A few more tidbits about me

  1. I’ve never been on a vacation with my husband. We’ve been on trips and they’ve been good trips, usually visiting family in other states, but we’ve never gone anywhere just for fun.
  2. I love audio books. I have them on my phone all the time. I’m on book 23 of “The Cat Who…” series by Lillian Jackson Braun. Light murder mystery, a little quirky, nice to have in my ears while I’m working around the house.
  3. One day, I’d like to be able to make one dinner that will feed all of us. Instead of making 4 meals like I do now.  It’s exhausting. Some days it is only 3 if Kinlee eats chicken and veggies with me.
  4. My dreams of how I would like my life to be are so simple compared to many others I hear.  I don’t need frills. I don’t need massages. I don’t need brand new cars. I’d love a comfortable budget for groceries, a car that runs without warning lights, the ability to go out with friends for lunch occasionally, and savings enough to ride out the little storms that arise.  And I’d like to have a place for a table and chairs someday, so we can sit down and eat every night. We are relatively close. We will get there.
  5. I could go crazy if given 30 minutes in an office/home improvement store to snag whatever I wanted to get.  Not the expensive stuff, electronics…that’s not what I want.  I’d grab all the tubs and drawers and folders and cute boxes and storage everything!  Oh what I would do with better organizational structure!
  6. When I was little, I often said my ideal “job” would be to just make cookies every day to take to “old ladies” and talk to them.  I still often wish that was what I did with my time. I’d love to spend my time making meals and baking goodies for sweet ladies who just can’t get around like they used to but who are so full of wisdom and experience in life.
  7. I do SO hope that one day soon I am able to have a digital SLR camera.  I’d love to learn about lighting and settings and how to take neat pictures, well, neatER pictures.  I’m often pretty pleased with the ones I get…except for all the shadows with the flash and such.

  1. I've had "The Cat Who.." series recommended to me. I guess now, I'll really need to check it out.

    I, too, SOOOOO want a DSLR. I can live without just about any other type of fancy technology, but I wish I had better pictures of my kids.

  2. I'm with ya on a few of these - of course I would love to be able to mess around and spend "extra" money on photography stuff... but with 4 mouths to feed there isn't much of that "extra" lying about :)

    I am still trying to convince my hubby that we need a childless vacation and I think I'm getting closer to convincing him - it only took almost 9 years... we'll see if I succeed.

    and yeah, I'm quite obsessed with cutsie storage containers and stationary and such - I alway say I'll be organized when my kids are grown :)

  3. Nice post. I got to know you a little more. :-)
    If you get a DSLR, I recommend the Canon Rebel XSi. That's what I have and I LOVE it!!

  4. In just a short time you will be able to make those cookies for the old ladies and take your beautiful girls to visit them. I'm sure any old lady would love to see you and the girls even without cookies! Very soon...

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
