A Typical Day for the Couch Kids
Well, I thought that you guys would like to see the kind of stuff we do all day. So, I thought that I would show you!
We have all sorts of fun playing, painting, dressing up, cooking, reading books, watching movies, and getting messy with shaving cream!!
Every day during the school year we go to Grace Camp where I am the Director of the after school care prcgram at Grace Academy. So we are there from 3pm to 6pm. I took some pictures of the kids there so that you could see some of them as well!
ENJOY!

THANK YOU, LORD! I finally got a new camera yesterday!! I was able to get pictures from our New York trip in February, AND now we can take picures again!! For those of you who know about cameras, I got my first Nikon!! I have wanted one since I studied photography in college. (I also want the Digital Canon Rebel, but I'll save that for later. I have the 35mm Canon Rebel, but it's outdated by 7 years).
Right now, I am sitting at our kitchen table. The windows are all open. The birds are singing. And, my kids and the Patterson kids are all outside playing. They are having a great time! They have painted, taken out every single toy Evan and Emily own, and dressed up as Spider-Man, Super Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Buzz Lightyear, pirates, and cowboys.
What fun it is to have children and friends!!

I am Blessed!
This past week Eric was out of town, and didn't get to be in town for my b-day. He was with the rest of my family (minus my mom), so I got together with my girlfriends for a fun celebration!! We went to Maggiano's and had a YUMMY dinner! Afterwards, we went to Cafe Brazil and had coffee and chatted some more!
I took the opportunity, since so many of my friends were able to come, to let each one of them know what I loved about them, and how I treasured them each individually! I am so blessed to have such an amazing circle of friends! God has used each one in a specific way in my life. From just being there to smile, to praying me through difficult times, they all have been used by God! I am so fortunate that the Lord put us all together!
I have been praying over myself as well as my dear friends, that we would crave to KNOW God. To desire to read His Word. And to walk in His will.
One of my favorite songs from childhood goes like this:
The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow hat will
And humbly be still
To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blest in it
Following my Father's will!

Day out with DAD!
Well, as many of you know, I am a wedding coordinator on the weekends. SOOOO, that means that Eric gets to be "Super-mom" while I am gone! Yesterday, he took the kids to Chick-fil-a to play and these are the pictures that he took with his phone!!!!
I think that he is a GREAT DAD!!

New York! New York!
Eric and I went to New York for the weekend -- JUST US!!!
WE HAD A BLAST!! We found a hotel room on Times Square for just $120 (which, for those of you who don't know, that is an AMAZING deal!!). The room was small, but newly renovated, and super swanky, so we liked it even though it was the size of our bathroom!!! It was cold, but that didn't stop us at all! Luckily, every block has a Starbucks, so I stopped at almost every single one!! We ate at our favorite spots there, such as, Roxy's Deli (they have GREAT breakfast and cheesecake), and RAY'S Pizza! We went to see "Mary Poppin's," which was also fun! They had one scene where Bert danced on the ceiling, and another where Mary flew through the audience, that was cool! We shopped for hours on end. And, we went for a fun, romantic ride on the carriages through Central Park and ended up at Serendipity's for a YUMMY dessert!
Our camera broke, so we only have but a few pics, and we were super cold, so I didn't want to stop to take pictures very often, but here they are!

Welcome to our BLOG!!
Catherine is ATTEMPTING to do this new Blog thingy... Admittedly, I feel like one of those
"blond jokes." I've already called Andrea three times and she's had to coach me how to get to
MY site... hmmm.
Well, anyways, I thought that you guys would enjoy seeing some pictures of the past year! So, hopefully I can get that to work... (I have to call Andrea again...)
