Things I Love...

...about summertime...




Sweet baby faces after eating fresh watermelon.


Bare baby feet after strolls in thick summer grass.


Crocs, for running in cow pastures and picking flowers.



Sticky little boy cheeks after eating too much ice cream on a lazy Saturday afternoon.


Fresh strawberries growing on the back porch.


And listening to little boys learning to call the cows.

Dedication?

I've always used the excuse of two children as the reason that I am not as dedicated of a blogger as I once was. Yes...that may be true...but I am seriously taking a new approach to my priorities. Where is this coming from? Well, let's see...over the weekend, I was "computer-less" because our power cord bit the dust, and our spare was at Cory's office in Andalusia. So I wasn't able to do anything on the computer all weekend. That wasn't too big of a deal, until Monday morning I found myself piling the kids in the car before 8:00 am to drive to Andy to get the power cord...I guess because I couldn't make it until Cory came home. Then I began to notice a pattern...I would get on the computer and check Facebook and my email before I would do anything else. Again, tonight I was eating with friends, and the discussion came up about blogging, Facebooking and the pros and cons.


So where am I going with this?


I want to make sure that the time I spend on the computer is "worth while." Blogging is much more personal...and I'm documenting the lives of my children. I want to limit the needless time, and spend a little more time enjoying what really matters.


SO....if you are a Facebook friend...yes...I am gone. Maybe permanently...maybe temporarily...but at least until I don't need my "Status Update Patch" for the withdrawals. I want to be more dedicated to what matters...like maybe the laundry...Cory would like that.


Here are a few pictures of the kiddos...per Mrs. Nancy and my Mother's request =)






"CHEESE!"


Sissy is so close to walking...

Diva!

This smile makes my day!

Oh, and here is a video of Sissy's latest talent...she is very good as saying, "NO!"
