Ben got his first stitches

Wednesday night Ben fell on the step going from our family room to the kitchen and his bottom two teeth cut right through his upper lip. I've never seen anything like that before and it kind of freaked me out. It's so sad to see his cute face get his first scare. Ben's doing fine, in fact he didn't even scream out when they put the numbing shot right into the cut. We are so proud of him for handling this so well. Now we just need to work on mom handling things like this better.

One of the most awesome experiences of my life!

I'm back from Israel and it was wonderful. I was very safe there. In fact we didn't even know there was a war going on. I will put a slid show on my blog soon.

Now, I know I should have been reading church books and the bible during the whole trip, but I read Twilight on the flight home and I'm hooked. I hate vampires so I was shocked that I liked it so much. I need to go see the movie now. Anyone want to go with me before it leaves the theaters?

A Stamp in my Passport

I leave for Israel tomorrow. I can't believe it! I have mixed feelings though. I'm excited to go to a new country, to see the places were Jesus lived, taught and died for us. But it's also hard to leave my family behind.

I have a favor to ask, could my family, friends, and neighbors please check to make sure Garry survives 10 days alone with our boys.

I'm looking forward to sharing this once in a life time experience with you when I get back.

Just call my husband Clark for short

I love that Garry gets into Christmas. I never have to get after him to put the Christmas lights up. Great job on the new lights this year Hon!

Our Cutie Pie Andrew

A few weeks ago we took Andrew in for a random eye check-up. The doctor ask Andrew if he was having any problems with his eyes and to my surprise he said his left eye was blurry. I was shocked, he hadn't ever mentioned this to us. Well, our cute little guy needs glasses. He's also a great candidate for contact lenses. (With the contacts he'll only have to wear one.) Here's a picture of Andrew wearing his new glasses.

My Hobby

One of my hobbies is making cards. I don't have as much time as I would like to make them but I've enjoyed doing this for about four or five years now. Here are pictures of the last two cards I made for card group.

I really need to learn how to take better pictures!

Hurray for HGTV

A couple of weeks ago I decided to paint my oak entertainment center black. If it weren't for all the home improvement shows out there I don't think I would have ever been brave enough to do something like this. (Thanks Deb for your help. My sister Debbie is my total inspiration.) I think it turned out great. I wonder what else we can paint?
