today 2/20/09

today is my birthday, but yesterday is what is on my mind. we had a very tough day, our blind one-eyed wonder olivia bit joshua on the face and it required 9 stitches. we decided that it would be for the best to put her down because she has just steadly gotten aggressive. we miss her a whole bunch and there is a BIG void with her gone. so i have added some pics of her to just say bye livvie.

happy birthday julia

our squiggs is 12 today... happy birthday baby!!!!

picture for the day

this is my incentive to keep going to the gym

sisters and such

my birthday is next friday and i'm so excited. i am taking my kids to go see my sister that night. i miss her a whole bunch. not knowing her until i was 26 or so, doesn't seem to matter. as i have gotten older, i realize how much she does mean to me :). growing up an "only child" did have it's perks, but seeing the relationship that my children have with one another, is very comforting. would have been cool to have her there, those late night talks, that now as a parent i am telling my girls to "hush and go to sleep".... so now as adults with families and such, we try to hang out when we are able, living 2 hours away makes it hard though. but not to fret.... i can email her or chat through text,myspace... the list is long of ways to keep in touch. see you soon ami..... yeah!!!!!
