February. Winter. 70 degrees tomorrow.

One of those things is not like the others.

I need SNOW!!!! COLD!!! WINTER!!! I want to be socked in for a few days. Bundle up the kids the kids and play in the snow. Make a snowman, make snow angels, throw snowballs at Daddy. Make cookies and hot cocoa. Play games in our jammies while outside is a blanket of white. Not be able to go anywhere because the roads are blocked.

Where is winter????

...maybe capris tomorrow...at least I still have a tan from the cruise...

2:01am, January 24, 2004 - That was the moment our little boy was born still.

Today he would have been 4. I woke up at 2:01 this morning and was awake for about an hour before sleep overtook me again. I was fuzzy and distracted all day - stumbling when I walked, couldn't write/spell, just feeling fuzzy. I purchased a heart for one of my charm bracelets - for my little boy who will always be in my heart. I miss him so and don't think the hole he left in my heart will ever close completely - and I don't really want it to.

Happy Birthday 4th Birthday Lucas David!!!

I hope you had a wonderful celebration in Heaven. We love you and miss you sooo much.

Mommy and Daddy

Meanwhile from Love Without Boundaries...

There is a contest on Facebook right now, supported by the Case
Foundation. Every day, the charity that gets the most unique donors
wins $1000, and on February 1st, the charity that has the most unique
donations wins FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Yes, $50,000. Right now, the
charity in the lead has "just" 280 people who donated to them.

To register a donation, someone only has to give $10. Would it be
possible for us to find more than 280 people on Facebook who want to
help orphaned children in China? Wouldn't it be so wonderful to know
we had $50,000 extra to help children with urgent needs?

If you are on Facebook or know people who are, please let them know
that LWB is now registered as of last week. Yes, they are behind in the
polls, but we can turn that around, right? The power of the adoption
world is an amazing one! You have to donate through Facebook...that is
the one catch, but I am hoping there is a way to let people in the
adoptive world who are part of Facebook know they can help change a
life by giving $10.

Here is the facebook link:

I got this idea from Family Fun Magazine and decided to try it out on a Christmas Party. Trunk is pineapple. Branches are apples and pears. Ornaments are grapes and star fruit. Yummy!!! Glad I have this photo - it was destroyed in a matter of minutes.
