well, i suppose it's about time i put up some pictures of my beautiful niece Emma-Claire. the first one on the left is my favorite!! isn't that the most pitiful look ever? the second one is the best in terms of seeing what she really looks like. the third is her and her daddy, my brother sam, and the last one is her attempt to make friends with the cat. unfortunately, i don't have one with her and her mom, but that's on the roll that's still in the camera! Emma is about 14 months old now and they live in katy, tx, just outside of housten. a lllloooonnngggg way away. i miss them alot. they were here the week after christmas. my parents are flying down to see them over easter. i'm not sure when dave and i will be able to see them next. unless plane tickets get super cheap this summer, probably not until next thanksgiving or christmas. too long...but money doesn't grow on trees. anyway...on a different note, david and i have been house/babysitting for my parents this week while they are away on vacation. it's actually been pretty uneventful (although you'd think differently being with a 12-yr. old brother and a 15-yr. old sister!) but they've been great. i've been working extra this week for my dad. i've opened the shop early every morning and then worked mon. and wed. like normal. tues, today and tom. i just open, stay a few hours until enough staff get there, and then do whatever office stuff i need to do and then go home! it's been very busy and i'm exhausted. but, hey, any extra hours and extra money is worth it! speaking of working, i have to be up at 5 am tomorrow, so i need to go to bed. have a great week!
it's been a while...and for that i apologize. our christmas and new year's were wonderfully relaxing! my brother, sister-in-law and niece were able to come up the week after christmas for 4 days, sam, ashley and emma-claire. emma is just over 1 year old...she is so cute! when i get my pictures back, i will post some. its was wonderful to see them since they live in housten, tx. it is rare that we are able to spend time with them. we had a few days off of work as well, so it ended up being a much needed vacation. david has finally found a job! he started working at staples this week. he will be working in the copy center, which he is now finding out will probably be a difficult job. but he's training this week and really doesn't know how the job will treat him yet. this is his second day. he is thinking he'd still like to work at the country club again this summer as he knows the people, the job requirements, and will be getting $1/hr. more than last summer. so staples might just be the in-between job he needs until may. i finally am getting around to taking our christmas things down. i was sick all last week, and just wasn't able to get to it sooner. the hilarious thing is that the tree is completely dead and every time you bump it, there is a shower (literally!) of needles! we have a green needle carpet now! we'll see how that turns out later tonight when we take the tree out! other than that, things here are as normal as normal can be. work is work...bills are bills...nothing new or exciting. except that i hit the bath and body works semi-annual sale yesterday and was able to stock up a little for the next 6 months!! always a good deal!and about the picture...this is my new favorite chocolate bar. dagoba chocolate is organic and this is dark chocolate with lavender and blueberries. sounds weird, i know. but trust me!!! it is amazing! for those of you who live around here, you can get it at Everything Natural in clarks summit. and for those who don't, here is their website www.dagobachocolates.com i wholeheartedly recommend it.well, i need to go so i hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the chocolate! go buy it!
