Sadie's

Devynne and Dylan went to Sadie's this past Saturday (not with each other) and had so much fun. Devynne's date was Ryan and Dylan's date was Ryan's sister, Ashley. See the fun! (and this was only during pictures) :)

He's So Sweet

Puppy update. Benny is 3 and half months old and he is the best little puppy. He goes potty outside, sleeps through the night in his kennel and hasn't (knock on wood) chewed anything except for chew toys, oh, and our fingers and pant legs (we're working on that). He has so much personality and is a little love muffin. We got a good one. :)

2010

2010 is off to a great start. We celebrated New Year's Eve with our friends, the Millers and had a great time as usual. New Year's weekend was very relaxing and mellow, which is exactly what I need after a very busy December. Our house is back in order and I even organized several drawers, cupboards and our desk (a folder is waiting for all the end of year tax stuff). The kids are back in school so our "normal" routine is back in play.

I've been thinking the last few weeks about what I personally would like to work on this new year. I came up with being "more present". I would like to be more present with my family, friends and neighbors. Sometimes I only half listen to people who are talking to me because my mind is somewhere else. I want to be a better listener for my husband and my children. I want to be a better friend and neighbor. I want to pay closer attention when I'm in my church meetings. Over all, I want to be "more present". That is my new year goal and I have already started. :)
