Getting Ready for Gracie's Very First School Dance (Semi-Formal) (8th Grade)

This was my first time shopping for a dress/shoes for Grace and what a process it has been.  We've been to over 10 stores and finally found a dress/shoes at Burlington!  Thank GOD! She picked everything out all on her own and I think she did a great job. The dress looks lovely on her and she did a great job matching the shoes, too.  I was just here to pay for it LOL.  

It's Been 8 Years....

so her brother Jake stood in for Georgie)

Growing Up Way Too Fast. . .

My blue-eyed beauty is growing up way too fast.  The transformation the past six months has been amazing and a joy to watch.  The school year is close to an end and she will soon be entering high school.  Gosh...I'd give anything to have her 4 years old again!  She made second honors on her report card so we celebrated with mani/pedi time this weekend. She wanted to try acrylic nails instead of the traditional manicure so I gave in and let her get them. This evening we celebrate Gracie's Confirmation.  For those of you who do not know what it means to be confirmed, it is one of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church (the other two being Baptism and First Holy Communion).  In the sacrament of Confirmation, the faithful are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and are strengthened in their Christian life. I love you Grace-Girl and I'm so proud to call you my daughter!

12 Things to Remember

Loved this....

"Judgments are a confession of character"

Ah...They Sleep (NOT!)

Um...this never happens - Moose (Yorkie) was sleeping and Bandit decided he was going to squeeze in with him and catch some zzz's.  That lasted a whole 60 seconds and Moose was up and out of there.  I managed to catch a snapshot of the moment because I'm sure that will never happen again :) 

Eagles - Super Bowl Champs - 2018

NO, I AM NOT AN EAGLES FAN!  I really don't follow football but if I do I'm all for the Pittsburgh Steelers - below are pics of an office day we had in support of the Eagles going to the Super Bowl.

New Year/New ME!

I'm not one for "new years resolutions" so I think of a few "goals" I would like to achieve throughout the year and start there.  This year is a good year to work on finances and a family vacation with the kids.  It's been a long time since I took the kids on a vacation - long overdue. I practice yoga 5+ days a week, it keeps me centered, so I plan on incorporating new classes into my routine.  I think I've set some realistic goals for 2018!

Namaste!

Thanksgiving in Virigina

This year the kids went to spend Thanksgiving with their dad and family in Altoona.  Jason and I went down to Virginia where I got to meet his family and enjoy a nice Thanksgiving dinner.
