Happy Mother's Day....a day late
but at least I posted :) spent a quiet day, a tea at church with Anthony, end of sunday school/mothers day celebration. cleaned my scrapbooking area, tried to organize it.... I always seem to be rearranging things to find the best use for my space. Went to eat in Fairmont at El Marachi restrauant, Linette and her family joined us, along with Linda and her family, Betty also came with us, it was quite a group, I think we stressed out the waitress. Home to organize some more....amazingly low key for our household :)
Checking blogs lost night and on Karen Russels site http://www.karenrussell.typepad.com/ she has been running a fund raiser for women to women international. check here http://www.womenforwomen.org Karen had lined up some giants in the scrapbooking industry who agreed to do a 2 page layout for the winners, as this progressed companies also joined donating prize packages. by the end of the two weeks over 200 prizes were being awarded. The grand total she raised was 12,484.22 amazing! last night as I read thru her blog, scanning the list of winners I almost fell off my chair when I saw "my" name on the list. I won a package from Chatterbox, how cool is that????? I was so excited, of course my family didn't hardly glance my way asI sat in front of the computer freaking out I was so excited! can't wait to see what I won, and feel good I donated to a good cause all around everything is good.
Tomorrow the trial begins for the kids, keep them in your prayers, this would be for grandma's custondy request...trying to remain positive.
I will leave you with some pics, of Yahaira's 2 year photos will post another day about the white dress from her grandmother that Yahaira hated...quite a story there...
enjoy your monday,
Debbie

Where have I been...
Busy, imagine that....Honestly I think I met myself a couple of times this past week.
this weekend was the perfect topper to an overly busy week, Saturday morning was Gracie's dance recital, pics to come once I get them fixed, Saturday night was prom, I never imagined all the work involved in getting a daughter ready for prom...But she looked beautiful and so grown up.. Sunday was Beckie's speech at church, she did awesome, completely comfortable and confident in front of a crowd, that she doesn't get from her mom :) Sunday afternoon was pics of yahaira at Nichole's these were her 2 year pics, she did quite well....Until we brought out the trike then she didn't want to get off the trike...Go figure...Sunday night was Yahairas birthday party, josh surprised us by coming home for it. We grilled hotdogs over the fire pit and enjoyed being outdoors, Yahaira loved all the bubble toys she got, (so did everyone else) will post pics once I get them loaded. All in all a great weekend...but I sure am glad that it's Monday.
