

5 Material Wishes
1. Definitely professional landscaping that includes a new front sidewalk and driveway (is that considered two wishes?)
2. An addition on our house that includes a family room with lots of storage and a master bedroom suite with a full bath and walk-in closets.
3. A full week of vacation alone with my husband somewhere romantic!
4. To complete all the renovations needed at our beach place with an unlimited budget!
5.Buy/build my mother a new house of her choosing in Michigan.

5 Meaningful Wishes
1. Spend one more day with my Dad so I could talk to him about all the things I wish I had before we lost him and introduce him to Christian.
2. Visit my family in Michigan more often.
3. Find the time to get more exercise and be in better shape.
4. To be good mom to Christian so he grows up to be a happy, kind, compassionate and confident person.
5. To be a better wife/partner to Shane and cherish our relationship.

Since I don't know 5 other bloggers who haven't already been tagged I'll tag the only blogger I know who we haven't yet heard from -- Ruhiyyih!
