Here we are at Leader Retreat in Dallas, TX

After brainstorming, learning, training, getting inspired, remembering our passions, we had a fun Texas style night!! Do we look like cowgirls??????

Another Milestone..

gracie has been waiting for her 1st loose tooth to come out for weeks, I on the other hand have been in denial that it is actually loose. Acknowledging that it is loose would mean two things: the first being that I would have to watch it all over again and endure pain for her and all that blood (this was not on my favorite things to do list as a kid) and secondly, once again I would have to be reminded that I remember THAT tooth growing in, and now thus, our little girl is just getting bigger everyday. Robert helped her get it out finally on Sunday.

a little bit of pain..so sad


the finished product..


now a very happy girl that it is over and she can eat normally again, well I suppose. Another reason she is happy, because she is ecstatic to go to school and show her friends that she, too, can lose teeth :)

it's very frustrating to be misunderstood, especially from those that you think know you well. Even more frustrating, is when you are trying to voice something and no one is listening. I think everyone needs to be listened to, not just heard. A little bit of what I am feeling today. What about you?

and now here's Gracie!

...she thoroughly enjoyed herself as well.
Christmas was so special and magical, the lights in their eyes-what a sight!
