And as much as I would love to have an excuse as to why, I simply don't have one. Life is busy. Raising four kids is tough. Like riding a bike up a hill with two flat tires tough. I find that I can't remember everything about my kids that I want to. So in an effort to record these events and milestones. And my emotions involved with all of it, I have to start writing again.<br />
Let's start with the beginning. Emma is 13. I can't even believe that I'm writing that. I don't know where it went. But in the back of my mind all I can think is that I really only have 5 years left with her under my roof. I already miss her. I miss her chubby cheeks and dimpled fingers. I miss her innocence. I miss the way she used to think I was the smartest and best woman in the world. However I will say that she figured that one out pretty quickly. She has turned into the most wonderful young lady. She is responsible and determined. She sets goals for herself that I never dreamed for her. I love how she takes control of a situation. She takes responsibility for her self and for her future. I truly can't wait to watch her grow over the next 5 years.<br />
<br />
Payton Danley is about to graduate from 5th grade. Next year I will be the mom to 2 middle school girls. I could not be more proud of her. She works hard. She marches to the beat of her own drum. She is a loyal friend and a determined softball teammate. Her will to achieve astounds me on most days. She has a quiet and watchful eye. And in all of our kids I see Erics personality in her the most. She worries about people. Last Wednesday as I checked her out from her bus on her field trip, she quietly asked her teacher who the girl she sat with on the bus would find to sit with on the way home. She worried that she would have to sit alone. I pray she will aways have that tender heart and I pray that I will be more like her in that manner. As she is heading to middle school next year I know I will miss the last of the class parties with my two girls. As they grow older they are trading in Their days of playing dress up and American Girls for Netflix and FaceTime with their friends. Through it all I can only look around and wonder where the time has gone. I am left only with the choice to cherish these days I have left with the girls and hold tight to the moments I have with their little brothers because I know all to well how quickly these days pass us by.<br />
Easton. What a ray of sunshine God has given us in this little boy. I catch him at 6 years old somewhere between the sensitivity of an innocent kindergartener and the toughness of an elementary aged little boy. He sees the word through fresh eyes. And treats everything as an adventure. He loves to play and explore. He is too busy for hugs during the day but in the quiet of the night when he is still and a little by drowsy , he lets me snuggle him and let's me know that the best part of his day was this right here. This hug and kiss and snuggle. Most of the time, it's the best part of my day too. When the girls weee little I didn't cherish those bed time moments like I do with the boys. I didn't realize that one day they would no longer need me to tuck them in and it just seemed like one more chore to do at the end of a long day. Now I see it as the prize I get after mothering these kids at the end of the day. I will take it every time.<br />
Parker. Last but not least. Not that he would allow himself to be least in anyone's mind. He is a spitfire. A lover of life and laughter. A stubborn little man who adores his brother more than anyone in life. He looks to him for fun and guidance. He wants to be with him as much as he can. I pray that Easton will be the type of big brother that leads him well and shows him love and life. The type that leaves footprints worthy of being followed. Since I have taken a new job, I now have the flexibility to work from home on Fridays. I have loved getting to spend a little one-on-one time with him. In getting to know his personality, I see in him the desire to learn. The quest for knowledge and growth. He asks more questions than I am ready to answer and in the moments when he is quiet I know he is pondering his next move.<br />
<br />
My kids are growing up so fast. In trying to get through the day I forget most of the small moments that are worth remembering. So I am challenging myself to take the time, slow down and write it down for my future self to look back and reflect upon.<br />

It dawned on me today as I was holding my newest nephew, Ethan Shane, just how quickly they grow up. Then I went and picked up my 2nd born 6 year old from school. Have I mentioned that she is purposely lying about the answers to questions you ask her to see if you can catch her? Without skipping a beat she tells me false answers to questions I already know that she knows the answers to. What is that about? Man. They really do grow up... and outsmart you. Still later I was helping my 2nd grader study for a test on Martin Luther King. I remarked to her that he died in the same year that my parents had been married. After the initial shock about the fact that her grandmother was alive at the same time as MLK Jr. wore off she asked if they had been friends and then thought a second and said, "No. I guess they wouldn't have because they were segregated." Segregated? That's a big word to use in a conversation with a 7-yea-old. After thinking some more she then remarked on the fact that he had died in the same year her grandparents were married by saying, "It was the beginning of one life and the end of another." When did she grow up? Who is little person sitting in front of me and when exactly did she change into someone I can hold a regular conversation with? <br />
<br />
After the lying, the studying, the crying, the protesting, the upset tummies, the poopy diapers, the homework, the spilled milk, the uneaten dinners (and this was all today) I think I want another one. ;)Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-42655350350245663822011-04-09T13:16:00.000-04:002011-04-09T13:16:40.008-04:00Baby E's RoomI have for the most part finished Baby E's nursery.

<br />
If you live a sedentary life, gorge yourself on high-fat foods, and puff two packs every day; your doctor will likely lecture you about your lifestyle and assign you some homework – diet, exercise, and no more tobacco. If you ignore the lecture and neglect your homework, next time you visit your doctor chances are you won’t score well on tests of blood pressure, body fat index, or lung capacity. <br />
<br />
No halfway intelligent person, giving the situation a moment of thought, would blame your doctor for your ill health. Your doctor merely has the skills, means, and job to make your ill health visible. <br />
<br />
Now consider a 16 year-old kid from an inner city where crime is a given, fathers are an endangered species, and cocaine is a food group. Born into poverty, this kid never saw a book until first grade. His elementary school years were marred by spotty attendance because of chronic illness – lung infections from the mold and rodent excrement in his housing project. When he did attend he struggled to concentrate, having had no breakfast and often no dinner the night before. Now he skips school more often than not, and when he does attend it's only to peddle drugs for his gang, or get high himself; like he did the day of the standardized test. Having missed most instruction and being too lit to read the test, he failed.<br />
<br />
The teacher didn’t create the poverty this kid was born into, nor run off the kid’s father, nor encourage the kid to join a gang or use drugs. The teacher didn’t chase the kid away from school four days a week. It took 16 years of neglect and misfortune to create the mess who walked into that teacher's classroom. Out of 16 years, the teacher's cumulative influence totaled maybe 24 hours. <br />
<br />
What halfway intelligent person, giving the situation a moment of thought, would blame the teacher for that kid's test score? <br />
<br />
Apparently quite a few, since people nationwide cling to the notion that thousands of teachers – all college educated, licensed, and having years of experience – suddenly need to be fired. Count U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan among the “fire the teachers” zealots. When a Rhode Island school board fired the entire staff of Central Falls High School, Duncan praised the move. “Education officials are showing courage and doing the right thing for kids” Duncan said. Others might say that school board showed political posturing; rallying their anti-teacher support base for the next election.<br />
<br />
Placing blame for the achievement gap on social conditions, rather than on teachers, is a slap in the face of political correctness. The mere suggestion that factors outside the school setting influence achievement only brings more blaming, shaming, and even name-calling from anti-teacher factions.Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-91298605172591560092010-07-19T22:00:00.000-04:002010-07-19T22:00:37.349-04:00Payton's Half Birthday<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0r1Ko1NLiLUJnQJ0a8jvlDinRyRX3GzjSrHkDC9Rpp0f-NuTcgckMerPb_VwicznhTgVtahUzsS42q22oOLH2K2RAs1oyvnf8z0q5N6am6dse3OfYoSZDkTdc4RwOeEB6JJEVSXm0mE/s1600/DSC02669.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0r1Ko1NLiLUJnQJ0a8jvlDinRyRX3GzjSrHkDC9Rpp0f-NuTcgckMerPb_VwicznhTgVtahUzsS42q22oOLH2K2RAs1oyvnf8z0q5N6am6dse3OfYoSZDkTdc4RwOeEB6JJEVSXm0mE/s200/DSC02669.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5z_FI6I-eSPgQgn3CoV48qKSkttlH8uLLBAGDPc33qP4BFJeqbRPz7zat9IlB_RmXONlpiuFn7v-Fuy_d3Gke1WIYRmjz_sFBHf_2Y5dWD11Z4qa5Z8-DrmuMi1ysV0Pr8HLbzOyaS6k/s1600/DSC02649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5z_FI6I-eSPgQgn3CoV48qKSkttlH8uLLBAGDPc33qP4BFJeqbRPz7zat9IlB_RmXONlpiuFn7v-Fuy_d3Gke1WIYRmjz_sFBHf_2Y5dWD11Z4qa5Z8-DrmuMi1ysV0Pr8HLbzOyaS6k/s200/DSC02649.JPG" width="200" /></a>Poor Payton's parents didn't plan out her birthday very well. (Uh... planning pregnancies just isn't our thing.) Her birthday is January 5th. This is usually the day we go back to school after winter break. Everyone is tired, fat, tired, and with the onset of school...tired. (did I already mention that one?) We have done it once before and it worked out so we decided to again throw Payton a half-birthday party rather than one actually ON her birthday. For the past year Payton has been telling me wants a Minnie Mouse party. This was just fine with me since I had this Disney cartridge for my cricut and was dying to use it on something. So we invited our friends, got ready to go and had a Minnie Birthday! It was all very cute. <img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwYbOGn1Dlr0weiOnt431uhvyg_csSpjYhYGQpSC1aaqFngDO7Dgg1-sa25fWrDlNN_gOn9iioZaINN694I3-Z6mXti5nQ0cpWGgjgHiL1ibNnde5B1uX0otEfM5OX725N817unQrnmLk/s400/DSC02650.JPG" width="400" />I made the kids their mousekatool box that they would need throughout the party. Inside were the 'tools' they would need. For example: there were coloring books set out on the table. But uh oh! There were no crayons! What do we do? Oh toodles??? Inside our Mousekatools? CRAYONS! Or, when we went to eat.... there were no cups! What do we do!? Oh Toodles??? (You get the idea) I made the ears and pretty much everything else you saw. WE served the kids hot-diggity-dogs and had an Ice Cream Sunday Bar. They jumped on our bouncy slide and played balloon games and best of all... I didn't have to paint a giant princess castle made out of boxes or hang up a circus tent in my living room or cover the walls of my foyer so the kids could finger paint <a href="http://leighann-shabbychic.blogspot.com/2009/04/payton-turns-3.html">Curious George style</a>. We had a blast!</div><br />

Well, that may be exaggerating a bit, but that's what it feels like. Practice <i style="color: red;">EVERY </i>morning and meets on Thursdays. It's exhausting! To start off, Payton made her way on to the swim team this year and completely skipped the bubbles and went straight on to the team. She was swimming the length of the pool unassisted from June on. She came in last most weeks, but as one mom from an opposing team snidely remarked to me when she failed to decrease her time in an event, "She's <span style="color: #660000;">ONLY</span> four!" Ok Ok I got it lady! She did great though! I was so proud of her all season! Emma was also still in the 6 and under age group this year. Being that she is 6, she should have done very well and she did! She wasn't the best on her team but she improved her times each week and did great. There is one particular girl on our team who is a phenomenal swimmer. <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Fiona.</span></b> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil9RlDZLM3MI2607tYX1tJ-q_mxVw2CxaLvsXbTLbPR4rkO7bB9AsGQr7rJ_t1Bq4V1MRmpuPFpyS3mx1k6AhD46CATw_K1w7UvjqGxHcTViB4HGCXR2NG31lZNYdWp8apa5BQlTRBaMg/s1600/DSC02756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil9RlDZLM3MI2607tYX1tJ-q_mxVw2CxaLvsXbTLbPR4rkO7bB9AsGQr7rJ_t1Bq4V1MRmpuPFpyS3mx1k6AhD46CATw_K1w7UvjqGxHcTViB4HGCXR2NG31lZNYdWp8apa5BQlTRBaMg/s320/DSC02756.JPG" /></a></div>She really is great and her and Emma are the same age so they are constantly swimming the same events. At the second swim meet after swimming against each other all night and Fiona winning they were both slated to swim the Butterfly. This is an even that doesn't occur until about 9:30 so Emma was EXHAUSTED! Neither girl had a time for this event so they both had to swim in Heat 1 and happened to be the only swimmers in the pool. I wasn't expecting much as I had never seen Emma swim fly successfully but she thoroughly surprised me and and did GREAT! She stuck with Fiona the whole time and only lost by less than 2 seconds! She ended up coming in 3rd in the entire race which is great especially since it is an 8 and under event! However when she got out of the water the poor girl just started crying. It was partially due to being overly tired, but her tears stemmed from defeat. "I always lose to Fiona!" I felt bad for my little girl and struggled between wanting to <strike>push Fiona in the pool </strike>make everything better yet also wanting her to learn that she isn't always going to win and sometimes it just stinks. Throughout the summer I have tried to stress that swimming is in some cases an individual sport where you try to beat your own times and not worry so much about everyone else. I also told her that Fiona was a great swimmer who really worked hard and she should challenge herself to work that hard and maybe one day she could win. That doesn't mean much when you aren't getting blue ribbons though. Fast forward to the last week of swim team. After swimming at a friends house and seeing that indeed Emma could be competitive if she wished to be, I challenged her before she swam back stroke to really want to beat the person next to her. She was swimming in lane 6 and if you know anything about swim team lane 6 is not where the winner of the race normally swims. (<span style="color: #674ea7;">Hint:</span> it's Payton's signature lane!) However, tonight was different. Fiona was in lane 4 and when the race started Emma came out strong. Halfway through Eric and I realized she had a chance and when the race was over we were looking at our FIRST 1st Place Win! Emma ran over to us and the only thing she could say was, "I beat Fiona!" and then in a softer wisper, "but I didn't tell her that." She was so happy and it really was a great way to end the season. Unfortunately it didn't end there. The 7-8s on our team really aren't that great. There aren't many of them and they couldn't do all the strokes well (hence Emma's 3rd place win in fly). Due to this our Medley Relay (an 8 and under event) was made up of all 6-yr-olds. <br />

Mind you they swim against a bunch of kids 2 years older than them so we weren't expecting much.<br />
This past Sunday we traveled down to Georgia Tech, which really bothered Emma. She wasn't happy about all the yellow and blue. She was mad at her coached for picking such a place for this meet. (I tried to explain it wasn't their fault). Hers was the third event and despite a very late start for Emma her team placed 2nd in their Heat of 5. So I guess that means they didn't come in last! Pretty respectable if you ask me!<br />

For those of you readers who don't go to Grace then you should know that it's the message our pastor sends out each week to let us know what the sermon is going to be on and where his heart is. This week is especially intriguing to me considering the week I have had. It starts out...<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue; text-align: center;">Ever find yourself in unfamilar territory? </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes things do not turn out the way we thought they would. </span></div><div style="color: #6aa84f; text-align: center;">Sometimes things take a turn that we did not anticipate. </div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Those kinds of turns tend to disorientate us. </span></div><br />
Have you ever felt disorientated? I can tell you that right now... I'm feeling it. Things I thought to be true have been proven false. Walls I thought I could lean on turned out to be curtains. Yet, through it all I'm not shaken! I have learned this year 3 things. <span style="color: red;">One:</span> I love my husband more than words can express. (Even if I can't always show that) <span style="color: red;">Two: </span>Good friends are there no matter the cost.(even if it is REALLY expensive popcorn) <span style="color: red;">Three: </span> God has a plan for this life of mine that I am not even aware of (yes hopefully it will involve more kids in this house in some fashion!) Even without numbers 1 & 2, number 3 makes it possible for me to walk when I can't see the path.<br />
<br />
So regardless of the twists and turns in my life, I know that everything is going to be ok. God has blessed me in this life more than I can even imagine. I have a great husband, great kids, great friends and a great job. Remember the important things in life as you head into your weekend. Love others and never take them for granted.Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-20579706957222937512010-04-28T17:08:00.000-04:002010-04-28T18:00:12.953-04:00April First Update<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">APRIL FIRST! </span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">April First was a big day... not only was it the Oratory Recital... but it was Emma's birthday!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">SIX YEARS OLD!!!<br />I can't believe I have gone from this...<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhse0EAe-8qWKF62spuvF-4u-s5RDyUeeDtLySsPqssmUn31IVQxQoEpb-GNMq0O-NMhcjBClxyJQfdfF-g0Y6AIq8lJ4jj2ZGjaaYcGT_lKeDyzlaZJKIPk3f8Yigr5Zm7lYP2KdMHHCE/s1600/Birth+009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhse0EAe-8qWKF62spuvF-4u-s5RDyUeeDtLySsPqssmUn31IVQxQoEpb-GNMq0O-NMhcjBClxyJQfdfF-g0Y6AIq8lJ4jj2ZGjaaYcGT_lKeDyzlaZJKIPk3f8Yigr5Zm7lYP2KdMHHCE/s320/Birth+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465299013584701378" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">to this...<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTuhSCYF7M_TWcFTPMIEUmu8PJOaF346djfYuUvxkdwpdGSmmN3OVv9HvbDqE6rPUrDZXXHMoOsgTC2Cno9F4bw0_OxV1Nzpy_T0v51eyd121pguiEjRXtuj4DkmKX4CWnI31htPQCWo/s1600/DSC02020.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTuhSCYF7M_TWcFTPMIEUmu8PJOaF346djfYuUvxkdwpdGSmmN3OVv9HvbDqE6rPUrDZXXHMoOsgTC2Cno9F4bw0_OxV1Nzpy_T0v51eyd121pguiEjRXtuj4DkmKX4CWnI31htPQCWo/s320/DSC02020.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465300684471622002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">AHHHHHH!<br /></div><br />Before school on this particular morning, Mr. Lussi (see article <a href="http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/home/headlines/92026924.html">here</a>) asked to have breakfast with Emma for her birthday.

We had a great time in Hilton Head with our cousins and good friends. It was great to reconnect with Jamie and spend time with my two most favorite Meek sister-in-laws! I didn't want to leave and I can't wait to go back in 4 weeks! WOOHOO!<br />When we got back we had the staph infection debacle, strep throat, antibiotic allergies and a excema flare up that still hasn't subsided... so yes, I would rather be at the beach. Having great kids at school this semester has definitely made it easier to come back though! Seriously, I don't want this bunch to leave. I love them. I'll post pictures soon, but if you want to follow the class then head to www.danleylanguagearts.blogspot.com.<br /><br />Ok Spring Break.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Garrett was very excited to get to the beach. </span><br />He reveled in finally getting there!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNDGyAhCUwsxnyhT17e0cGo5XtM2egsNHIpEVeacb3FnwmWYMeQAwB1GyKezeaNPWg22yCBCEdXBl-Zaw7t8ZtQlKCukScysZVYvJYe03CDh6BzzfcnySaZ7o5vrEXAP9QaT1hqxwrBQ/s1600/DSC02095.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465281938919880754" style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I'm not sure whether I told you that the winner of the class would have to preform in front of the K-4th grades and their parents. I didn't mention it because I was sure it wouldn't matter. I just wanted Emma to be able to say her poem without freezing or getting upset. I didn't even send in a prop or give her a costume... I know... bad mom! <br />I received a call from her teacher this morning stating that Emma had been chosen (along with her friend Carson) to go forward and say her poem in front of the bigger crowd! How exciting... and nerve racking (is that supposed to be spelled with a 'w'?)! She said Emma did great at reciting her poem. I was so proud of her! Now we get to go see her recite it on April 1st! Yay Emma!! <br />(I was told to get her a costume and a prop... any ideas?)<br /><br />Edit: The poem is titled "Seven Blackbirds in a Tree"Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-61539831292851973872010-03-17T17:10:00.000-04:002010-03-17T20:18:26.537-04:00Golf LessonsWell... it has been a busy two days! YEsterday the girls had their second golf lesson and were excited to keep practicing when we got home. Afterdinner we headed back out and the girls practiced their driving and chipping towards the cul-de-sac. They had to run to the street to get the balls before they went down the drain. I too got the itch to hit so I grabbed some of the wiffle type golf balls and started driving using my mom's old clubs. I however was not as careful as my children and ended up wacking Emma in the eye at close range with one of the wiffle balls on the best shot I had all day! IT wasn't pretty, but there wasn't any blood; just a very puffy and red eye. THis morning we woke up and although it was still a little swollen we sent her off to school for her "Boosterthon Fun Run" day. (This was a PCA fundraiser. Emma got pledges of dollar amounts per lap and today was the run) At about 8:30 I received a phone call from the school nurse and they said that Emma told her she was seeing spots. I called the ophthalmologist and finally got her an appointment for this afternoon. (She was able to run the fun run and ran 35 laps! The most you can run! WOOHOO!) The Eye technician asked Emma to read the eye chart. She started it about halfway down and Emma didn't respond so she moved it all the way up. Emma then told her that was an 'E'. She then moved it down a few and again Emma didn't respond. By now, I was starting to panic about the possibility that she really wasn't able to see. But then we moved it back up a line and singled out one letter and she was able to see it. We moved it back down and again. Silence. At this point I asked her if she could see it. "yes, I can see it!" "Well, what does it say then!" "Well, I'm trying to sound it out but I can't figure out the word!" Oh wow. I have never breathed a sigh of relief and laughed so hard at the same time. Poor girl has never had her eyes checked before! She didn't know she wasn't supposed to make words out of all those letters! Ahhh parenthood is so funny at times. Emma's eye is fine. She just needs some steroid drops for the next few days. Hope the school nurse is ready for that!!!Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-46325412085565781722010-03-13T12:53:00.000-05:002010-03-13T14:43:12.244-05:00GREAT NEWS!!We received Emma's report card in the mail this week, and she has DRAMATICALLY improved! I see so much change in her at home too. I am so excited about her growth, yet I also know that it is all God. Lessons learned in parenting are all about being willing to listen and admit mistakes. <br />She is still a drama queen! So if you have any tips on how to handle extreme sensitivity in 5 year old girls let me know! <br /><br />Payton on the other hand LOVES to learn. I know that it is because she is wanting to keep up with Emma, but the other day in the car she started reciting the pledge to the American flag, which she has memorized at school! I was floored, and immediately felt guilty because I rarely ask he what she is learning at school. So, I asked her what else she knew. She started reciting the pledge to the Bible and the Christian Flag. I was now just laughing at her abilities. Second Child Syndrome at its finest! She asks all the time to read and go over numbers and letters. She is going to be hard to hold back. <br /><br />Emma has an Oratory Recital at school where she has had to learn a poem to recite to her class and a panel of judges. She does great with me and Eric but freezes in front of others. Payton has also learned the poem due to Emma reciting it so much and does fabulously in front of others. She will have no problem at her first Oratory Recital... but please keep Emma in your prayers on March 22! <br /><br />Love my girls!!Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-49091618330793643222010-02-15T20:08:00.000-05:002010-02-15T20:28:08.926-05:00Switching GearsWell, since Eric isn't here... I guess I'll just talk to the keyboard. Wow, my life is sad these days. I wonder sometimes if my mom ever felt this way when my dad worked late, and then of course I realize...NO! How could she? I mean I was at home with her right!? Thank goodness for my own kids. Otherwise, the nights would be super lonely. <br />Ok... so it seems I'm wallowing in self-pity tonight. I need to snap out of that! <br /><br />So, we had Emma's 3rd Quarter conference the other day and it was less than stellar. It was disappointing. I guess I knew that Emma was struggling at home, but I didn't realize it had transferred to school. The sad thing is, I take the blame on myself. I have pushed her so hard that she doesn't want to do anything! Who can blame her... In case you don't know me... I'm a wee bit aggressive. All in all the whole thing has been a wake up to me as a mom. I have learned that all people aren't me. (shocker right!) Emma has a different learning style and motivation than I have and I need to learn to meet that. I can say that since I have had this little enlightenment and changed my way of addressing her there has already been a turn around even in the short few days since the conference. Example: Tonight she took the book out of my hands and told me to stop reading because she wanted to do it. That is HUGE! Woohoo! <br /><br />All in all, I was crushed, but not defeated. I think that I needed it for the sake of my relationship with Emma. As parents I think we are called to be their cheerleaders. Who else is going to do it if we don't? So, I'm switching gears. We shall see if she reaps the rewards. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzfmXXjYYtY62Fvx5dL4fX0HKsJkqzMgRNJBTZMfbyyEyzsQ1nd2xCDYXum2gglPlnhBUkshvRHVyJ2-6C0bv769R26cU7x-mwbdqrTNeLowKnSR5fdtx5_ISAUL1QzwMJ8jlXuxKBfs/s1600-h/DSC01827.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzfmXXjYYtY62Fvx5dL4fX0HKsJkqzMgRNJBTZMfbyyEyzsQ1nd2xCDYXum2gglPlnhBUkshvRHVyJ2-6C0bv769R26cU7x-mwbdqrTNeLowKnSR5fdtx5_ISAUL1QzwMJ8jlXuxKBfs/s320/DSC01827.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438646870436462530" /></a>Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-8059093541963469792010-01-27T10:11:00.000-05:002010-01-27T10:16:38.690-05:00New PicsCheck out these pictures of my kids taken by a friend... if you want his name.. just ask! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-igljfqJlZgfVkQ-2bw6YIA0civBHMNkRmq0sY3GcHqKY3CkD-ZoTdg0UZRNsiJvIEOvz8vZCC3WWwzTzrFCBYUit23ndmtjl1bAG9sctmZcfXRArVe-mvcCq6FK9kv6ZbMZcSbD2vWk/s1600-h/peyton+orange+flowers.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-igljfqJlZgfVkQ-2bw6YIA0civBHMNkRmq0sY3GcHqKY3CkD-ZoTdg0UZRNsiJvIEOvz8vZCC3WWwzTzrFCBYUit23ndmtjl1bAG9sctmZcfXRArVe-mvcCq6FK9kv6ZbMZcSbD2vWk/s320/peyton+orange+flowers.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431438680752206146" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8v4wEAcFhJik1YGohz3AjQG0WKxy-mjg1mm40DUO457RhWB7YjP94RVPO8qN0AS_bmyV4Ow6IR0IddrhLJBRQya7M0UzTYZwvb8z0b-GdBcqRBAMQIKVU2T2ZwjZqH2uXkrELQmYX2U/s1600-h/(52+of+133).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8v4wEAcFhJik1YGohz3AjQG0WKxy-mjg1mm40DUO457RhWB7YjP94RVPO8qN0AS_bmyV4Ow6IR0IddrhLJBRQya7M0UzTYZwvb8z0b-GdBcqRBAMQIKVU2T2ZwjZqH2uXkrELQmYX2U/s320/(52+of+133).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431438168756255538" /></a>Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-46268667684027277752010-01-26T17:49:00.000-05:002010-01-26T18:04:27.004-05:00Well, as I sit down to write I find I don't have that much to blog about, but I'm going to follow my own instructions to my student and put the pen to the paper, or the fingers to the keyboards if you will, and just see what comes out. <br />What first comes to my mind as I hear my dinner bubbling in the oven and the smell of the meatloaf wafting through the air and the sound of my children playing upstairs is how incredibly blessed I am to be able to experience life. Not just any life, but my life. There was a time in my young life when I used to seriously wonder why I was made who I am. Why couldn't I have been an Amy Anderson, the most popular girl in middle school, or an Angel Willis or Elizabeth Creech the captains of the cheerleading squads (and both very dear friends). Why was I me. Why did God place in my soul a quirky nature with the tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time or fall over on the way to the table or the uncanny gift of breaking things and the inability to remember important dates and times! Despite my flaws I am blessed to have some strengths... sometimes it's just hard to remember them! I am a funny mom. I am the perfect compliment to the husband who remembers everything. My quirky nature makes me an interesting to watch teacher.... especially when I run into the table or trip over a bookbag. So, the blessings are real. Sometimes they aren't noticeable. They can be overlooked. The laughter sounds annoying rather than sweet. Dinner is a chore rather than a privilege. Teaching becomes a job rather than a passion. All in all, I'm glad God made me to be me. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4N2l5xBE6cGfOIehVVluT6uzzM1K64jgqEf8B7G0oH4TWK_hDBZ1eeWcj1965kBBrpkq59Rf-eoF3vvd_poonGznPHOABnFnG3OXJAzUJ0sN5EC4P3CnUN6oDB1JmqQPGIAAbFjOCDIw/s1600-h/DSC01823.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4N2l5xBE6cGfOIehVVluT6uzzM1K64jgqEf8B7G0oH4TWK_hDBZ1eeWcj1965kBBrpkq59Rf-eoF3vvd_poonGznPHOABnFnG3OXJAzUJ0sN5EC4P3CnUN6oDB1JmqQPGIAAbFjOCDIw/s320/DSC01823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431188170221533730" /></a>Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-8394195311013956352009-11-12T16:49:00.000-05:002009-11-12T16:59:40.445-05:00Just Some ThoughtsDo you ever just realize that through the pain and the tears and the tough times that you wouldn't rather be anywhere else than where you are? Life has been interesting for the past few months, and it hasn't been easy. There has been difficulty at home, difficulty at work, difficulty with friends and difficulty with myself. However, through it all I have this absolute peace that it is exactly where God wants me. I can't remember a time in my life when I have felt His will for me in my life is to just sit and be and listen and learn. <br />The most amazing thing is that through it all I feel a peace. I know that decisions will be made that need to be made. I know that relationships may be changed and altered forever. I know that I may come out a different person. And I know that it is O.K. <br />I love this verse, which is why I have it posted on my facebook page, but it is a constant reminder of whose I am. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">With Your very hands You formed me; now breathe Your wisdom over me so I can understand You. I can see now, God, that Your decisions are right, Your testing has taught me what's true and right.<br />Oh, love me - and right now! hold me tight! Psalm 119<br /></span>Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-200300596987396582009-10-12T18:51:00.000-04:002009-10-12T20:43:34.641-04:00A Disney Experience

They Are A Changin'You know how I know? I didn't post a whole blog about Emma's first day of school this year until um... almost 2 months in. Wow. Poor Payton. You probably won't even know she goes to school! Trials of a working mom. Well I have almost... 10 minutes to write and I think I shall take them. We have been busy with... life. School started back. I went back to work. Payton went back to Dana's. Eric lost his job. Eric found a new/old job. Life goes on.<br />We are incredibly blessed. Emma is doing WONDERFULLY at Providence. She says that Annie is her new best friend. She loves her teacher Mrs. Carter. And when I ask her what she did during the day she says, "I played on the playground!" Well, at least she is having fun learning and she doesn't even know it. Our first parent conference is next week and I'm sure I'll post after that.<br /><br />Payton. Wow. She is about 1 inch shorter than Emma now. 2 inches taller than Emma was when she turned 4. Did I mention Payton is only 3? I keep telling Emma she is going to outgrow her... and soon. We have to get her a new bike soon... why? Because she rode the toddler bike, that wasn't supposed to be ridden like Payton lies to ride, into the ground. It is TORN up. Her new favorite passion is drawing. She takes a pad of paper wherever she goes. Like a little Picasso. Maybe... this new passion will explain why she is moody, has a dark mysterious side and says her favorite color is black. Oh the thought of the teenage years.<br /><br /><br />Ok. My 10 minutes are up. Here are some recent pics!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyphenhyphen0jtAib09Qb4ICvUhxz9zZJ5V4BMhPx7MV0asg4FKwOrh_THqnCL9MQyOK0hXH06tMJTlAj1WG8sfI8n0aQJemnxs9vNAC4wdd62Qy7NWAC140rKfTEPYKlaKaqJ_cjySWhVQEMMoPI/s1600-h/DSC03790.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyphenhyphen0jtAib09Qb4ICvUhxz9zZJ5V4BMhPx7MV0asg4FKwOrh_THqnCL9MQyOK0hXH06tMJTlAj1WG8sfI8n0aQJemnxs9vNAC4wdd62Qy7NWAC140rKfTEPYKlaKaqJ_cjySWhVQEMMoPI/s320/DSC03790.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382925299617359330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBgpVcp_CAEybdOrx2alX6drNs9RNrjZnxm4P1zEpxv7ChNK-kPz-xhekW3xe35v2Up0e_XGwI9jAzbhCziyfGbvQ19WR92OELIRh5Oqa72lUVTacO5nUaEPODEROr1T-zWmcg7mHkBs/s1600-h/DSC03792.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBgpVcp_CAEybdOrx2alX6drNs9RNrjZnxm4P1zEpxv7ChNK-kPz-xhekW3xe35v2Up0e_XGwI9jAzbhCziyfGbvQ19WR92OELIRh5Oqa72lUVTacO5nUaEPODEROr1T-zWmcg7mHkBs/s320/DSC03792.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382925308947782994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM6xMz2DWzEEr4UFkklDho8k1C4cue8G3EYz-Xh99Kecdg0_b5ITthOkvIFcXsDYu69BTm63WlAq7IklJx_TfSA-uE43ous_5pQqfp_VkGu7WgI4VyZJMuG3GxhyphenhyphensnmCEHOvnEyECwRe0/s1600-h/DSC03763.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM6xMz2DWzEEr4UFkklDho8k1C4cue8G3EYz-Xh99Kecdg0_b5ITthOkvIFcXsDYu69BTm63WlAq7IklJx_TfSA-uE43ous_5pQqfp_VkGu7WgI4VyZJMuG3GxhyphenhyphensnmCEHOvnEyECwRe0/s320/DSC03763.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382925292942615458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvAunSEA5tzDk41g8T9r2CE9aGYwDPA-xs0civHM76hU7aXM3FmuYOZvxIcGe5aJ91r2y-taZ634Bu9cNpHw6iykOf6yij39lVevW-0pTHtO5O-VqQEbeDdUuQzI3mBpM6xXKRiyNOVQ/s1600-h/DSC03750.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvAunSEA5tzDk41g8T9r2CE9aGYwDPA-xs0civHM76hU7aXM3FmuYOZvxIcGe5aJ91r2y-taZ634Bu9cNpHw6iykOf6yij39lVevW-0pTHtO5O-VqQEbeDdUuQzI3mBpM6xXKRiyNOVQ/s320/DSC03750.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382925278889874754" border="0" /></a>Leigh-Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745945262181283197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745940386046346392.post-25834101602180553832009-07-29T08:23:00.000-04:002009-07-29T10:07:03.427-04:00Summer ProjectsWell, it's been a while and I thought I should update you on all the things we have been doing this summer. Family first. Since I have already posted on the weddings, and vacation and 4th of July, we won't go there again. The month of July has been pretty laid back.

I was proud. So now my little couch table looks cute with some cheap decor on it!<br /><br />I was also inspired by Thrifty Decor Chic to add some flair to my back deck. YOu can go see hers <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2009/07/details-of-deck.html">here</a>, but I obviously didn't have as big a budget for new furniture. (plus I LOVE my old furniture which was a DEAL from kroger at the end of last summer). I added some lights around the railing and made some custom shutters for the back windows as well as painted the back door. I love my deck now. It has more personality. Eric also worked hard that weekend putting in some stairs. He isn't really done yet becasue we need to put some sod down, but have to wait for the right season. A helpful hint also given by TDC is to buy the clearance flowers. they are almost dead, but if you add water they come right back. With my luck at plants I figured they would be dead soon anyway so why spend a bunch. I got flowers for the back deack in 4 different pots for $8.
