Being that it's almost midnight, and I still want to do a little reading before I go to sleep, this post is going to be in bullet form :) But at least you'll know what we're up to!
* We dedicated Landon at church last Sunday. It was really a special moment for us. I hope he'll know as he grows how much his Daddy and I love the Lord and one day make the decision to follow God himself! You can see the video below
And this was his "dedication pic." Ohhhh .... he just steals my heart every time!!!
* Tanner is recovering from pneumonia. I KNOWWW!!! Scary, right? He just wasn't himself on Thursday morning, so I kept him home from school. We stayed in again all day on Friday, too. It was my birthday on Friday, so Jon and I had planned to go to Michigan for the weekend and celebrate with my parents. My mom convinced me to come even though Tanner was sick. Who better to take care of my little sick boy than Nurse Grammy, right? Well, we ended up taking him to the doctor's office where she works on Saturday morning and it turned out he had an ear infection and pneumonia. Poor guy. He was pretty pitiful. However, he's been SO MUCH better since starting medicine! Still a little cough, but much much better.
* Jon and I had an awesome birthday date at a new restaurant we tried. The food was awesome and he gave me such a thoughtful gift for a stay-at-home mom -- a shopping spree to buy some new fun clothes for myself. I'm so excited and felt so special!
* I have been really getting back into reading since the new year and I LOVE IT!! I've read The Help and The Hunger Games series. Love love loved both of them! Now I'm on to The Prince of Tides. What should I read next?? Any suggestions?
* Supposedly, we're waiting for a blizzard to come through in the next two days. I don't know if I'm happy or mad about this. I always love a good snow storm ... the kind that forces you to snuggle up with your family and a fire and some hot cocoa. But, we've been kind of house-bound for the past several days here. At least I was able to run to the library tonight after putting to kids to bed and grab lots of new movies, puzzles, and books. That should keep them busy for at least 25 minutes! LOL!
Well, I know this was just a tiny peek into what we've been up to, but I have to head to bed now! Landon's doing really well in his big-boy bed, but he's getting up at 6am these days instead of 7! Ummm ... didn't he get the memo that we don't get up before 7 in this house? Seriously! :)
***BTW ... some of you asked in the comments of the last post which lenses I decided to get. Most of my Christmas pictures were taken with the Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.8. I also got the Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4. I'm soooo excited to start experimenting with that one!

I just finished the hunger games trilogy today! I read "the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society" back in the fall and really enjoyed it. It's a quick read and a great little story. It made me want to write a good old fashioned hand written letter. Check it out.
Placed my order today...finally!
Just read 'Saving CeCe Honeycutt'. Fell upon it by accident...LOVED IT!!! Slightly on the order of the movie 'Steel Magnolias' but a completely different story. Can't remember the author but it's REALLY REALLY Good!!
Loved your blog...Hope by now, Tanner's himself :)
Congratulations on Landon's dedication in church. I trust that the Lord will watch over him as he moves through life. He's such a cutie with his big boy haircut and all of those teeth! I'm reading a collection of books by Francine Rivers about 5 important women of the Bible. She is one of my favorite authors, next to Jodi. I read The Help before Christmas and am with you- loved it!! Happy Reading!
