Long time
Sorry life has been a bit crazy. We had lots of illnesses; cars breaking down you name it. I think we finally have the car problem solved. We might have found one locally that we both agree on! LOL! The problem is I hate large vans and we have a large family. I'm short so small cars fit me the best but we need a large van for the kids..... Car shopping isn't fun!!! Maybe some day when the kids are gone and I'm looking for my hot rod but now.....
yeah!!! B52's are back,I'm so excited! The last album they released came out the year Chris and I married 1992. I'm so glad they still have that great sense of humor,just love how they mock us in this video about the "mall".
how about some vintage b's ( one of their better known songs not my favorite though I really liked Dance this mess around (the toy piano still makes me laugh) or planet Claire)
I realized I never posted the pictures I promised of Nadia in her "Pamela" hair. She looks so different with curly hair. We used hot rollers this particular time,we prefer the curling iron method like the video I posted. It's not as curly and a bit neater but it's fun to try new things. I like the hot rollers better on Francesca(who LOVES the Shirley Temple look.)
I'm enjoying very much being the Mom of two great teenagers and three little ones. It really struck me the other day how much I am enjoying the teen years. I will have to admit 12 to 13 with my girl was rocky, kind of like living with a pregnant woman. Crying over everything, emotionally sensitive but she has evened out and we really are enjoying our changing roles. Sometimes I find it hard to let go, my kids both agree they think we are way over protective but they also know it's out of concern not control that we are that way.
Most mornings you will find us for an hour or so just chatting. We start our day with devotionals and then usually what ever the topic was we end up discussing, then that leads to events in our lives. I find it fascinating to hear about the lives they are starting to lead without me. I'm weird like that I always enjoyed hearing my husband's stories about his work and the people. I guess I'm fascinated with people. So it's interesting to me to hear about some of the personalities and events in my kid's lives.
It's funny how different my oldest two are. A couple of weeks ago some friends took me to a concert(IT ROCKED!!!!) and by pure chance my son ended up attending the same concert and had seats pretty much right behind mine. He was at an overnighter trip with his youth group and the concert was a surprise. Most of the youth group was being "cool" sitting through most of the concert texting and playing games. Not my son and his friends they were rocking it out. I couldn't help myself either.... LOL! It was funny I thought I might embarrass him but no..... He says to me "Ma how come you weren't going nuts?"(I love music!) Now my friends thought I was totally crazy that night so I hate to think what he was doing.... it's so cool that he is so young and so not afraid to just be himself. That personality trait is something he inherited because that fearlessness was one of the things that attracted me to his father. Chris always an original.
Nadia struggles a bit more. She's shy and quiet, even at home. Isaac has always talked circles around her. She is amazing with animals, just a gentle soul. I could never see her screaming and dancing at a concert. LOL! She is tough though, she’s a lot like her Nana (who she looks like) and her Papa, quiet surface but steel underneath. Isaac is always picking up new friends but Nadia has stayed true to a few close friends with occasional new ones. She's loyal and thoughtful also a lot like her Nana. The two oldest are like night and day.
It was funny when they were younger to watch them play together. OMG that was funny!!! I won't write a long story this post has already become to long but ohhh the stories I could tell!
I know I haven't posted much client work recently. Here is a baby slideshow for you. :)
