The Head Honcho Goes Over the Hill

Yep, it's true. My darling has taken one giant step closer to kicking the bucket- he turned 30 this week! Patrick been to a lot of different places and done a lot of things. He is a great father and he has worked so hard and put up with a lot to support his family and I am so grateful for him! Not to mention the fact that he has a great sense of humor, is very friendly, and willing to do anything I ask of him! I love you, Snookums, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

First Day of Snow!

When I say "first" I REALLY mean first! Our children haven't really experienced snow since we've been living in lovely snow-free environments these past six years. The most snow we got was in VA- a light sugar-coating that melted two seconds after the sun came out! So, it was really exciting to see a wonderful fluffy blanket of snow this morning when we woke up!
Of course, it was mostly melted by the evening but we did manage to get this one photo for your viewing enjoyment- Oh, and the picture may be posed but those poor little cherubs all got hit with snowballs after the camera stopped rolling, beastly father!

These days you never know what your kids are going to do when you're not paying attention. My kids make video blogs.
