December 30 (Day 6)

My Aunt missed my birthday, so I have been getting a birthday card a day since Christmas. I love her!

December 29 (Day 5)

Phoenix and Griffin went to a friends to spend the night...empty bed. Miss them.

December 28 (Day 4)

My new tool for tracking fitness and food

....however I still like putting a star on a regular wall calendar every day I exercise, I love that summary at a glance.

December 27 (Day 3)

Cindy's mom was in town so we trekked to the square in Denton and the gang had dinner. Here are "the girls" at J&J's pizza.

December 26 2010

Phoenix is making breakfast from scratch using her new cook book, Waffles with Strawberry Sauce...yummy!

December 25 2010

In the midst of the Christmas Morning unwrap-a-thon.

Jan 25

Chris' feet doing the happy dance, he got a job!

Jan 24

A pile of library books, waiting for Phoenix's, to be returned to the library a day late.

Jan 23

So this is my best friend from Junior High School, Lori. She was the first friend I made when we moved to Orlando and we became inseparable. Our dad both retired in Orlando but moved to different parts of the county, we kept in touch until I left for college and we lost touch. I moved to Texas....and guess who lives 30 minutes away...Lori. I never would have guessed all those years ago that her and I would have ended up in Texas, at the same time. It has been like we were never apart. Gotta love old friends like that!

Jan 22

Griffin feel asleep on my bed, he looked so peaceful.

Jan 21

He is making me brownies. Yep, I will keep him.

Jan 20

Chris is organizing his fishing stuff so he can start fishing again.

Jan 18

Griffin usually gets up before the rest of us on the weekends. Pugsly usually sleeps with Phoenix on her bed. But he gets up every morning when Griffin does and snuggle with him until the rest of us get up.

Jan 17

My little man, Griffin. He steals my heart every day.

Jan 16

Pugsly and Phoenix having a moment while selling Girl Scout Cookies.

Jan 15

Pugsly the dog!

Jan 14

Laundry on the bed waiting to be folded. Need I say more?

Jan 13

Haiti...broke my heart. Still does.

Jan 12

This is basically where I spent my three days traveling, in board rooms giving presentations.

Jan 11

Ok, so you would think with being out of town I would have come up with something cool in the area I was traveling, which was Louisiana, but i found myself at the end of the day with no picture, so I snapped one of this little plastic hat on the desk of the hotel.

Jan 10

Chris organized the "baking cabinet" and gave me a tour of the new layout. He was pretty miffed at me because I would not take him seriously. Oh well.


Below are pictures from our short time at a park close by the house. It was really cold. Notice the duck is walking on the water (which was ice) not swimming in the water.

Jan 9

After over a month of not going grocery shopping and eating what we had to try and save money, we finally went and did a major shopping trip. The best part, this is $369.00 worth of groceries and we paid $239.00. I love using coupons on top of sales.

Jan 8

One of my Fridays off. Chris and I took advantage of the time alone and went out to eat, I was snapping pictures and he decided to be silly...and I captured it.

Jan 7

Admittedly, I actually decided to be a proper SEC fan and route for the Alabama Crimson Tide in the National Championship game. That status update really elicited a lot of comments from friends. It will probably be the only time you hear me cheer for another team besides Florida.

Jan 06 2010

Chris updating his resume. He is a little miffed that after two weeks of looking he does not have a firm offer yet. I got a chuckle out of that

Jan 05 2010

Phoenix is doing her own Project 365 this year and posting to the Club Scrap P365 forum, a few are going on her blog as well. This picture is Phoenix posting to the Club Scrap forum. She obsesses at least an hour over what to say. She had done a great job keeping up so far.

Jan 4

The first thing I saw when I walked in from work this afternoon...Chris Vacuuming the Christmas Tree Needles. He took down the tree while I was at work.

January 3

Sunday Morning..the Bible and the Sermon notebook on the table before we leave for Church. As of this date we are still seeking a Church in Texas.

January 2

January 2

I grabbed Griffin and taught him to waltz (sort of). The next song he heard that he liked he grabbed Phoenix and started to dance with her. Too cute!

January 1

January 1, Sugar Bowl Game, Gators-Cincinnatti. We went to a friends house, an old High School/Junior High Friend (Megan Chen) of Shona's (had not seen each other since 1988). Gators won of course. The picture is of the team holding up the game Trophy.
