Isn't that the way it always is when you're traveling? On our return home it started snowing just as we hit Henderson, KY. That was soon followed by ice, freezing rain and more snow. It made for awful driving and as luck would have it, my daughter who lives in Florida was on her way home to see me. She got stuck in KY overnight.

The great meltdown has begun and it sounds like a bowl of rice krispies out there now. It was beautiful while it lasted.

Well, Baby bean, as it turns out is a BOY! Woot! He's perfect and Kristin is doing well.

Tonight we're meeting our youngest daughter's new boyfriend, who is in the airforce. I'm excited about meeting him and I know our daughter is pleased that he flew all the way to Indiana to meet us.

That's pretty much it I guess...It seemed exciting when I was thinking about it..haha Love and Light

One bit of bad news..my little Peanut was hit by a car and killed on January 2. I'd grown to love my little furkid so much that I was truly devastated by it. I still miss him and cry at night when I'm going to sleep. I've always been an animal lover, but I never knew I would bond so quickly with this little guy. He went with me everywhere I could take him. We even dressed him up and took him to all our family functions at Christmas and he was a huge hit! Everyone that met Peanut loved him. I had turned him into my baby. He loved me too.

Seeing how upset and depressed I was, my Father put a deposit down on an unborn puppy, a Yorkie. At first I wasn't thrilled about it. I felt guilty. Now I'm getting a bit eager for the little thing to come home!

She was born January 25. She won't be able to come home until late March or early April. I'll post pictures when she's home.

Our holidays went well. One of my favorite memories of Christmas '07 is Lexy opening a mermaid Barbie I bought for her and saying "Mimi, it's a zacly what I wandded" She's 3, she still has that "cute talk" I love that about her!

Baby bean is growing and Mama is doing well for the time being. (our daughter Kristin and her baby bump) Kristin has been hospitalized 4 times in the last 3 months. She's been so sick and gone into very early labor twice. She isn't due until July. Keep a good thought for her and baby bean.

Tony and I will be married 20 years the 19th of this month. We're taking our annual mini vacation. We're headed to Nashville this year. I've scheduled a couples massage for us :) We have a few other plans but will mostly wing it.

I need to get around to see all my friend's blogs here. I've missed you all. A special shout out to Cutter and ggirl.

And to surrogate, Lori, FinallyFree, FlowerLady, Mimi, Pirate Girl, Emerging and damnit, I know I've forgotten some and I'll be kicking myself for naming names....I've missed you all.

Take Care everyone.
