1. January wasn’t such a good start to 2010 for us. Hoping February turns things around.

2. Recent proud Mommy moment…”Jack, I’m going tell you all the manner words I know. Thank you, please, no thank you, and your very welcome. You got that buddy? Mommies like kids with manners.”

3. Jack had his 15 month well baby visit today and he is “perfect.” We already knew that though. He is almost 22 lbs and almost 32 inches putting him in the 20th percent for weight and 80th for height. That has been his curve for a while now. Looks like he takes after his dad, tall and skinny.

4. I used some money lingering in my pay pal account to get a bag for my camera from Priddy Creations on Etsy. It is quite fantastic.

5. As the spring approaches, I refuse to believe Lucy will be 4. Of course, despite my denial, I have started to plan her birthday bash.

6. Dear Fountain Diet Coke, I believe you stand in between me and a single digit pant size. Why must you be so addicting?

7. It hardly seems possible that Rachel & Victor are about to have their sweet baby girl! In just a few short days Lauren will join this crazy family. Be sure to stay tuned for lots of updates and pictures.

8. Lucy has become fascinated by Harry Potter after seeing the first movie and visiting the Exhibition at MOS. I forgot how much I enjoyed these stories. The movies are so great. Now we are hoping to visit the Wizarding World at Universal when we go to Florida in the fall.

9. My guilty pleasure television has always included General Hospital. For awhile I stopped watching but it’s better than ever lately. I can remember watching it after school 20 years ago!

10. Have you heard JT singing Hallelujah? It is breathtaking. I’ll leave you with that to lift your spirit this week.
