a christmas story -

joe and i had a great lunch with taylor on sunday. she was slowly eating, having a good time and all of the sudden, we look over and taylor is eating her lunch directly from her plate! we laughed hysterically because it reminded us both of the christmas story movie and we couldn't resist saying "show mommy how you eat like a little piggy!!"

grandma nezzy is a graduate!

this weekend was such a wonderful time - i had the awesome opportunity to go back home to ohio to watch my mom graduate from college with a specialized bachelor's degree. joe and taylor stayed back in midland but they were there in spirit for this special day. i also got to spend the weekend with my awesome sisters, family and friends from high school. i had so much fun that i pretty much peed my pants at times. the overall best part of the weekend was watching my 60-year old mom achieve one of her life-time goals. GO grandma nezzy! we love you!
