Well, after that short break....we're BACK IN ACTION! :) Nothing new to report for an update really, so we'll just get right to the point. Her shirt...really says it all! She IS Mommy's Princess! Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of the men and women that have served our country (past, present and future!)
Just ME! :)

Dentist and Distance...

AnaBean had her check up today at the dentist. All is well. No cavities! Yay!! :) She did so well, I was so proud of her. She's been several times now, but this was the first time that she sat in the chair by herself (we've always done "knee to knee" visits) and she let them clean her teeth! They typically try to have parents stay in the waiting room, so I had her all prepped and raring to go...she was going to go by herself and was "soak excited". Then the time came, they called her back and said "bring your Mama". She was still soak excited that I got to come watch them brush her teeth. :) I was so proud of her!! :)

Next up...distance....I may be taking a break from blogging. "Distancing" myself so to speak. I'm just in a funk with every day life these days and really am not interested in being a downer on my daughters blog. I will try to update with pictures and anything new that comes our way....when I get around to it.

For those of you that pray, please keep my 2yo niece (Lyllie) in your prayers. She cut her finger off (not completely OFF, but its bad) last week and they're going in tomorrow to try to "fix it up" as best as they can. Unfortunately, I've agreed to fill in for someone at work, so I won't be making the trip to the hospital. Thanks in advance for your prayers as she goes thru such a traumatic event. Poor girl! :(

Fun times for Mama!

Wow! Mama got to go out and have a fun "big person" night. No little one screaming Mama or any whining to deal with or anything. (that was awkward at first...I'm not used to eating my meal alone) LOL. Anyway, one of my high school friends got married yesterday. Adriana got to enjoy the wedding with me and she LOVED the "beautiful white princess". (Bren sure was a beautiful bride!) But then Mama got to attend the reception...ALONE. :)

So, here's a photo of me, along with my high school friends. Hard to believe that we've been out of school for 10, yes TEN, years! Wow!! I do miss those days...and these special people! We had a blast together last night, just like old times. I hope we're able to get together more often! I couldn't believe how much my cheeks hurt. I haven't laughed that much in a long time! Thanks guys! Brenda: You were absolutely stunning on your wedding day. (not that you aren't always) and everything was so perfect. Congratulations to you and Mark. I wish you two nothing but the best in your future! :) L to R: Me, Brenda (the beautiful bride), Lisa, Tracy and Aaron
Hugs!

Oops!

Not much news to report. Adriana did try to stick something up her nose the other night. (see photo below, just ignore the boogie in the other nostril!) She did have a slight panic attack when she realized she couldn't get it out. LOL. Little stinker! Happy May Day!

Hugs!
