Since I am playing catch up, here is a slide show of some happy and silly faces in January and February.

When Parker was little
I found some pictures of Parker (that were digital...few and far between then!) of when he was 2-1/2. He is such a cutie, then and now!

More Liddieisms...
Lellow = Yellow
Loodles = Noodles
Lusic = Music
While we are making waffle mix:
I crack an egg into the bowl...
Liddie says "Hi Little Eggie", then she says "Little Eggie is thirsty, let's give him so milk!"
We give little Eggie some milk and she says "ahhh much better!"
From time to time when Brian is home and making breakfast with us she will tell Brian "Daddy, tell little Eggie hi!" Just too stinkin' cute!
I so don't want to forget some of these because I miss remembering all these things with Parker! Thank goodness for blogging in 2009!

"The Shack"
I have been reading the book "The Shack". A friend of a friend started a book discussion on this book. It just started so it is not too late to join in. I am not a reader, but the book came highly recommended by someone who also recommended "The Wednesday Letters" and I loved that book, so I thought I would follow her recommendation again, I am so glad I did.
If you are interested in this discussion, whether it is just reading the discussion or participating, just scroll down a little and click on the book I have on the left side of my blog.

25 Random Things
Okay, the 25 Random Things about Yourself has been going around Facebook like wildfire. I love reading them...you really can find out a few things about people you would have never known, and it has been pretty fun! A few of you have decided to "re-do" on your blog, and I am joining you (not sure if I will do 100 Beth)! Some will be repeats, some won't.
1. I am technically an only child, though I have 2 half brothers (one of which has passed away way too young) and 2 half sisters.
2. I secretly wish I could/would have one more baby! (Cannot believe I have written that).
3. After many years of not being able to get pregnant after Parker, we did one unsuccessful round of fertility and gave up on more than one child (and accepted it by the way). Our last two pregnancies have truly been the hand of God! (Really 3...I miscarried once after Liddie)
4. None of our children were "planned". (You know what I mean)
5. I never make my bed (only when I change the sheets)
6. I cannot stand to unload the dishwasher, that is why it is a chore of Parker's.
7. I want to win the lottery not to buy more things or a bigger house, but to have Brian home all the time and be a better giver.
8. Every child has increased my prayer life!
9. My mother-in-law & best childhood friend beat breast cancer!
10. I miss my Na-Naw (like a mother to me...my mother's mother). She would get a kick out of these kids. She passed 11 days after I had Liddie and I was unable to attend her funeral, which has made it hard for me to realize that she is really gone.
11. My mom still lives in the house I grew up in.
12. Parker is so much like me, it is scarey!
13. I want to move one more time in my life...move to the house our kids will come home to and visit after they leave and stay in their "old rooms" and have fond memories.
14. The house that we are in now is the longest we have lived in one place our entire married life (and I think Brian's entire life).
15. You would have to pay me a ton of money to return to high school (enough for #7).
16. I was PTA Treasurer for one year (you could do it for two years...one was enough).
17. My kids watch entirely too much television.
18. I always have the best of intentions, but don't always follow through.
19. If there were one reality show I would want to do, it would be Amazing Race. I would only want Brian to be my partner.
20. I have never had a speeding ticket.
21. I don't have an i-Pod (Brian & Parker do).
22. I can't wait to live debt free (including our home). We are on our way: Zero credit card debt!
23. I did not finish college, and I don't think it has hurt me.
24. I make my kids chocolate chip waffles for breakfast most mornings.
25. I want to start a new tradition of writing my kids letters on their birthdays.
There are 25! I may add some as time goes on.

Pay it Forward...Winner(s)
I know I am late in doing this, but I so loved your stories. I did this to encourage us to live our daily lives paying it forward and not just sometimes. I heard stories from helping a family through the rebuilding of their home after a devastating fire (and the family was new in town) to putting a book in the mailbox of a friend who recently lost their pet...and everything in between! Paying it forward can be BIG or it can be small...the result is the same, helping others without wanting pay backs. If you don't have the resources to do a lot, you can still have a big heart by doing little things.
The two stories I mentioned "won" so you can expect a little something in the mail whenever I can get it in (I am a procrastinator and have the best intentions, just know that).
Thank you for your stories and remember to try to incorporate paying it forward daily whenever you can.
