Great Teachers


We've all had them; the great teachers who stand head and shoulders above the rest. My favorite was Mrs. Williams. She was a black activist in the early '70s. She helped me to write the perfect 5 paragraph essay that has carried me through to this day. Dalleen is blessed to have Mr. Alves. He has his heart immersed in his students. Why?? Because he has his heart immeresed in God. He is awesome!

Go Vikings!




These pictures were taken tonight at Jordan's game. They won 19-8!
He had a couple of unassisted tackles (whatever those are) and played most of the first half.
Dalleen and Brittany looked adorable in their cheerleading outfits!

Bliss



Just look at this picture...it is the picture of bliss to me. A nice soft, comfy chair and more books than I could ever read in one sitting! Notice she is sitting away from distraction, toward the wall. Maybe that is what we should all do when life crowds in on us. Let's all find a nice comfy spot to just focus on relaxing and slowing our heart rate. We will all be better for it :-)

Brain Jogger

Here is a riddle for you to solve. Think about it. It will keep your brain working...



I drift forever with the current. Down these long canals they've made. Tame, yet wild, I run elusive. Multitasking to your aid. Before I came, the world was darker. Colder, sometimes, rougher, true. But though I might make living easy, I'm good at killing people too.

What am I?

Feng Shui


I had to move the furniture around tonight. I could pass it off as "feng shui" but if truth be told...Bella has chewed the back of the couch and I don't want that to be the first thing you see when you come into our house! She is really going through something lately. It could be that I've gone back to work or Tyler is not home during the day...who knows?? If she doesn't stop being destructive you may see pictures of our living room on the roof!!

Blakers



Here is little Blakers in his hospital gown. Lizzie took him for a wagon ride this morning. She said surgery went great and he is able to talk and move his neck more this morning! They are just waiting for the culture to come back to find the best way to treat the infection.

Blake



Little Blake is still in the hospital tonight. He sleeps most of the day and only takes sips of water. Lizzie and Trey don't leave his side. He told the ambulance driver "My Nana lives far away". I wish I lived around the corner so I could be with him tonight!
