The girls had their gymnastics finale tonight. We went first, but thankfully Daddy was ready with the video camera! Hopefully we'll download it soon and post it.

Attitude Adjustment
You may think with a title like that I'm talking about myself! Of course, you know I'm not! Being practically perfect in every way (Mary Poppins) I am above such things (like a Goodyear blimp).
What I'm talking about is the general attitude that "it's all about me." People who do not take into consideration others thoughts and feelings. Those who take every comment, question, and action in life as a strike against themselves. The general opinion of "Why are they doing that to me?" "Why don't they do what I want them to do?"
Shouldn't we strive to be more kind? More loving? More understanding of the other person and what they need/want? Wouldn't that be displaying a more Christ-like attutide? Instead of playing the victim--shouldn't we try harder to be the hero? Be happy with what we are given? Never push for more, but instead be content with what we have? Waiting to be asked instead of pushing to talk? Giving instead of always trying to receive.
End rant.

Mr. Cloud
This is our most fabulous cat, Cloud Toulouse. He's 9 years old and is just starting to slow down a bit and act like an adult cat! The girls love him, but he is still being selective. He will allow Emma to come and pet him if she is quiet and gentle. Lily still runs at him, so he doesn't often let her pet him.

Springtime
We decided to add a little bit of spring to our house. Of course it snowed a bit the other day, but that's not deterring us! I told the girls after Daddy's birthday it would be spring--hope the weather cooperates! They are anxious to wear sandals and no socks. Yes, I'm quite the dictator! :)

Huggers
As the girls grow out of their clothes, I try to get a picture of them in the outfit. This is the last time for Lily's dress.

New 'Do
Quite a bit shorter than before. These are pics I took in my bathroom mirror. Not great, but not bad considering....
