Its Snowing!



We received quite the surprise this morning- SNOW! Dylan was so excited. He wanted to stay home and play but of course he had school. His face showed his wonder and happiness... it made my heart happy! When we pulled up to his school, several of the high school age children were standing outside and helping the little ones get in (just an excuse to linger in the snow, I am sure). I sure am glad that I am not a teacher today LOL! They are definitely going to have their hands full trying to keep their students attention.

Speaking of school, Dylan got his 2nd report card last Friday. He got all A's and 1 B+! His "Fruit of the Spirit" this period was "Peace." The teacher commented that he is doing great. He still loves his school and we see him growing more in knowledge and spirituality each day and we couldn't be more proud of him.

Two Years


Today is the two year anniversary of our daughter's death. It hardly seems possible. We miss her every day. Thank you to all of our family and friends for your support.

Family Vacation- Las Vegas!

We spent our family vacation this holiday season in Las Vegas. My parents (Nana & G-daddy) went with us. We flew out Saturday (12/27) and came back home yesterday (1/3).

We had a good flight on Saturday. Saturday night, Chris and G-daddy went to Sunset Station to watch the UFC fight while Dylan, Nana, and I went to the MGM and ate dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe.

Sunday we went to our cousins, the Ellis family, and watched football and ate lots of great food.

Monday, while Nana and G-daddy explored, Chris, Dylan and I met up with the cousins and took the kids to Adventure Dome at the CircusCircus hotel.

Tuesday, the five of us went to NYNY casino and resort, the Luxor, and the MGM. Tuesday night we went to Treasure Island and saw a Cirque De Soleil show called Mistere'. It was awesome! Dylan was absolutely enthralled.

Wednesday we took Dylan to a Magic/Comedy show. He loved it! He was showing us tricks all afternoon.

Thursday, Chris, Dylan, and I went back to the Ellis house for more football and food while Nana and G-daddy went to Paris, Mirage, and the Venetian.

Friday we all went with the Ellis family to Mount Charleston and had a blast in the snow (Dylan has never seen so much snow!). Friday night, Chris and I took Dylan to Margarittaville and then to Paris where we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower (very cool).
