really?

so, our recent trip to atlanta, was good.
i got to do some shopping at the mall in buckhead,

which i love.

so take a look at this dress....

its a blue. sleeveless, floral dress. straight back.

WHY is this dress so expensive? it's so not pretty.

dear connor,

tomorrow will be a sad day for us.
it's your birthday.

there hasn't been a day go by that we

have stopped loving you and missing you.

your in my thoughts, always. i still laugh

at all the funny things you did. cry that all

we have left are memories. your room is still

the same. your little shoes. your toys. the little

writings on the wall you loved to sneak and do.

they are all so precious still to us. how i miss those

beautiful blue eyes and your big, happy smile.

we hope you are happy. we hope your new foster

parents and foster family love you as we did.

we hope they are good to you. and that you are

happy with them, as i know you were with us.

we have fought in your honor to change things, but

we have had no luck. you were like our own.

please know, little one, that

this was out of our hands. i hope you think of us,

as we do of you.

forever and always you will be our little boy.

here's wishing you a wonderful & happy 6th birthday.

we love you, deeply, totally and always,

Momma and Daddy

somewhere in the ATL

so, i am a week behind on blogging. sorry.

but i do have lots of neat things to blog about,

starting with our recent trip

to atlanta, for valentine's day.

it wasnt as fun as recent trips. it was fun, but just not as fun!

we didnt do as much. go as many places.

i cant wait to go back. i love atlanta.

the last day we were there, we ate an an awesome, awesome

mexican restaurant. they made their own tortillas there.

wonderful service. super clean. cozy. our food was, the best!

i took a pic below of the menu. can you please explain to me

what the cheese is, in the Mexico City Special?

getting ya up todate

ok. so smack my hand.
ive been bad,
and haven't blogged alot the past week
or two.
but. ive had school. and school -
is great!
i went on a trip to Atlanta for Valentine's Day
and I have alot to blog about.
some great stuff.

and the adventure began...

this week was great.

it started off, messed up. as in, out of order. due to my dyslexia or the simple fact that i am absent minded and scatter brained most of the time, i missed the first 2 days of class. but, after cramming for a brain numbing 5 hours...my chapters were studied. and my first two tests were made up. achieving an A on both, i happily add. my class is great. my brain is happy to be used again. the stay-at-home mommy thing, didn't quite cut it all around for me. to be out. amongst people. is rejuvenating. i love it.

o|||||o & football

i just love that little symbol.
yes
i stole it from someone's myspace page.
shhhh.


so for those asking, here's our new Jeep.
and for the record, i LOVE it!
















as for football
...check out dusty's cute jersey




















he was ready for the super bowl!

growing pains

when i was younger,
like most...i felt, untouchable.
maybe like i was gonna live forever.
not that it couldn't happen to me....
but maybe, wouldn't happen.

how time changes us.

we learn to value life.
to take each day and make the most.
to fill each day with experiences,
that you will take with you, for always.

one thing that i stress over the most,
about getting older...
is "growing pains".

the new aches, pains, tingles, throbs....
to sum it up, i worry. freak. stress.
im a regular on webmd.com.
with that said, i don't recommend self-diagnosing yourself.
*smile

i still as of yet to find a gray hair;
which is beyond great news.
i stress enuf over the above mentioned "growing pains"
that a gray hair, indeed...would be a 911 freak out.
