Summer Plans?

No big plans. Hopefully a redo of this past weekend when weather ruined our mini-getaway. Otherwise, we might venture on some little day trips with the kiddos. The annual zoo trip will happen as always.

What is one thing that can melt your heart in an instant?

The site of my kids giving one another an impromptu hug. All the times where they might be whiny or fighting can be undone with one little glimpse at how much they really do love each other. I hope they will end up the best of friends. Nothing would make me happier.

This picture:
Jesse and I when he was a baby! From the second I met this kid, he had a special place in my heart. I came upon this picture a few days ago, and I NEEDED it. He and I have been thru alot recently and this help remind me that hes still that same kid that I love with all my heart!

What's For Dinner?
Lasagne and bread! ;)

Tacos (ground Bison) or some sort of chicken breast dish. Not too exciting.

Christmas Light Color?
I prefer white, odd I know. Not what I grew up with, but I love the white and twinkle-y. I remember when we were young my mom had theses lights that were hooked to this santa who played christmas music, and the lights would blink with the music. We use to love to turn the sound off and guess what song it was blinking to.

Christmas Light Color?

I grew up with a tree with multicolor lights, so that's what I prefer inside. We had a type of light that is impossible to find any more. They are called twinkle bulbs and they "twinkle" on and off independently. It's magical. I can still remember staring up at the Christmas tree in awe as a child.

Outside, different colored lights (or white) are all pretty...as long as there is some sort of theme. I am not a fan of all the mismatched, thrown up stuff.

Dear Santa, This year I would like...

• To not have to deal with my in-laws being crazy (read "selfish") about scheduling Christmas plans
• To enjoy our first Christmas as a family of four
• To sleep in past 5 am
• New running shoes
