I cannot sleep.  So I am up making an icon.. and fooling around with this program that I just got.  :)  Anyone need an icon?  

At least I can pretend she is still an angel?  Right???

Today has been a good day.  Church was good.  I even finally got up the nerve to leave Taylor in the nursery.  It was good for both of us.  She did not have to sit in her carseat the whole time and I got to enjoy worship.  She will certainly go back there next Sunday.  Marlene cooked lunch again this week.  She invited us over.  We had lasagna, salad, garlic bread and chocolate eclair.  It was all good. 

Kaleigh and Dean did not go to church today.  Kaleigh woke up with a fever and headache.  I suspect it is probably because of the flu shot she got on Friday, but I am keeping my eyes on her.  If she is still feeling crummy and running a temp tomorrow I will keep her home and call Dr. Johnson's office. 

I know I just posted pictures yesterday, but I took some cute ones last night. 

( I thought I would share!! )

( Taylor has changed alot... Like you all said. I took two pictures for comparison. Here they are... )

It is so hard to believe that Taylor was 2 months old yesterday.  She is growing so fast.  We went to the pediatrician's office in Albemarle (I was tempted to stop by Robin's because her house is only about 2 miles from the office)..  Taylor weighed 12 pounds 7 ounces and was 23 3/4 inches long.  Dr. Johnson said she is perfect!  (Of course I knew that.. lol)  She got three shots.  Kaleigh even got the flu shot while we were there.  Taylor cried some, but not too bad.  She had stopped by the time we got her dressed and went to check out.  Kaleigh didnt cry at all.  She was so brave!  I was proud of her.

We went to parent-teacher conference for the first time Thursday night.  Kaleigh's teachers said she was a pleasure to teach, was so very kind and outgoing, smart, listened and did what they asked and would give you the shirt off of her back if she thought you needed it.  I was beginning to wonder if we were there for the right child.  LOL  Dean said he was certainly glad she was so good for them because by the time we get her all the bad is starting to come out.  :D  You know I am kidding.  Kaleigh is a good child for the most part.  She is just being a 5 year old.  :D

Work is going okay.  Same old junk. 

( In honor of Taylor's 2 month birthday, here are some pictures I took yesterday.... )

jillianj 's comment to my last post peaked my curiosity about just how much Kaleigh and Taylor look alike.  The answer..  ALOT. 

( Here are some pictures for comparison.... )

I have finally uploaded my new pictures of Taylor and Kaleigh.  I am such a picture whore.  LOL 

( New pictures!! )

I have to tell you this..  When it rains, it pours.  I think you all know that our grandfather has been very ill.  Well, he passed away last night.  ewbass  called me about 10:30 pm last night to let me know.  I have talked to mama and grandma and it seems at this point (although arrangements are not complete) that visitation will be tomorrow night and the funeral on Saturday.  It is going to be a long weekend.

So, first week back at work and I had to leave early because Marlene had a dental appointment.  Now Paul has passed away and I do not plan to be here tomorrow.  Next week Marlene will be closed on Thursday because  she has a doctor's appointment.  Friday afternoon I have to take Taylor for her 2 month shots.  And it is possible I will have to take Kaleigh back to the Miller Clinic because her foot is turning out to the left and she is still limping after having her cast off last Thursday.  I even wonder what I came back to work for. 

Anyway, I better get going and try to get some things done today. 

( Here they are... )

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners

( Now try this one... )

Taylor slept well again last night. She only got up once. She stayed awake yesterday from about 1:30 to almost 9 last night. That was a long awake stretch. She was not a happy camper by the end of it all. One of these days I will get to sit down, eat a hot meal and actually catch up on my TV shows. I still have not seen some of the stuff that aired last week. LOL

Oh well, I better wake up Kaleigh. Let the morning games begin!!!!
