Sorry for so many posts - Nana this one is for you...

25 things you may or may not have known about me...

This is a chain letter that is going around Facebook and the blog world...here is my list...

1. Being a mom has completed me
2. I am finally happy with every aspect of my life
3. I love my kids more than I ever knew I could love someone
4. I have a great husband who takes care of me
5. I am not high maintenance...just in need of someone to take care of me.
6. I will do anything for my friends
7. I cry when I listen to songs in the car
8. I don't cry in front of people
9. I have a great family that loves me

She's feeling beeettttteeerrrrrr...

Ellie woke up feeling MUCH better this morning. No fever...that is awesome! She was really funny this morning...I caught some on tape! Cole-Man is still sleeping a lot so I hope that does not mean he is sick too - he slept like this the last time he had an ear infection. He is really crawling now...I will post video of it soon. Here is Ellie telling us about high heels...

I don't know where she gets it!?!? ;)

Ellie is sick right now - and this is her on Motrin (SO much better than tylenol!) It is like up and down with her now. She feels bad then the Motrin kicks in and she goes to Target...go figure!

Saving for med school...

Today I went to Athens to see my grandmother in the hospital. She is doing much better and should be going home tomorrow. But, I just went my self and decided to leave the kids home with Tim. I got about 15 min down the road and Tim called...at first I was like...really...15 min...he could not last longer than that. But, he was calling to tell me what Ellie just said.

Tim said once I left Ellie looked at him and said 'Where did mommy go?" Tim said "Gramma is sick and mommy went to go visit her" Then Ellie said "Is Gramma with Paw Paw (which is my grandfather who died back in June)?" Tim said no, she is not with Paw Paw" - he said "Remember, Paw Paw lives with Jesus now" He then told me she looked down (I guess taking in what Tim just said) and then looked back up at him and said "Daddy, I want to be a doctor to help people feel better" -- SWEET BABY!!

So...I am so proud of her goals she has set...but I think we need to start doubling what we put in her savings account so we can pay for all of that schooling...yikes!!
