I thought we were lucky......

So it has been along while since I have done any "blogging" I have had ideas and thoughts run through my head that I have wanted to post but no time! Imagine that:) But this is something that could not go unposted. Savannah took it upon herself to give herself a haircut. Now it looks kind of scary, but when it is brushed and even curled, it isn't half bad so we will just leave it be!

Michael refer's to her as Joeina Dirt

She cut mainly underneath layers so it is hidden a bit........

The pile of hair.......it looks smaller in this picture. Now you may ask how did this happen? Well I attribute it to a night of no sleep with a sick Dechlin. Having a movie on for the kid's and then falling asleep with Dechlin and Jessa. I do give her credit though, she used the hair cut scissors that are kept in the back of my drawer. I mistakenly thought she didn't know they were there. How very wrong I was!

Blasted Sickness!

My little Savannah has had a fever all day today!! aarrrggghhhh! We made it all last winter without anyone having a runny nose for more than 2 days and now it seems 'the sickness' is running my cup over. Her fever spiked twice at 103.5. My poor little peanut, and those of you who know Savannah, multiple naps in a day are not the norm. She had a blessing and is doing better. I told her that while she is sick she can't be by Jessa and that makes her sad. :( I am being a hand washing and sanitizing natzie because I want the rest of us to be healthy. Michael was sick on Sunday, so he doesn't count. Well he does, but you get my point. Anyway, to the rest of you and your health, may we all get over this collective conscious of being sick this time of year and move on!!

It is time..........

It is amazing the way things happen....fast or slow they seem to not be expected, or at least one doesn't accept the expected.

Michael's dad passed away early Thursday morning. I was fortunate enough to have taken Savannah in to see him one last time for a few hours on Wednesday. He greeted Savannah's drawing of him, Michael and her holding hands by flowers and mountains with his signature...hmmmm.

The feelings taht are felt when someone passes, can at times be confusing. I feel peace and awe. The first time I met him, Floyd, he talked to me for 4 hours while Michael sat around watching TV and eating Oreo's. He was a doer, always something. His hobby was doing new things.

I am grateful that he is in a place now that he can be free of pain as well as move freely. I am also glad to know he can be fully aware of his son's love for him, a place where healing can and will occur.

His funeral services are on Wednesday, and will no doubt be an emotional day, but I know that we will see him again someday and be able to hear his words..."Exactly" and "Hmmm"

Love you Dad Morgan :)

Love Me, Michael, Pigmy (Savannah), Dechlin and Jessa

Mike's Seasoned Heaven

Last night, after being told I had to stay at my parents until I was told I could leave, I receive this text message;

" This is a complimentary text message confirming your reservation at Mike's Seasoned Heaven. Thank you for dining at our fine establishment. And remember to enjoy yourself!"

I was really excited, I told my "host" that I made those reservations in my dreams and he didn't really get it..oh well, I did. So I was told to pull in the "driveway" and wait to be escorted in to the afore mentioned establishement. We walked in and it was dark with Jack Johnson playing softly in the background. There were 2 plates, 2 glasses and a candle on the table. I took my seat and was served a most delicious serving of a Mike original. Chicken, potatoes, greenbeans and rotel tomatoes fried in a Wok to perfection! Then after our meal, we danced in the center of the " dining area" our kitchen.

We were going to go to Cold Stone for desert but I was feeling a bit cold so we decided to go to WalMart and get one of their bakery's brownies (Michael's Favorite) They didn't have any so we found frozen brownie batter, vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. We went to my parents, made the brownies and had an early VDay treat with the kids and grandma and grandpa.

I know it was really simple...but that is my style and totally romantic. I have to say, last night was the best Valentine's day ever for me!

Love you Michael! Thank you for a great night and making me feel so special!
