Good Friends = Good Times

"Where there are friends, there is wealth."
~Titus Maccuis Plautus


I have a great group of core friends that I have known since middle and high school. We have made it a yearly tradition since 1995 to have a "girls night out" around Christmas time. If we never all get together through out the year, we always do at Christmas. This year due to various situations we were unable to get together. So, it was moved to Spring Break.
I love these girls and am so blessed to have such loyal friends even though we all have moved away and our lives have gone in different directions!
We are missing Niki in this picture... :( She is expecting baby #2 and headed home before the camera came out.

To my Blogging friends with kids!

Please be careful what you post!
The following is a post from a college friend of mine:

"Well, I had just posted 2 new posts a little while ago... the first one is no longer on here. It was a cute little post showing how Logan had learned how to take off her diaper and it included a pic of her walking and showing her little hiney. So not a big deal but fortunately, I checked my site meter right after I had posted it (not sure why I did, but I am glad that I did). Well anyway, in a matter of maybe 2-3 minutes, I had 16 hits from various foreign countries. Anyone that watches their site meter, realizes that you do get some random visitors from time to time, but literally 16 in a 2 minute time span on my blog is little weird. So I quickly removed that post and all pictures and got a little sick to my stomach. I don't know if I am just paranoid, but I have read on other blogs how they have tracked key words that had brought random visitors to their blog and it can be gross (regardless how naive the intent). So, just a word of caution - be careful what you are putting out there of your kiddos... there are some lurkers that are not welcome visitors that have access to everything you are allowing them to have access to... "


On another note, I just purchased a camera on ebay exactly like mine that was recently stolen. I got a pretty good deal since it has no cables, box, etc. So....there should be more posts with pictures again soon!

Weekend with the Merrill's

This post is a little late, but I just got this picture and decided to share.
A couple of weeks ago, Justin, Melissa and Ava came to spend the weekend with us. We had a great time catching up.
Ava was so good all weekend which certainly didn't help prevent the "baby fever" I seem to have!
Melissa and I went shopping on Sat afternoon and Justin captured this pic on his phone. Ava woke from her nap and went straight into BJ's lap! Too Cute!
