The 4th Photo

Stephanie @ Olive Tree tagged me for this. Here are the rules:

1.) Go to your 4th folder where you store your photos.

2.) Select your 4th picture (no exceptions)! Seriously.. no exceptions.

3.) Post the picture with an explanation and link it back to your tagger.

4.) Tag 4 people to do the same!!

This picture is from the Chrismas program at church in 2007. That is Jordan in the black with her candle. She had just turned 10 years old...double digits...a hard birthday for old mom. :) They sang Light Of The Stable and did a really great job. :) I actually had to go to the sixth folder because 2 of the folders had videos in it and not pictures...why they weren't in the video section and not the picture section...I don't know. Obviously, I need to do some re-arranging.

Here is a video of the performance...you can fast forward through Myles' part if you want...but it's funny. :)

Friday Felicities ~ Febuary 6, 2009

Things that make me happy...
~ The simple fact that it is Friday!!!
~ Our new puppy - Nico Toscani Gray - named after Steven Seagal's character in Above the Law...Terrance's favorite Seagal movie...he's so cute! :)
~ That Jordan is working on her attitude - that she is realizing that a bad attitude doesn't really get you anywhere.
~ My healthy family...I need to never take that for granted.
~ Our warm house on these cold, cold, cold, cold nights...if you can't tell - I don't like the cold. :)
~ The fact that Terrance and I have good stable jobs when the economy is so bad.

Link up over at Becky's with things that make you happy...

Shaded Gray Daybook ~ February 5, 2009

Outside My Window...It is starting to get dark on another cold cold cold day. I am so ready for the cold to be over. I am *NOT* a fan of cold weather. On the bright side though...tomorrow is supposed to be around 50-ish. :)

I Am Thinking...about my wonderful, precious Bible study leader who lost her father this past week after being sick for a long while.

I Am Thankful...for my healthy family. I think I take it for granted sometimes that we are all healthy - but after seeing the struggles some families have gone through - I want to always be thankful.

From The Kitchen...pork chops on the grill and long grain and wild rice...a family favorite. After a lunch of carrots and celery - I can't wait!!

I Am Going...to play some Wii with the family after dinner. We are loving our Wii - and loving that the whole family can play together. I love it when Terrance walks in the the room and says, "Anyone wanna Wii??".

I Am Wearing...polar bear fleece jammie pants and my gray/black sweater that I wore to work. I don't really match right now.

I Am Reading...The Bride Bargain by Kelly Eileen Hake. Yet another book loaned to me by Steph. I am liking it so far.

I Am Hoping...to go to bed early tonight. I keep saying that - and then I keep staying up late. I.am.so.tired...

Around The House...Laundry is almost done - I need to put that away. Other than that...it's pretty clean.

One Of My Favorite Things...my new i-phone. I am loving it! I feel so high-tech. :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...nothing major...just regular stuff. I took Jordan to the orthodontist today for a consultation. It's going to cost $6000!!! I am still trying to wrap my head around that.

Here Is A Picture Thought I Am Sharing With You...

Nico Toscani...the new puppy
