This is history making, folks...
It's an entry without any pictures! Ha!
Well, it just occurred to me that I hadn't updated today. Of course, I didn't take any pictures today, so that would be why.
My mom left today. (Could I say "today" a few more times!?! Haha!) I'm sad to see her go, of course. I wish that she & Craig could be here with us. It's so hard to hug your mom goodbye & watch her drive away when you know that another year will pass before you see her again. I'm so grateful that we got this little extra bit of time with her, though not under ideal circumstances. But, I don't know... Emma will be almost through her entire kindergarten year. Gosh... that seems so... I don't know... far away. I mean, I'm struggling with Emma going to kindergarten anyway, but to think that she'll almost be in FIRST GRADE before she sees Grandma again. Well, you can see why we're sad, right!?! :-(
Anyway. Mom, we love you & hope that you had a safe trip back. I know it's hard for you to go back each time, too. But, hopefully this was the last time we had to say goodbye for so long! Right? That's a good way of looking at it.
So... I'm posting today despite my lack of pictures to let you all know that I won't be posting until late Saturday night, possibly Sunday. The hubster & I are getting away for the weekend sans kiddos! Woohoooo!!! Carla & Rod (Curt's parents) gave us this nice little getaway for Christmas. I've been looking forward to this weekend since December! Anyway... we're heading out tomorrow morning & won't be back until Saturday afternoon.
And, can I just say again...THANK YOU! Every single day, I am ASTOUNDED at the number of visitors and the insanely nice comments you guys leave for me. It's such a daily pick-me-up, and I don't know what I've done to deserve it! I'm so grateful, though! You guys are the best! Seriously.
And, one last thing. I know that I over use the ellipsis. And, I don't even use it correctly. Haha! Also, I know that I overuse the words "anyway," "and," "so," and "well." I also start out sentences with "and" or "but" which is a MAJOR no-no. Believe it or not, I majored in English. You'd think I would be a little more grammatically correct. But, I choose to write like I talk. I think it's more effective & personal for something like this, don't you? :-)

amy, i *considered* majoring in english LOL and my grammar can look pretty ugly sometimes too. look at that, i didn't even capitalize your name or i!
anyway, i'm sorry it's hard to say goodbye to your mom. are you guys moving closer together sometime soon?
i hope you have a great little vacation and take lots of pictures for us too. :)
I know it's hard for you to say goodbye to your mom. But next time you shouldn't have to. =)
Also, the grammar rules are now shifting, and sentences beggining with an conjunction and even with a proposition are not such a no no. I know dorking thing to say but at least I'm learning something in school! =)
Hope you and Curt have a great time!
Well, I think you're right...it's nice to write the way you speak. :) And I always start sentences with "and"...many authors do it these days. So it's not such a big no-no in literary circles. :)
I miss the pictures but look forward to tomorrow's! :)

Amy, I look forward to not having to say good bye anymore, also. I got home safely, the trip was uneventful. Hope you had a great weekend. Mom
I start sentences with and too. I like it when people type the way they talk! Sometimes, you can even figure out what region they are from, by reading their words.I type "ya'll" a lot!!
I am sorry that you have to say goodbye to your mom until next year. I could not even imagine living so far away from my mom. She is my best friend!
Hope ya'll have a great weekend get away! It's always so nice to be able to get away for a few days!
I always enjoy reading your blog, photos or not. I guess it is because you write like you talk, and it is such a wonderful blog to read!
I'm sorry your mom had to go! I bet she appreciates all the beautiful photographs of your girls :)
Amy- I'm an English teacher and I don't mind it all- I break all the rules in my blog too- especially with hyphens! I don't think grammar, spelling and punctuation count on blogs and e-mail or at least anywhere where there isn't spell checker readily avail.
So long as you're not making mathematical errors... it's cool. Start that nonsense, and i'll stop visiting your blog!!!!
He-he!
...by the way, ladies, i'm the older sister... i'm teasing! ;)
hey, and while i'm here... she is AWESOME isn't she? she makes me REALLY proud! i bet you wish you had a little sister like her... ;)
Hey
Your photography is amazing!! I mey your sis Heather on "msn spades" tonight. We had a super unusual night. So Hey Heather it's me DavWho aka Rachelle. Lets keep in contact. What an amazing night. And Amy when are you coming to Oregon? My kids need you to take their pictures!! :) You are the BEST!
hey, another english major here! (actually a writer in another lifetime - that's BK, or Before Kids) i figure since i know english so goooooood i'm allowed to break all the rules! just like photography - once you master all the technical stuff then you can break the rules all you want. just gotta learn em first.
by the way where are you going?
