Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day......

a Bradford Pear tree (I think)

Japanese Magnolias

It's finally SPRING!!!! I'm so glad it's warming up and signs of life are showing up in every yard!!! The Japanese Magnolias are done blooming but the Bradford Pears are doing great and the dogwood trees are going crazy!!

Today, Jn had to do pics at the girls soccer tournament at school and it was soooooo beautiful outside, I took JEB over to the elem. campus of our school and let him play on the playground. I had this epihany this week and thought, "Why not? At least it's enclosed, he can play and run around to his heart's content and I don't have to chase him!!" He had so much fun! He climbed the old metal slide....with me at the bottom being just a teensy bit nervous. I remember climbing those slides in our area park and they were HIGH!!! And metal!!!!

He played on the gym bars, climbed the rock wall, and played on the swings! The only thing he didn't like was the sand that kept getting in his shoes/socks!

I will definitely have to do that more often. He can play all he wants and I don't have to worry about other kids coming to the playground and having him want to play with them and they don't talk to him because he's different.

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome day. Celebrate with me as I thank God for putting JEB in our lives. If you have been touched by someone with Down Syndrome, leave me a comment!!

I'm still here....

I know.....it's been too long.....BUT nothing is happening here.....seriously......nothing. I know I should write anyway, for those friends who ck on me every so often and to those who comment regularly.....sorry for the delay.

All is well here in GA.....waiting patiently for SPRING BREAK which is three wks away. Believe me, it can't come soon enough. I'm wanting to rest a bit from the every day routine of getting up, going to school, tutoring, come home, fix dinner, go to bed.....you know???

JEB is doing great. Still adding more to his vocabulary. Speaking in more coherent sentences. Growing taller. Can't believe he'll be 10 YRS. OLD in June......time flies, huh?

Hope all are well. Can't wait for warmer weather, either!

It's SNOWING in SW GA!!!!

YES, FOLKS......it's SNOWING in SW GA!!! I know it's not much, but let me tell you how excited my kids were today! We were one of the only TWO schools in Albany that were open today.....everyone else closed. So, we made the most of it! Had our Valentine parties and spent the morning waiting for the snow to start. According to the tv station, it hasn't snowed here since 1973 and most of the kids here have never, ever seen the white stuff! HOW FUN IS THAT!

According to the weatherman, we could get up to 3" of snow. The temperature has dropped and it's starting to stick to the ground instead of melting. I will post more of my snow pictures tomorrow. JEB actually went outside with me and posed in his "tree" and then was making these funny faces as he was coming up the driveway. Yes, that little teeny white stuff in my hair is SNOW!

Sorry it's been two weeks, but nothing much was happening.....until now!!!

another week......

STAR COMMAND JR. SPACE RANGER!!!

My BFF sent these in our Christmas package and JEB loves them!!! So of course, he had to model them!! He's too cute, huh??? He also got this set of huge space command gloves that make noise and light up, but we haven't ventured into taking the wiring apart yet!! They make some of these things so hard to get into!! BUT when we do, I promise pics!!

Had a good week. It went by quite quickly. Nothing much really going on. Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!

WOOHOO!! It's Saturday!!

Well, we made it thru another week!!

It really wasn't too bad, but I was ready to be done with it. I really don't know why......I really have a GREAT class of little kids......but for some reason, I'm in the mood to bum around the house and do whatever I want.....laundry, do something for JEB, read, scrap.....yeah, right....., whatever. OR I'm not really in the mood to do anything at all.

I sort of BLEAH! I guess. Guess I'm feeling like I need to be doing something.....this was the time of year that we started working on our spring play....at the school in ALABAMA.....but I'm not really involved in that here at SCA.......I think I need to find something to do with myself. I'm also missing our church in AL and the small groups that I would be involved in....or the people I worked with......I don't know. I guess maybe GOD is trying to tell me that I need to spend more time with HIM and in HIS WORD. THAT NEVER FAILS!

JEB is still doing well in school, which I am grateful for. He always has a smile on his face and can very quickly bring a smile to yours. Thank you LORD for giving me this sweet, little guy to watch over on this earth!!

WHEW! It's SATURDAY!

I am soooo glad it's the weekend. This week seemed to go so slow and for some reason, it was stressful. Don't really know why, I was just anxious to get this week over with......and I was looking forward to a long weekend.

I'm really going to try and scrap some this weekend. I need to. I'm soooo behind on JEB's stuff and our family stuff.....and vball stuff and cheer stuff.....and drama stuff.....so, I guess I'd better get started.

ALSO.....everyone grab our new button! Mackenzie worked her magic....AGAIN! Thanks Kenz!!

I know.....I know......

I know.....I know.......it's been too long. Sorry friends....BUT........I was waiting. So, do you like my new look????

Thanks to Mackenzie.....that talented girl......daughter of my BFF........she put it all together!!! Kenz......you are simply AMAZING!!!!

I'm having an ok week......very stressful......wish it was over.....almost......tomorrow is FRIDAY!! AND I have a three day weekend! That's even better!!
