Family Time

Marlon came to Wednesday Mother Goose at the library. He was awesome! Such the dad, and he has been singing the songs to Sky every night he comes home from work. This was a great day!









Easter Sunday We stayed at Nichol and Daves and had a really good time. We went to Danielle's church she grew up in. If you are familiar with John Kennedy Jr wedding, it is a small church in the country. Everybody is soo warm and friendly out there.














Mom Dad Marlon and Sky and I drove up to Raleigh/Durham for twinz dedication. It was a beautiful ceremony, very simple and intimate. I miss North Carolina, maybe we can build our log cabin there. It is so peaceful and the air is fresh.

A New Earth

I have been reading this book for over two weeks. My dad asked me when I was going to be done. But, it isn't one of those books you can just read and put down. You have to live it, you have to experience what Tolle is trying to enlighten you with. And, what is sooo awesome is he has many references to Jesus, and worry and bitterness and fear. Ahh it's good.

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

This is not a pretty sideshow. But, I am leaving it up because I am using it as a symbol of why we need teachers.... user friendly does not work for everyone.
Anyway, we were in Austin last weekend without Sky for Milan and Margaret's wedding and had a really good time.

"Okay, Koya we gotta make a quick stop!"

Marlon: "Koya we gotta make a stop."
Koya: "Oh, Where?"
Marlon: "Just real quick"
Koya: "Where?"
Marlon: "Shipley's"
Koya: "Oh, well, we can stop after we get Sky. I haven't seen Sky in 2 days and we can stop on the way to the airport."
Marlon: "No, we gotta stop at this one, it's not on the way to the airport."

Shipley's Donuts in Houston at 34th and Ella. You gotta go if you are in North Houston. It is in the hood and literally has more people going in and out than a crack house. It is standing room only, and there is a drive thru that wrapped into the street.

What's Goin on...

Benjamin's 6th birthday Party at Monkey Joe's - Sky's first birthday party

Sky got a little overstimulate at the party and needed some "space"

TIME TO VENT

What is this you ask??? my bikinis yes, I was planning on going to MEXICO with my ugly knee to go sit in the sun. I figured I deserved it and SKY if nothing else would recover. But, I couldn't walk, still on crutches. I was on a fast from Church all January and carried that into February, and even if I do say so myself I was looking really good...just waiting for my tan and anIced Tea:) So, Mexico was a no go. AAAAAHHHHH!!! And, for those out there who have never had some sun in the winter....ah man, there is nothing like it. It puts the wind in your sails, the ice in your lemonade, the cream in your coffee.... AAAAAHHHHHH!

PRAISE REPORT

Well, I will try to make this story short, but whenever someone starts like that it never is. Back in OCTOBER dad was walking up Kennesaw Mtn. and had to stop several times cause his heart was beating to fast. That was OCTOBER. He finally went to the doctor in JANUARY and they admitted him into the hospital immediately, a resting HR of 120 hey wanted to admit him right away, but he had to come home to say, "bye" to me and SKY. He's a taurus, very stubborn, but sincere and loves his family. Well, they had to do a procedure thru his main artery in his groin, don't know the name but it worked and last week he was running up a flight of stairs. It is a blessing he's alive, and a miracle that technology has him lifting weights, and feeling better than ever. I got to see just how special my parents love for each other is. My mom was in total denial that anything was going to happen to dad...she went out of town, and my dad just let her. I know it sounds weird, but that's my folks...as if they always stay current, like there is nothing they need to say or express to each other they "know." Or, maybe it is double denial. Anyway, they are 37 or 38 years srong and get to keep it going....love you dad!

Well, I think that is it. Thanks for reading! With Love

I'm BACK - kinda!?

So, went to Dr. Bernot today. I have been doing rehab - religiously and been very proud of how it is coming along, considering it is my 3rd time I know no one else is impressed, but I have been waking up at 5 am to go - just so I don't have to "time" Sky. Well, Dr Bernot staightened my leg ...all good and then he went to bend it and all you heard was cartilage rubbing - AAAHHHH!!!! ( aka four letter word) ...then he proceeded to tell me to hold off running...."AAAAHHHHH!!! I am not walking yet, Doc" Im posting the pic for my own good, me and this body aren't going down without a fight!
