Snippits of my life right now

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it would be fun to do (and remember some day)...
what I am doing these days...

• Drinking: water, OJ, hot tea (decaf)
• Reading: Outliers: The story of success (a fun and fascinating read), Canon Camera Manual (not kidding), just finished ‘girl talk: mother-daughter conversations on bibl womanhood’, I have a book list of just over 20 books for 2009 (which is actually small but since baby 2 is coming I am not setting myself up for defeat) (David’s is 40 books strong)
• Studying: Canon Camera Manual, how to potty train
• Linking: I have many fave blogs and links, but will not post here, maybe in a letter.
• Watching: We are NCIS fans, and House fans, which is just a once a week watch, but for two weeks we have been enjoying just reading books, reading the word more, and having great conversations about both (which we didn’t do when we just vegged out and watched movies often). We really hope to keep doing this through the year, and our lives…
• Listening: Music: ‘Sing Over Me’ children's CD of various artists, excellent, speaks to my soul more than Sophia’s at the moment. G. Fee on Phil. (excellent as well). Will soon listen to Dever on Job, and must listen to more music!

"Cute. Funny."

After breakfast, Sophia was looking at a book that had various pictures on the page...
Me: "Where is the flower, Sophia?" (referring to the flower on the page)
Sophia (looking up at the vase of flowers David had just brought me): "right there"
David and I laugh, clever girl.
Sophia smiles and says: "cute. funny." meaning, "I am cute, I am funny" our jaws dropped, where does she get this? Oh yeah, us. She thinks those two word are her middle names....oops.

Toes for Thailand

K and I went and got our toes painted today to get ready for sunny Thailand. Thankful that TCC sent us a very fun Christmas package which includes one of my favorite colors of fingernail polish called "I'm not really a waitress." We wore this for my sister's wedding. I took the color to the shop and they did the rest, all for a little more than a dollar. I wouldn't normally post my feet, pale and ugly, but who cares...incidentally, in Thailand feet are considered very dirty...

Two more cute gator fans

My sis just sent me this pic of Isaiah (her oldest), and Micah (second oldest), watching the Gators win the championship. It was a late night, she said Micah was asleep by half time, and Isaiah made it to the fourth quarter before snoozing. Still, that is really loyal for a five and three year old! Love the gator gear!

About Tim Tebow

This guy, the QB for Florida is a stand up guy, I don't link to much stuff here, but here is a pretty good article about how He serves the Father off the field, and loves football, but loves HIM more.

whooo hooo!!!!

Gators up by 10 with 30 seconds left and the ball, it is over!!!! National Champions...a-gain.

Gator Game Day and various asundries

It is the fourth quarter now, Gators with a small lead in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME....I am just watching the screen refresh with the play by play while I do other things. I had to put Sophia's Gator cheerleading outfit on, even though it is too small. I put it over her warm clothes. A dear friend came over and took Sophia out to play for over an hour so I could do a few things. What a blessing. She got a little dirty, always a good sign of fun!


She has this teenage boy hairstyle, I know..


A little blurry, but the Gator loyalty is clear right?

And then....

trying on more clothes for our beach trip...what a trooper, she is ready!


wearing Daddy's backpack (empty of course)

A great shot....

up from a nap, leave me alone.
