Daddy Dressed Me Today

The T-shirt is fitting- it reads "If I Don't Match It's Because Daddy Dressed Me"

So what's wrong with this outfit you ask? (Pay close attention to the shoes)

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a great time to sit back and enjoy one of my favorite things! TURKEY! It is also a great time to reflect on a few of the things I am most grateful for. And my boys would be at the top of that list! But we are also quite grateful for the rain that we are getting. It rained buckets today! And since we haven't had rain in a long time, it is definitely a blessing!

Do the Hokey Pokey..

Happy Birthday Lorina!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Aunt Rina!
Happy Birthday to you.

We Love you tons.
Have a great day! You only turn 40 once so live it up!

Christmas on its way

My Christmas lights are up!! And not just mine- my Mom and sisters too! And yes I realize that it is not even Thanksgiving yet. But it was a gorgeous day today and I just knew if I did not take advantage of it, the next time I had time to do it, the temperature would have changed and it would be freezing out. So I pulled them out of the attic this morning and put them up in what I consider record time. (A few years ago we discovered light hooks that make the job a much quicker endeavor-no more nails or staples!!)

Justin hates putting the lights up. Well, I think he more hates the whole height thing but the two seem to get melded together in his head! And since Rachel and my Mom were at the girls soccer game I was on my own. But like I said it was a quick process. Lincoln wasn't too happy with the whole Mom on the roof thing but luckily Justin was able to keep him semi-entertained while I got the job done. I am just excited to know they are up. And in case anyone is wondering they are not on, just up!

One Done and More to Come

Well, Justin has been back to work for a week now. And to put it mildly it is kicking his behind! He has not had to work this hard in a long time. He used to work hard labor every day when he installed windows, but he has gotten out of the habit over these past few years. But he is surviving and we are grateful for the blessing this job promises to be. We were a little scared there for a little while thinking that after all the time they spent training him, they would lay him off again. But luckily they just moved him to a different part of the warehouse. Instead of staying in the preloader area he is now working the irregs.
The irregs is where the irregular packages that can not go on the conveyor belt end up. They have to be sorted by hand and then moved to the appropriate trucks for loading. So Justin is now a part of that team. He likes it much better than preloading but he says it is still a lot of work. And he is hopeful that perhaps this job might get him back on the wagon in terms of losing weight. If that happens it will be another blessing for both of us!
