Tuesday

My favorite time of the day is early morning. Yes, I hate to get out of my warm bed and head down the steps at first, but once I get motivated I love it. I love the quiet. It's so seldom heard at our house that I love those first few minutes (or if I'm lucky maybe an hour) when no one is up and the house is quiet and I have my coffee and start my Laura Ingalls fire (gas logs) and start my day. I try to get a load of laundry going and empty the dishwasher while the coffee brews and then I take a seat in front of the computer and catch up with my blog friends and read my mail and my devotion and plan my day. There is just something about the morning, especially winter mornings, that I love.




I realize that I put a very similar picture on yesterday, but this one just captures my girl so perfectly. This girl just oozes personality. Doesn't that face just say "it's all about ME".
I see a photographer on our hands. She loves her camera. She doesn't know it, but Santa is bringing her a better one for Christmas.

Napping in her favorite spot. She loves her computer and all of her things on her desk. It is crazy messy, but it's all hers. Notice her cowboy boots.

These are a bit late, but pictures from Italian Christmas. This is my cousin Andy and his fiance Jamie and my Aunt Sissy. We had such a great time but unfortunately I didn't get many pictures taken.

So another snow day. The kids will begin to get a little stir crazy I'm sure. They might not be the only one. I may have to get everyone out of the house before the day is over. 3 teenage boys trapped inside a house is almost more than a human can take.

Well, my aforementioned love of mornings is about done. I am being summoned by my girl who is kicking in her bed. Translated "come get me up and let's get this party started."

Have a great day.
