young lady!

Baby Brayson Is Here

My niece had her baby boy (2 months premature) on March 30th.

Introducing Brayson Cade Goss, 3 lbs. 14 oz.

It's like Spring...YAY

I am loving the Spring weather!! Cool in the mornings....and warmer during the day with plenty of sunshine! YAY

Here are some recent photos:

Tessia blowing a bubble and listening

to her I-Pod.

Tessia's new day bed.

Jasper, enjoying the sun beams streaming

through the window.

Weird Weather

Well, the weather has really been weird around here lately.

Yesterday at dusk, we had a dust storm or something like it.

The skies became brown and hazy...visibility was nearly nothing!

It was kind of scary.
On a lighter note....here are some new photos of Tessia and Jasper!

Later,

Cyn.

I love this photo of Jasper....he was yawning!!
We were on the way to the Dog Park in Fort Smith.


I love this photo of Tess....the one time
she actually curled her hair and did not use
the flat iron! :)


Here are Kayla and Tessia with their I-Pod
Nanos. She does not go anywhere witout it!



This is the beautiful sunset at the Dog Park.

Nice Weather!

Wow, we have had some really nice weather....highs have been in the 70's....almost like spring.

I love to open my windows on days like this....and let the fresh air fill my townhouse! My poodle, Jasper, loves it too...and likes to sit in the window sill! :)

Dolls

It has been raining .....raining ......and raining!

Today, the rain finally stopped, but the temps

dropped and it is below freezing again.

Tessia had company over the weekend and

they stayed up late and made these photos.

I think they are so cute. They are suppose

to be "life-size dolls".

Post more later,

Cyn

Sunday morning, 7:11am

It is very cold again this morning, but it is going to be a beautiful day. I went outside with Jasper a few minutes ago and sat on the front porch while he "did his business" and there is not a cloud in the sky. I believe it is going to be one of those gorgeous blue-sky days. I'll be doing some laundry today, but I intend to get outside and enjoy some of this wonderful day as well. I'm thinking of going to Lookout Park with Tessia and her friend Nikki....and of course, Jasper.

I've posted a photo that Tessia took of her and her friend Kayla. She added the "bubbles" with one of my photo editing programs...I thought it turned out kinda neat. She loves to take photos as much as I do. :0)

A little bit of redecorating......

The weather was nice most of the day, but

still very cold.....high of only 39.

So, I stayed in and did a little re-decorating today.

I bought a couple of new paintings for my living room.

The one above the doll case is new and the one above

the sofa is new. I am pleased with them both. Tessia

also did some re-decorating in her room and I'll post

photos of her room later.

I also redecorated my bath....and posted pics of it as well.

It is finally FRIDAY

It is soooo cold this morning, but we have not received any more snow or ice.

I let my poodle, Jasper, out this morning....and he came back to the door

in just a few minutes; which is not like him at all. LOL

Tessia took this photo of Jasper recently; I thought it was so cute.

February 1, 2007

We received around 2 inches of snow and ice last night and

today. The schools were closed today and work was operating on the

inclement weather policy.

Tuesday Evening, January 30, 2007

Finally, I am back.
I have a new home computer now and I can blog til my heart's content. I've missed blogging.
I hope everyone is doing well out there in blogger-land...I am happy to report
that I am much better and feeling good these days.
Now that it is January, we are finally have real winter weather....the high
today was only 40 and the low this evening is supposed to be 22.
The forecast is calling for ice and snow over the next 2 days.
Keep watching ....I'll post more later.

P.S. The photos are of Tess and myself.......Tess and two of her best friends.....

....and Tess and her favorite shoes - LOL

Return to Blogging

I am feeling much better these days.....and have decided to post a short note here today.
I am leaving soon....going to Memphis, TN for a short "mini-vacation".
Upon my return, I will post more details about the last few week's struggles
with Lupus, stress...and life in general! :)
Later,
Cyn

Reasons Behind No Posts

I have not been posting recently....and probably won't be for a while.
I have not felt well and I am fighting a Lupus flare; to know more
about it, have a look at my 2nd blog.
I will be back!
