Introducting Ms. Lacie

This is Ms. Lacie Camille Jones. As you can see the last name isn't Sanders so she isn't technically a relation, but she is the only live birth I have ever witnessed. My sweet ones were brought into this world by capable doctors, lots of drugs, and 2 c-sections. I don't even remember most of Gaven's birth. I do have remember Cait's but it wasn't anything like what I experienced on January 23, 2008. Lacie made her debut and I have to admit I am a little more in awe of her mother. Kudos to all your women who brave childbirth. I was always a little sad that I wasn't able to give birth naturally but after that day, I am very okay with my kind of birth.

Also, look closely at the picture and you can tell that she is really smiling at me.

Valentine's Fun

After reading The Strickland's post yesterday, I was inspired to try some Valentine creativity of my own. Creativity is lacking in the Sanders' household but we are trying.

We made heart shaped crayons.

As you can see everyone was invovled and they turned out great. Both really enjoyed breaking the crayons.

Once we understood that we don't eat them (we had to take a bite to really believe it) we were excited to give these to our class on Valentine's Day.

Can you hear me??

Yesterday, I received a hearing aid. For those of you who don't know I am almost completely deaf in my left ear. So yes, turned 29 one week and got a hearing aid the next. You would think it was would have been wonderful to hear everything but it was almost a shock to my system. I could hear before but this was crazy. When left the office after being fitted it was raining. It sounded like my car was being attacked or something. Then turning the windshield wipers on about did me in. Just when I was ready to throw the thing out, I picked up the babies. It was amazing, I could hear both of them in the back seat, not just the child that was on my "good side." Last night when they were in another room playing, I could actually hear what was going on. So I think I will keep this and see what else I have been missing out on in the world.


Sorry, it seems like some kind of sickness I have that I can't post something without including a picture.

Hello All,

It has been two months since I last posted!!! Thankfully we are all doing well. I turned 29 last week, yes that is right 29. In the weeks before I was worried about being single, 29, having 2 toddlers, and imagining all the things I wanted to change before I turn 30. BUT it was a great day. I see little steps of improvement everyday and I have such a great life already. So I am going to enjoy the remaining year of my 20's and try not to worry about the future.
