2010~Happy and Healthy NEW YEAR

Alot of changes happened this year~ A LOT OF LOSS~ but then again I have to think I have been so blessed with so many death free years in my life. I mean it happens right? Everyday people die ~this is life~so too are many beautiful babies being born into this world.

So here we are looking to the future~ praying for Health and Happiness to all the people I know. I am thankful that I see the good in these hard times, we have lots to look forward to this year...... My sweet sister is giving us another beautiful little girl. My boys are growing into wonderful young men they are so happy and so good~ I am very blessed. We are looking forward to buying or building a house this year.

Tonight we will drink Champagne and toast to all the friends and family we have lost in 2009 and look forward to 2010 with hope~

Home for the Holidays~White Christmas

Merry Christmas EVERYONE :) First, I would LOVE to Thank my Mom for THIS Gift~ It is the best coffee maker EVER~I was not sure if I would like this machine at first~ it is so fancy and I like my old coffee pot~ there are individual coffee things you put in the machine~ change is not easy for me sometimes but Oh boy this is fancy and wonderful~ each cup of coffee is so delish I am in LOVE with this coffee machine!! I wake up and just get so excited to have such a good cup of coffee~

We were up at 7:30 a nice time to wake up for Christmas :)

The boys got everything they could have dreamed of and MORE~Thank you to my Dad and Lyn who gave the boys just what they wanted :)

I am THANKFUL we are able to stay home this Christmas~ so much has been going on in our lives and I just wanted to make everything EASY this year. While I was planning a small family dinner, Christmas Eve church festivities, light touring and a Christmas at home~ NO TRAVELING~(not that I don't want to see everyone but we are always the traveling party) it decided to SNOW~ it snowed and snowed and snowed~ We are snowed in :) What a WONDERFUL WHITE CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas ~ we are praying for a healthy and happy 2010!!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Violet and Lyla got to see Santa today.  I was too lazy to scan the picture, so I literally just took a picture of the picture.  Sorry for the poor quality, but after 4 or 5 hours of finishing up my Christmas shopping, scanning just seems too hard.  Violet was so ready to ask Santa for candy for her Christmas present, but she was a little shy.  After her picture, she yelled to Santa, "Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!" That was so adorable.  Now, the family and I are going to curl up and watch one of my favorite holiday movies, Elf.

boxes

Logan and Max love the packaging we get this time of year~popcorn filling, pop wrapping and BOXES!!!

Thanks to Grandma Lyn we had HOURS of fun with the box!!!

Aurora's first picture

We are having another baby girl!! After many discussions, we have finally decided on Aurora Brielle Waugh for her name. I think we will call her Rory or Rora for a nickname. At first, we were worried that Aurora Waugh was a mouthful, and it kind of is, but at the same time, I think it works. I just love the name Aurora, and I couldn't pass it up. I hope you love the name as much as we do!

We will miss you~ Poppa Al

My Father in Love Al Flynn died last night in the physical therapy hospital about 1 am of heart complications they could not save him this time~ we were sort of in shock as we saw him Sunday and He was doing really good. I kept thinking this guy is so stubborn he is gonna pull out of this...We are truly grateful for the weeks we got to spend with him before his passing we got to talk and show him how much he was loved. He was a great guy who raised 2 great kids~ who I love dearly.
This year has been so hard to say the very least~ Please pray I have strength to guide my family through these times and do what I need to do to be a good wife, mother, sister and daughter. I have also been very aware of that ever elusive silver lining that glows around us even now~ I love you all ~thank you for your support and your continued prayers~
