First Time For Everything

So, this is the first time I'm entering a blog for the whole entire world to see. I'm very nervous...nah, just kidding. This is like keeping a diary that everyone can read. I sorta like it.

It's a gorgeous day out there today. Almost 70 and sunny. It rained this morning and Gabe asked me why the sun didn't wake up yet. Too cute.

So, Kim got me into this whole blogging thing. I love reading hers, so I thought I would start my own. Unfortunatly, I don't think I'll be posting a blog on a daily basis. My darn job gets in the way for that. I'll have more computer time now at home because the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful job. This tax season I saved up enough money to buy myself my very own laptop ...with the help of my wonderful husband, of course. He helped me out with picking the different options and components. I'm very proud of myself. I never dreamed I would be able to afford my very own. It took many years to do it, but I did it...all by myself.

So Manny had his 3-year check-up yesterday. What a good little feller. He had to wear a gown and everything. They took his blood pressure for the first time. He thought that was weird. The look on his face was like...WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO ME? He's very healthy. Average for his age in both weight and height. To us he's tiny. Doctor Trager said he was amazed at his speech. The long sentences he says and the vocabulary his astounding. Yay, Manny!

Gabriel is a little stinker. He's going through his terrible twos and he's four. Someone help me out with this please. He will not listen to me. He looks at me and shuts me out when I tell him to do something. Are all kids this way. He's a joy to be with when he's not "possessed" with that little devil.

We visited my mom at LTC on Friday afternoon, and the boyz got to meet all sorts of Police people. We got to go into a Police Science class room and the boyz each got handcuffed and got to hold the batton and the blinkin' flashlight. They were in heaven. Gabe told his papa that night that they got to touch a police man! Working at LTC when I went there, I became really good friends with one of the instructors, Dave. So whenever I visit my mom, I pop my head in to see Dave...whether he's in class or not. The first time I took Gabe out there to visit, Dave was teaching, and I peeked my head in the door of the class room, and Dave looked up and saw me with Gabe, and invited me in so he could hold Gabe...right in the middle of class.

Until next time. Tootles.

Welcome to my world! Well done, my dear girl. I did have a bit of trouble reading the print against the dark background. Do you have a way to adjust the color of the print or the background? See what the others have to say if you wish!

Such great news about Manny's check up. With Gabe, me, being the expert that I am, how about trying to talk very, very softly to him instead of hollaring....that worked with my younger boy. Only a thought....

It's me again! I just read your profile....there is a way for you to not have astrological information appear. Look under the set-up or customization...
