Misc. Weekend Happenings

I'll go ahead and apologize for the rambling nature that this post is going to have.

We've had so much going on lately that I don't want to do one post for each individual item, so just bear with me.

Gymnastics meet Friday night: (please excuse the awful pictures - I'll explain all that in a minute).

The hair - very important and yes I did make the fluffy thing to match her leotard.

Aren't they adorable? All smiles & excitement before the meet.

Getting her medal - no flashes allowed....sorry it's so dark & fuzzy.

Afterward - still all smiles.

Ok - now for the explaination about the pictures. You may have read that my nice camera was "missing". We've since determined that it (along with our portable DVD player) were stolen from my car. I've learned a life lesson from all of this drama.....always lock your car doors - even in your own driveway. I'm way too trusting of people & try to believe the good. Well, that's changed & little & I'm learning to be more careful with our stuff.

We were all very upset that our property had been violated & I was extremely irritated that one of my favorite possessions (my camera) was taken....G was more upset that her favorite movie was in the dvd player at the time.

They say that when God closes a door (or opens one, so to speak) He opens a window. Once again He has supported us through this ordeal and as of yesterday...... I am the proud new owner of this:

I'm in love. Special thanks go out to my wonderful hubby, who on his birthday went out & helped me find this great camera. It is so much better than the one I had before and even came with an extra zoom lens. I can bearly keep myself inside washing clothes when all I want to do is go out and get to know my new friend.

That's about all for now. Hope your Monday is getting off to a good start.

Now, I really must go do laundry.
