These were very fun interviews. It would be fun to do the same questions in another few years.

I have a journal for each of my girls. I started it when they were born. C and I will right in the journal every once in a while. Maybe when something special happens or just because.  I think I'm going to print these interviews and put them in the journals. I'll give them the journals at some point when they are adults.

Big Sister to the Rescue

C and I heard the upstairs bathroom door nob moving, but O was not coming out. Then we hear: "Kiikii!" We could feel the panic in the air. CK walks slowly and nonchalantly from their room to the bathroom and opens the door. Big sister to the rescue. All is well again.

C and I thought it was so funny, as O had "locked" herself in the bathroom and starting to panic, she doesn't call mom, not dad....big sister is the first person she think of to get her out of a jam. This will be good in about 10 years.

Our Two Hour Vacation

Today was such a gorgeous day. I was out running a few errands. When I returned home I should have cleaned house and baked for O's party, but I just couldn't. I needed to be outside enjoying the sun. So, when C went to work I took the girls for a walk. A two hour vacation!

We walked down to "our pond" and to the park. It was like spring. Flowers in bloom, everything is green and beautiful. Birds singing and dancing from tree to tree. It's hard to believe it's February.

Happy Birthday O

Yesterday (Friday) was my dear sweet O's birthday. 7 years old!

She had a day full of fun and love. Yesterday, at school they celebrated Valentine's Day and her birthday. I brought in cupcakes for her class. After school the girls and I went to my mom's for tea. We had a wonderful visit and yummy treats. I then took the girls to the mall for shopping and dinner. O's request. They love to shop! We had a great time. They are so fun to shop with.

Tomorrow we will celebrate O's birthday with our extended family. I'll be sure to post pics of her "Penny Party."

Happy Birthday my dear sweet O! You are growing into such a wonderful caring young girl. Don't ever change. Forever stay sweet, caring, and loving.

Me and My Beloved

3 February, 1996

3 February 2010

Well I wish this is where were were right now. This picture is from April 2009, but close enough.

We have an anniversary album. It was given to us on our first wedding anniversary by a dear friend. Every year I put a picture of my beloved and me in this album. One year I was in a hospital bed just after I had given birth to our second daughter. The next year was in a swimming pool with both girls.
Most of the pictures are just me and my beloved, but I love seeing the two years with the girls in the pictures with us. It tells the story of our lives during those years.

Every year C and I look through that album. Huge glasses, hairstyle changes, no glasses, places we visited.....the memories. The best thing, how our love for each other has grown through the years. I never thought I would know love like this. It is so beautiful.

Happy Anniversary my Beloved! I can't wait to celebrate another 14 wonderful years together!
