QUALITY TIME WITH THE FAMILY

When I was home for the weekend I got to go and pick these two munchkins up early from school. I went to the office and started filling out the form to check them out. Child’s name, my name, time of pick-up, and then the question that stumped me……reason for leaving early. I looked at the other answers which were, sick and doctors appointment, and I thought and thought for something that sounded halfway plausible. Finally, I looked at the secretary and said, “Does Nana coming to town count as a good reason?” She laughed and said, “absolutely!!!”It was red/white/and blue day at school but no one informed me of that. Lol! I think these two were having a ball picking on me while I was trying to take my pictures. I will take these pictures ten to one over the studio pictures. These show their real personalities. I don’t get to spend as much time as I would like with these guys since we live so far apart. It is really hard to believe that they are growing up so fast. How can they be getting so much older and me still be the same age????
I told them I needed to take a serious picture so that I could tell you gurls about my outfit. This is the picture I got. Lol! Here is a quick rundown of my outfit. My gray top is by Louis Dell’Olio. I have worn this top a couple of times and one of my favorite looks is here. The pants are from Old Navy but they are a couple of years old. That just goes to show you that you can wear items in your closet for years. Just keep adding items a little at a time and you will soon have a wardrobe as large as mine. The gray and maroon cardigan sweater vest is from Cato. I just bought this vest a couple of weeks ago but it is already gone from their website. I swear this company changes things around faster than any other company I know. If you are interested then in the vest you will probably need to go to a store. For my jewelry, I have on the Jamie necklace and the Maggie bracelet. The necklace is a leather strap and multi-strand light silver beads. The bracelet has the same matching beads and it is on an elastic cord.Here is a picture of my mom with Huttson and Matti B. This has to be one of the best pictures of my mom that I have. I got my love (not) of having my picture taken from her. It takes several tries before you get a good one of my mom because she fidgets when it comes time to take the picture, and usually her eyes are closed. Matti, on the other hand, is soooo photogenic!My son finally stood still long enough to have his picture taken with us. He is almost always in an all-out run and we just caught him before he was off to a meeting. I think I need to be measured because I don’t remember my son be so much taller than me.Yesterday was Matti B’s 9th birthday so she decided to “strike a pose” for me. Lol! And you gurls thought that Emersyn was my only diva granddaughter. Lol!!! Maybe they will team up one day and do a blog together.

I am thrilled with all the descriptions that you gurls had for me. I especially loved the God fearing, family loving, and honest comments, I love to think that this is how I am portrayed. The surprising comment, and it was one of the most popular ones, was funny. I doubt if anyone who sees me every day would ever describe me as funny. It must be a hidden talent. I loved that down-to-earth and approachable was used frequently. I sure hope that is how you feel about me. Thanks so much for all the comments, you really know how to make me feel good. NOW, I am going to make one of you feel really good. I asked SIRI to pick a random number and then I counted back to that numbered comment. The winner of the NEW Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex is Rozanne!!! Congratulations!Curious about R+F’s new Intensive Renewing Serum? It’s the yellow one with retinAl. Yes, retinAl, with an A. The clear one is our former Night Renewing Serum with retinol (with an O). R+F replaced retinol with retinal. It is 20x stronger, faster-acting, and more effective. It is the closest thing you can get to prescription-grade Vitamin A but without the prescription or the Dermatology Co-pay and WITH a 60-day money back guarantee!!! It Works on all skin types, even sensitive skin! No other skincare company offers a product like this! Its power partner is our AMP MD 2.0 roller and provides a smoother, yet equally effective, microexfoliation compared to our original Amp MD Roller.
