Long time since I posted here, but I wanted to be able to share some of our snow photos from today. It started snowing around 2pm as a light snow and within a half-hour it had dropped 7 degrees and was coming down pretty heavy. We ended up getting about 5 inches of snow today, which is the most we have had in YEARS. It was a great day filled with snowball fights, building a snowman, and making snow cream.
After a lot of thought, I have revamped my concept of my 365 blog and will resume the photos there. I will go back to foolish, random stuff on this blog. :) Woman’s prerogative, right?
Well, despite my best intentions, with the computer dying early this summer I got very far behind on posting my photos for my 365 blog. Then, life itself just got in the way and in the blink of an eye summer is coming to an end. Since I do have photos from most of the days, I will, maybe one day, complete the actual 365 project (or, as I told my friend, rename it Project 180 and call it a wrap, LOL). In the meantime I have decided you just go back to posting random photos, links, thoughts, etc. here on this blog.
Just to start, this weekend we had Noah’s 10th birthday party. The only gift that he asked for was Guitar Hero Metallica. Both boys would ask most times we were out and about if we could go to Best Buy so they could play Metallica there in the store. Every time we left Noah would ask if he could get it for his birthday. So, with a little help from his brother and grandparents’ gift money, he finally has his own Metallica game. When it was time to make the cake for his birthday sleepover party, it was easy to decide how to decorate his cake.
Happy birthday, my special boy!!! I love him so much and I can’t believe that he is already 10! I am so proud to be his mom!
It is hard to believe that this was cutting-edge technology when I was in high school.
Wow...were we easily impressed back then or what? Wonder what all those people would do if they instantly flashed forward to what we have available to us today. I bet they would all need resuscitation, LOL.
We've come a LONG way, baby!
Since I am behind on posting my 365 pictures this week, I think I am going to stick to just posting them on my 365 blog instead of both places, saving this blog for other posts. It is just getting to be a little too much posting in both. The link is still on the right side of this blog, or if you still need it, it is www.dlnc365.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
Both Noah and Cooper have always loved having a pile of change to save for extra spending money when there isn't any allowance, or they want something a little more expensive than the allowance will cover. However, money is starting to take on a whole new meaning for Cooper since he has started learning the names and values of the coins at school. Both boys were going through their stash today and Noah was helping Cooper count his change when he decided to go get his old Leap Frog counting bank to show to Cooper. They worked together, putting all of Cooper's change into the bank and watching the savings total get higher and higher. At the end, Cooper had $2.24. Noah decided that since he doesn't really use this bank anymore that he would pass it on to Cooper and they set a savings goal of $5. Now Cooper is looking for loose change everywhere.
Today Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.
This was actually my favorite visual of the day. It just struck me as such a poignant moment, in silhouette, President Bush preparing to leave the White House for the last time as President with his successor by his side :
This day has been bursting with historical significance and it was a moment I will never forget. May God be with our new President and with our country.
