My morning veiw.
I am not much of a morning person…to say the least. 
But in the winter I luck out a bit with the shorter days – sunrise isn’t until 6:30ish. This is a typical view from my bed out of my bedroom window. My entire life I have slept with the blinds shut not to be awakened by light, but not in this home. Now this is the way to start off a good day.

Abby. Our cuddler, our protector, our pillow, our alarm clock, out face-licker, our blanket, our entertainment, our friend.

Dinner
Jan 12 (tomorrow) is my mom’s birthday so tonight we went out for chinese. Seaseme Chicken is my favorite so it is always good, but have you ever noticed that good food is even better with good company?

Sisters
THIS is rare. They were sitting quietly playing Wii together and NOT fighting, so I had no options but to capture the moment to remind myself that they really can get along. It helps that Shay is sick and Haley feels sorry for her. They really do love each other. (Yes. Shayna is wearing the Fuffa shirt…again.)

She got her first camera for Christmas and loves it! She’s a girl after my own heart.

“I don’t like myself, I’m crazy about myself” ~ Mae West
Bath Kisses
I was taking photos of her glittery hair and messy face vs her clean hair and freshly washed face for my 365 today, then when I was about to put the camera away she started making kissy faces to herself in the refelction. This was one of those adorable candid moments that makes this so much fun!

“Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.” Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.11
One week ago I had never heard of Twilight (gasp!). Yes. That’s right NEVER. I had a weekend away from my children so I called my long time best friend to see if she could use a girl’s night as much I could. She said absolutly, but we HAD to go see Twilight. I agreed, not because I had any interest in the movie, but mearly out of desperation to get out with an old friend. Let me just say i loved the movie and I am now hooked on book one. …..and when I say hooked, I mean hooked.

Wow. The truth hurts sometimes.
In case you can’t read grade 2 language it reads: "I love you mama. Do you ever see me enough and play with me and do my homework with me? Because I don’t think you do. I love you!!"

My baby is sick with a UTI and has been for a week. We spent a terrible afternoon at the doctor’s office after a long sleepless night last night. Tonight she sleeps and I am too tired to think.
I wanted to honor MLK in today’s photograph but I just didn’t have the energy. Though my photograph has nothing to do with this quote, it is one of my many favorites of his "Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. "
Martin Luther King, Jr.

This girl loves her rodeo.

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be” ~Marcel Pagnol
