Bought!

Many thanks to those of you who helped me navigate the waters of my computer purchase with your suggestions and comments! I appreciate them! I, too, love macs (and have had one since grade school), but unfortunately, my means don't love the mac price. So, after some research, I purchased a new DELL Inspiron 15 and it seems like a good fit for me with teaching online, my basic needs and my humble budget. My dad was stunned at my PC conversion! Ha!

And thanks to Shane, Danielle, Beth and Lauren for a great Mom's Night Out last night! We missed all of you that couldn't be there and hope to see you next month.

Hope that this finds you all doing well this week! We are trucking along here...doing quite well. Recently, the last weekend in January, my mom visited and Lee and me were able to get away to Charlotte for the weekend. It was a wintry, lazy weekend, just what we needed! This past weekend we celebrated Lauren and Ben Barden's first baby, coming in a few weeks, at a lovely shower at Beth's house. We also were able to celebrate our friend Cammy's 30th birthday at her house. A very fun couple of weeks, indeed. And in baby #2 news, we had our first appointment at the OB office, and the baby is doing fine and due September 15 (my dates were way off-oops!). Lee was able to be there and see the sonogram, which made it extra special. I hope that you and yours have a fantastic Valentine's week!
PS- See Sullivan's hands, above. I showed her how to use rubber stamps not long ago and now she thinks all drawing utensils are for "stamping" hands and (of course!?) her feet as well. So, above you see her hands covered with markings as a sign of this new artistic outlet. Ha!
