Big thing happened already this morning in the Dalle house....Nolan scooted from one spot to another spot. I am not ready for this. There is so much to do before he can "saftely" scoot around the house. I guess I have my work cut out for me. I look forward to Nolan growing more everyday. Tobyn is enjoying cereal with his dad and Kayloni still sleeping this morning. I hope the day continues on this quiet eventful path.

Thanksgiving

Well I can't believe that tomorrow is THanksgiving already. I am going to take time and reflect on what I am truley thankful for...not stuff but people and situations in my life. The first thing I am thankful for would have to be a Loving savior. I can't believe on so many days how much he really loves nme flaws and all he created me. I am the person I am because of Jesus Christ. Next I am thankful for my husband, Greg. He drives me crazy sometimes but he is so generous, kind, and caring that I am proud to call him mine. On top of these great traits he is a great dad to our kids. I'm not sure I tell him enough how much I love these things about him. Next, my kids, Creston, Kayloni, Tobyn, and Nolan. They all try my patience many times a day but I love each of them. They help point out thing I do and the way I act that I want to change, they also do the same about things I want to encourage them to follow in my wake with. Finally I am thankful for my parents. My mom and dad are great! THey have taught my so many valuable lessons in life. I am so blessed and I hope and pray that I never forget that this Christmas season.

a lot on this momma's plate

Well I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have behavior problems with my 11 year old step son and he is not doing well in school. This in itself is frustrating! What do I do to help him understand not only that his behavior affects other people and gives him a "bad" name but also how inportant school is. If this is not enough we just found out on Thursday that my 41/2 year old has a cateract on her eye and needs to have eye surgery. After the surgery she will need to wear glasses to read forever. I know that God is in control but I am feelining like Peter on the water...I am sinking and reaching for Jesus to grab my hand and save me from drowning. LORD please help me see your hand in all things.

Frustration

So today I finally decided it's time to decorate for Christmas. I took Tobyn and Kayloni down to the basement and can I find my decorations? NO! I did not decorate last year as Christmas was a difficult time and I can't remember where in the world I put 2 boxes of Christmas stuff.....UGH! I did find the ornaments and wrapping paper. At least I have a start but boy oh boy do I wish I could find the rest.

I can't believe I figured this out

Well I guess I am joining the world of blogging. I hope to keep everyone up to date on myself and my family. The first thing I guess is that Kayloni is so excited for Halloween this year. She finally understands what Halloween is and can't wait for the candy to pile up. I have been very busy as usual. I am looking forward to seeing my friend Beth Wed. this week. I also get to see my brother Robert and his fiance Tabatha. Kayloni just asked me what I would do if I was a crocodile. She comes up with great questions. So I ask you the same....what would you do if you were a crocodile?
