Company Girl Coffee

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm running late today and it's not even 9am!  I'm not running late for anything in particular, I just started my day late and that makes me feel behind. 

My post today will fit right in with today's small thing:  Do something bad.  My intentions were to write a lovely ('good') post about how my youngest daughters (twins) turned 15 this week, post beautiful pictures of them on their birthday, etc.  Here's the glitch:  I don't have 'beautiful' pictures of them from their birthday.  They left in the morning wearing new tops, hair done extra special, etc.  They came home in PE and track clothes, hair ruined, and, rather smelling like they just came from PE and track.  :o)  But this is the reality of our life and ... frankly ... I think our life is beautiful, so that counts.

So, in honor of my beautiful twin daughters turning 15 on Monday, I would like for you to meet MY Company Girls:

Taylor is actually the second-born twin, but because she always comes last in name order, I thought I'd cut her a break and list her first.  Taylor loves music and can play piano, clarinet, violin and trombone.  Her goal for high school is to learn as many instruments so she can go on to become a music major.  I pray she uses her love and talent for music for the Lord.  She has a heart for Him and is truly a light to all of those around her.

Kaylie is my runner daughter.  This girl is an amazing runner, like her daddy.  She has an amazing work ethic and gives 100% to everything she does.  She plays the flute beautifully, and has a soft heart for animals of any shape and size.  She wants to be a Zookeeper when she is older.  They will be the best kept zoo animals ever!  She loves the Lord and will NOT go to bed at night until she has read her Bible.

Here is a BAD quality picture from my cell phone at their birthday dinner on Sunday at Macaroni Grill:

Thanks for letting me brag on two of my favorite four daughters!  I'll brag on the other two favorites as their birthdays come up!  Have a blessed weekend!

It's over!

Saturday night, approximately 7:30pm, I got my husband back.  Yes, that was the last of the 2008-2009 basketball season for him.  Originally his Friday night game was to be the swan song, but he was given a collegiate game for Saturday and you just can't say "no, thanks" to that!

Anyway, basketball season is officially OVER.  The polyester ref clothes have been washed, dried, and packed away for awhile, and our family will enjoy having our husband and daddy home every night of the week.  Well, except that he's traveling for work most of this week.  But after Thursday, we'll enjoy having him home.

Make it a blessed week!
