Though watching this movie is not unusual, I think that Grace and I may be forced to watch it every Christmas Eve from now on.
I just got home from my academic advising appointment. I laughed, I cried, I almost hyperventilated, that's right folks I, Emily Ann White will be graduating NEXT semester -Spring 2010! Just 4 more classes and I am DONE!!! The party that will follow will be GREAT!
Grace woke up yesterday morning looking like this... I laughed and laughed. I'm so glad she keeps me entertained even when we can both hardly open our eyes.
I keep thinking that this will be my last post from the park for a while but there is still no snow on the ground, supposedly we will be getting snow this weekend, that should stick but until then we are going to try to hit the park as often as we can.
Dorothy had a wonderful time frolicking through the fall leaves with Toto.
On the look out for a Twister.
These are hands that have been through a lot in the last few years. Electrocution, then slicing through the palm and wrists, skin graphs and physical therapy and now here they are holding two little hands
This is Ben Crosby Woods.
<--------- Now I don't think this is what Grace did but the results are pretty much the same.
Suzanne Barker ~one of my favorite people in the whole world, who was also one of the greatest "sitter's" of all time~ has given me my FIRST (I say first in hopes of day receiving more, not only here but also @ Not Quite Over the Rainbow.) Blogging award. I'm so HAPPY to get one... seriously ECSTATIC!!!
Well Grace is 19 months and 12 days old today... Yes, we went to the doctor today so their fancy computer told me how old she is... because we all know I do not keep track of such things. They asked me when her birthday was and I had to pause for a moment to think, I instantly could rattle off my own but I actually had to stop and think about when her's was.
Well, a mere 19 months later Grace is 30 pounds and 35.5 inches tall! That's nearly 3 FEET!!! She is in the 96% for weight and 99% for height. Her well baby/child check was today and Dr. Firth told us that she is as big as most 28 month olds! ("No need to worry she is very nicely proportioned," he added quickly.) She passed her check up with flying colors and she even survived getting 6 SHOTS 5 vaccines and the dreaded flu shot ~Anna and I got them too!~ She had big tears but as soon as they pulled out the suckers she was fine again.
(This little horse has been in the family since Jared was a baby {The horse is known as John Wayne's horse}... I felt that getting a picture of Grace on it was a MUST funny thing was... she pulled it out, dragged it outside and as soon as we got down to the sidewalk she started saying, "Mommy, cheese!")
Peaches! These are awesome! We worked for several hours washing, peeling, cutting and freezing the peaches. They are divine! I haven't had peaches this awesome for a LONG time... Grace and I will be enjoying ourselves for a long while. We'll just have to keep stealing them out of mom's freezer!
The butterflies took over as he came out the back light casting his shadow on the black curtain a few strains of the electric guitar and BAM the curtain dropped and we Hit The Ground Running there he was in all his magnificent glory. The years between didn't matter anymore because Days Go By and all though we can't stop them from flying by we can take it in our own stride. Nothing mattered anymore the Stupid Boy that had recently broken my heart disappeared and Keith was there to meet me Where The Blacktop Ends to remind me that my Better Half is still out there and when I find him it will be that Once In A Lifetime Love that will be worth Making Memories of Us. And Keith reminded me that it will be lovely and thanked me for being such a lovely fan because he knew that "Only You Could Love Me This Way." The Sweet Thing about this concert was that it reminded me that When Summer Comes Around I can pray that its Raining On Sunday.
You Look Good In My Shirt I screamed because you know I would look very good in his shirt. He he He. I knew that Keith was singing Somebody Like You to me! The concert was beginning to wrap up and although I knew our time together was soon to come to an end I felt like Tonight I Wanna Cry! The concert did in fact come to an end but I felt like I had finally found the Better Life I had been looking for and funny thing, it had never left!
Now seriously folks. The concert was Amazing!!! Keith was at the top of his game and he did a wonderful job of making EVERYONE feel as if he was singing just to them. His guitar skills were insanely sharp and the guitars themselves were BEAUTIFUL, the usual Fender he plays but there was a Green Gibson and the Shattered Mirror Gibson he plays was gorgeous! He also had one that LIT UP!!! He is up for CMA Entertainer of the Year and this Fan thinks he definitely deserves it he is a GREAT showman!
