Not that I want to blog about this but....

I think I have to considering there are people that I dont talk to regularly to let them know. So most of you knew our secret, that we were expecting...until today. We found out that we lost the baby. I will be having a D&C tomorrow. I am fine. I know that this wasnt in my hands and recognize that and KNOW that HE knows what is best for our family. I feel that the future is bright and that everything REALLY does work out for the best.

Sorry I am one proud mama. So sue me. I love sharing the sweet things in my life, which lets face it can be hard to find sometimes. So when something sweet and wonderful comes my way, I want to share it. Another brag going my son's way...Caleb wrote this poem in class today. Brought tears to my eyes...

MY FAMILY
MY FAMILY IS LIKE A CANDLE.
MY DAD IS LIKE THE BASE CUP THAT HOLDS OUR FAMILY TOGETHER.
MY MOM IS LIKE THE FLAME THAT GIVES WARTH,COMFORT,AND LIGHT EVEN IN THE DARKEST HOURS.
MY SISTER IS LIKE THE WAX THAT MELTS AND HARDENS INTO A UNIQUE DESIGN.
MY OTHER SISTER IS LIKE THE SCENT, THAT TINGLES OUR NOSES WITH JOY.
I AM LIKE THE WICK THAT KEEPS THE CANDLES /FAMILIES CYCLE GOING.

For Di-yee

I took the girls to the park yesterday to get some shots of them for my class. Aubrie was so helpful not to mention very photogenic. Brynley was more interested in playing not posing. Mitch this is for you. He is very in love with his girls and they have him wrapped around their fingers!

Germs!!!

I wanted to share this with everyone...Last night in my Microbiology class we got to see the results of our samples we took on Tuesday. We went around the campus collecting samples from different sources and then took those samples and put them on plates with different bases to see what would grow. Well, I now know why there are germ freaks out there because bacteria is everywhere! Me and my lab partner collected samples from the water fountain, the toilet seat, her cell phone and the handle coming out of the bathroom. And guess what we found a type of Fungi on the water fountain, Bacillus was growing on the toilet seat and Staph Aureus was on the handle coming out of the bathroom, nothing had grown from her cellphone. Can you believe that??? I mean, I know that these bacteria are everywhere but it was just so gross to see them up close and personal. Another classmate had taken a sample from the vending machine and a mold had grown so rapidly in the plate that it was pushing the lid up! I wanted to take my camera but forgot it. Next time we do a lab like this I will remember my camera. My teacher said we will be going to Walmart and other public places soon to get samples so I will get some pics then.I think this class is going to make me a germaphobe!

Any new books??

Is anyone out there reading any new books? I would love to get my hands on a great new find. I just finished up The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. I thought it was a great "childrens" book but I guess I was expecting something different from her. I think she owes it to us faithful followers and obsessed fans of Harry to give us something more than childrens fables. I liked the idea she had but what I really want is more Hogwarts! I am wanting Caleb to read it now to get his take on it.
I like getting recommendations from people when it comes to books. So if you have a book you think I should read, tell me. Thanks!

Miss Busy

Tonight I found Aubrie jumping on the bed. When I was about to tell her to stop I remembered that I need a shot of motion this week for my photography class and said "Wait keep jumping"! I better be the coolest mom for letting their kid jump on their bed! I am blaming Aubrie's hyper-activity lately due to the cold weather and her not being able to go out as much to run off some of her energy. Can anyone say Spring please?
