The Steele Family

Labor Day

2009-09-14T14:02:00.005-05:00

I took the children to the Train Depot in downtown Hattiesburg on Labor Day to snap some photos. It's a beautiful location and unless I find a better spot I'll be bringing them back to take Christmas photos.

The ole bunny ears trick. Boy am I glad I never did that when I was a kid!

There were other photos I would have liked to have added but it has recently come to my attention that my children count the number of photos of themselves on this blog....they keep a record of the total....and they let me know, very quickly I might add, if one of them has been slighted in the teeny tiniest bit. Therefore, for the sake of my sanity, I'll only add as many photos as I can count without pulling my shoes off....lol =o)

Unsure

2009-08-24T13:48:00.002-05:00

One day last week I was browsing through Books-A-Million and came across this Bible cover. I just knew some of you would want to run and buy one before they all sold out. I am completely unsure what exactly to make of this; although, I am completely sure that I won't be buying one for myself. =o)

Amazing Grace

2009-08-17T12:20:00.003-05:00

While tucking Lane into bed last night I could tell he had a heavy burden. He finally told me he had been wondering what he had to do to be saved. I brought him to my bedroom and while we sat on the bed I pulled my bible out and turned to the scripture. I had him read several verses out loud that told of the plan of salvation and then we discussed what they meant. When we were finished I asked him if there was anything else and he told me yes, that he wanted to ask Jesus into his heart. As tears rolled down his face he prayed the most beautiful prayer. When he was done I gave him a great big hug and asked him if he died where was he going. His face lit up in a huge smile and he said "Heaven!". He was so excited and kept repeating over and over that this was the happiest day of his life. I told him that it was one of the happiest days of my life too. Not only do I have the assurance that we will one day be in heaven together, but God gave me the greatest gift by allowing me to be there and hear him and watch him as he made the most important decision of all. The joy radiating from his face was indescribable.....AMAZING GRACE =o)

Football Season Has Arrived

2009-08-14T15:32:00.003-05:00

Last night Lane began football practice and Lori Anne began cheerleading. It looks like I'm gonna have a Quarter Back on my hands for a while. Since this is his first year to play he's very excited yet nervous too. This is Lori Anne's first year to cheer as well, I think she is most interested in the pompoms and she has somehow come to believe that she will magically be able to perform these awesome back flips. I, on the other hand, discovered that until football season is over we will be spending every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday either practicing or playing....... joy, joy =o)

Photography by Lori Anne

2009-08-06T13:48:00.004-05:00

Lori Anne got a hold of the camera while on vacation. I'll let the following images speak for themselves.......

First Day of School

2009-08-06T13:20:00.003-05:00

Today was the first day of school. As usual I had to take about a 100 pictures to document the day (actually it was only 41).
Lane started 4th grade this year... 4th GRADE!!! Where has the time gone?!? I thought that maybe since he was older he wouldn't want me to walk him to class anymore, that he would just ask if I could drop him off at the curb.

Well guess what....he asked me if I would walk him, like I always do. When we arrived at his class he was extremely discouraged to learn that there are 14 girls in his class and only 9 boys. He wanted me to have his class changed right then and there. It was not fair that there were more girls than boys. I say give him about 4 or 5 more years and he'll be overjoyed if that happens again.

Lori Anne started the 2nd grade.

Today was a great start to the new year. They got right up and dressed and were excited to go. I'll bet that attitude is not going to hold on much longer....I'll give it a week, tops =o)

Beach Trip

2009-08-05T14:13:00.008-05:00

We started our vacation off by taking a ride across Mobile Bay on the ferry.While on the ferry Lane had to go to the bathroom. I told him he would have to hold it until we reached the condo. By the time we drove off the ferry he was squirming around having to go really bad. I asked him if he wanted me to pull over so that he can run behind a tree. Normally he would say no but as I mentioned earlier, he had to go really bad. When he got back into the car I started to drive off but my car would not move....I was stuck!

A nice lady stopped by to help. She wanted us to try and push the car out. I knew there was NO way that would happen....lol. Then a man and his son stopped. They were very nice as well and tried everything they could think of to help, including using some of the kids sand toys to dig sand out from under the wheels. A few others stopped by and then some left to get straps for us to pull it out with. Finally we (actually they) succeeded in pulling me out. Thank God for Good Samaritans. The worst part is that our condo wasn't a 1/2 mile further down the road. If he could have only held it a little longer........lol.

Upon arriving at the condo Lori Anne quickly declared that this was her room and that she was sleeping there the whole time......

Lane, in typical male fashion, headed for the couch and remote and said that he was sleeping here the whole time....... Could this possibly mean that I would have a room all to myself? That I wouldn't have to share with anybody? I was overjoyed! But all good things are not meant to be. By the end of the evening Lori Anne had decided that she would be "really freaked out" if she had to sleep in that room all by herself and Lane quickly chimed in with "it's my turn to sleep by Mama". So we ended up rotating one child sleeping by me and the other sleeping beside the bed on the floor. Everyone was happy with the arrangements.....ahem, everyone except me, that is.

After we were all settled in we headed back out where they enjoyed catching crabs..... Catching waves......

Relaxing in the hot tub....

Swimming in the pool.....
Burying themselves in sand.....

Playing tennis......
Playing golf.......
Fishing......And general goofing off.....

Then we loaded back onto the ferry and headed back home. I thought it was amusing to see these seagulls....they also rode the ferry the whole way from Ft. Morgan to Dauphin Island. Lazy birds! And they didn't have to pay a fare =o)

Curls

2009-07-23T09:19:00.002-05:00

Lori Anne has been wanting curly hair. In fact she says she wants it to be curly forever. Last night we tried rolling it. Of course it took longer than 5 minutes to roll which in her opinion is an eternity. She looks like an ole granny with all these rollers in her hair.
This morning when we took the rollers out, I don't think it was quite how she expected it to be. She said it was nice and she'd wear it but she wants her hair to be straight again. Hmmm........sounds like something I would say =o)

2009-07-22T13:42:00.002-05:00

Yesterday afternoon Lane wanted to draw on the sidewalk with chalk. This is something Lori Anne does on a regular basis but not Lane so I was kinda surprised. He drew the sweetest picture of our family.
He asked me to draw with him. As you can tell, his drawing abilities are much better than mine =o)

2009-07-21T16:52:00.002-05:00

My Stick Family from WiddlyTinks.com

I found this website today and decided to create our family. Ok,ok I know I was at work but there was nothing to do. Is that still considered goofing off?

"not MY child" Monday

2009-07-20T13:13:00.004-05:00

McMama's blog is hosting a "Not My Child" Monday. I've never played along before but thought I'd give it a shot.

**** Lori Anne did not call me at work one day last week and tell me that she had just finished brushing the dog and cats teeth but not to worry because she didn't use my toothbrush. She did not then hang up before I could ask her whose toothbrush she did use.

**** Lane did not call me crying because his aunt wanted to take him to McDonald's for lunch and then to the park to play afterwards. What child would actually want to get a happy meal and play at the park? He was not whining saying that he just wanted to lay around and watch tv and that Lori Anne always got to do what ever she wanted to do and he never gets to do what he wants to do, that it was too hot outside, etc,etc,etc.....

**** Lori Anne did not loudly proclaim in the middle of refreshments at vbs that that boy was being "Mucho Naughty". She does not think that she can speak spanish fluently and I have not had to tell her repeatedly that we can only speak spanish at home and not in public

That's it for this weeks edition, I'm sure we'll have more to report next week (if I actually keep up with it) =o)

VBS

2009-07-20T09:31:00.003-05:00

We had VBS at church this past week. Our theme was spiritual battle. During crafts the kids made their own armour. The helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth,
The shield of faith, the sword of the spirit, and shoes of the gospel.
They learned how to spiritually arm themselves. I hope these lessons stick with them for a long time to come.

4th of July...part II

2009-07-09T13:17:00.003-05:00

Melissa snapped these photos last Saturday. I just saw them today and had to share. I think they're hilarious!
Especially this one of Lane.... what exactly is he doing? =o)

World's Best Son

2009-07-08T09:19:00.003-05:00

Last night before we went to bed Lane asked if I'd wake him up early. I told him of course I would but didn't he want to sleep late. No mam he said, I want to get up early so I can fix your breakfast. Of course I told him that he didn't have to do that but he insisted.

This morning I went to wake him up and asked if he wanted to keep on sleeping or get up. He told me that he still wanted to get up early. Awww, is this not the sweetest kid in the world! He wanted to fix scrambled egg sandwiches. Since I usually have plain ole raisin bran in the mornings, this was a treat. He scrambled the eggs.

Got the bread slathered with mayo.

We sat down together, just the two of us, and had breakfast. (That's his lemonade that he chose to drink, I had milk). We always have supper together but very rarely breakfast because I'm rushing about trying to get everyone ready, so this was a very special treat. See, I told you he was the World's Best Son =o)

4th of July

2009-07-06T11:32:00.002-05:00

We had lots of fun on Saturday. We started it off by watching the new Ice Age movie (highly recommend it), then it was on to the Leaf River for a quick swim (thanks to Lori Anne who refused to follow proper water safety guidelines) and a visit with family, and then we travelled back to Hattiesburg where they took another swim at the pool and where we got to catch up with some more friends and family.

My Weekend Project

2009-07-01T11:19:00.005-05:00

This weekend I hung these prints up in my dining room (please excuse the photos, they're not showing alot of detail). I ordered the prints off of eBay and bought the frames from Wal-Mart. The frames came with a white mat but it looked really blah with the pictures. After looking for and pricing new mats I came up with the idea to spray paint the ones I already had. What did I have to lose? I was going to toss these anyway so I decided to give it a try.
I really liked the end result and I bet you wouldn't even know they had been spray painted unless I told you. The biggest pain was getting them hung up evenly. (I'm not going to tell how many nail holes are behind those frames....lol).

And just in case you've been wondering what Rex has been up to...... all I can say is poor Rex. Yesterday he was wearing a t-shirt, under wear and shoes and then somehow he managed to end up in Lori Anne's doll house. I'm pretty sure he had a little help (ok, a LOT of help) with these things =0)

No, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth

2009-06-25T08:46:00.003-05:00

I know I haven't posted in a while but we really haven't had a lot going on. With summer here it seems as if things have slowed down for us a good bit. Yesterday when I came home from work I found Lori Anne dressed like this. It's not what I had laid out for her. Well, I did lay out the skirt but the sweater, tshirt and gloves..... no way. The first thing she asked was where her pants were and the second thing she asked was "Don't I look good". Hmmmmmm................
While his little sister was inside dressing for a snow storm, Lane was outside cooling off from the 100+ degree weather on the slip and slide. He wanted me to get on with him but the last time I tried the ground was a lot harder than it used to be when I was a kid =o)

USM Football Camp

2009-06-08T11:31:00.003-05:00

Lane participated in Football camp this weekend at USM. I dropped him off on Friday and picked him up Sunday.
I packed his suitcase. Ironed his clothes and folded them just so.

I instructed him to take a shower every night and not to forget to brush his teeth.

Can you imagine my surprise when I discovered...........

That he decided to wear the SAME shirt 3 days in a row.

His reasoning? He really liked that shirt.

He came home with a jammed finger that was swollen twice its normal size and had to be put in a splint. He was sunburned. His legs hurt so bad he could hardly get out of the car. And have I mentioned that he wore the same shirt 3 days in a row. But despite all this he claims he had a GREAT time and wants to go back again......go figure. =o)

To Grandma's House We Go

2009-06-08T11:05:00.003-05:00

Lori Anne and I went to visit my Grandmother this weekend. She only lives about 30 minutes away but I hardly ever get over to see her. Shame on me! Uncle Bill was there too. He has the amazing ability to get my children riled up more than anyone else I know. It probably takes him about 5 seconds to get them bouncing off the walls.
Lori Anne snapped this photo of me and Grandma. She did a pretty good job and it was hard to get the camera away from her. I had pictures of everything on my camera =o)

End of the year ball party

2009-06-05T14:37:00.003-05:00

Lane had his end of the year baseball party last night at Elks Lake Lodge. The kids enjoyed swimming the the pool.
I realized that I didn't get a picture of Lane's trophy (it was very nice and unusual, btw) but I did get a picture of their cake. One of the kids grandmothers made this. I thought it turned out great! Wish I had a talent like that =o)

Move Over Martha Stewart

2009-06-03T12:12:00.002-05:00

I've been wanting to have the seats on my dining room chairs recovered for a while now (you really don't want to see a before picture). I looked and looked for fabric and finally found some I liked. There was only one problem.... it was over $20 a yard, yikes! A few weeks ago I was in TJ Maxx and came across a table cloth that I thought would work. If you'll notice below my sample fabric is laying on top of the table cloth material and they really are pretty similar. I decided to improvise the $16.99 table cloth for the fabric and I'm very happy with the out come.
Ok, Ok.... so Martha probably would have designed the fabric herself and had it made from the finest hand dyed material in some quaint village in a country overseas. But mine is water resistant and stain resistant so you really can't beat that, especially with my two messy children.

I have this container that someone gave me a while back. It's glass and it kinda looks like there's air bubbles in the glass. What can I do with it? Do I put a large candle in there with something at the base of it, flowers, what? Please help =o)

Swing set fun

2009-06-01T11:56:00.003-05:00

I'm pretty sure this isn't the proper way to play on a swing set. Little sister decided to show us the cool tricks that she could do. Big brother, as big brothers generally do, said that was nothing! He could do that. No big deal!
Big brother tried and tried. First it was the shoes, then it was something else, and something else after that. Finally he admitted defeat. I guess there are some things a little sister can do that a big brother can't do after all! =o)

Memorial Day Weekend

2009-05-26T11:02:00.003-05:00

This weekend we visited my cousin Kelly and his wife Libby at their home just outside of Huntsville, Al in New Market. They own this restaurant, New Market Bar-B-Q. If you are ever in the area you really need to stop by. Their food is delicious.

The whole way there all the kids talked about was "working" in the restaurant. Lane loaded drinks into the cooler along with some other things he did. (I'm not even going to mention how he and Kelly snuck off on Saturday afternoon and went fishing while the women worked the shop.)

One of Lori Anne's jobs was putting sauce into these little plastic cups (didn't get a pic of it) and snapping the lids on. She giggled EVERY time a lid snapped on. She probably filled maybe 50 of them and she laughed EVERY time....it was so funny.

One of the flowers Libby has planted outside.

On Sunday we visited the US Space and Rocket Center.

The kids had so much fun checking everything out.

They also offered some rides you could ride on. Because of the height restrictions they could only ride this one and one other. This one was their favorite and they rode it over and over and came back and rode it some more.
We spent about 4 hours here and didn't really do everything. There was so much information to be read but of course they didn't have the time to slow down and read anything. We'll certainly go again, maybe when they're a little older they'll get more out of it. Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Lori Anne's Awards

2009-05-22T15:03:00.003-05:00

Lori Anne had an Awards Day today in her classroom. She received two awards. One for Spelling and one from the Principal for Citizenship. Great job Lori Anne, way to go!

Field Day

2009-05-22T14:30:00.008-05:00

Lanes class participated in field day yesterday. They split the class into 2 teams and then they competed against each other in several different categories, there was lots of water involved. He came home telling about all the fun he had and declared that dodge ball was his favorite event of all. (I never remember having days like this in school.

Class Shirt

2009-05-22T13:32:00.003-05:00

Lori Anne's class painted t-shirts last week and wore them to school yesterday.
I think they turned out really cute. Lori Anne's hand prints are in the middle and her classmates and teachers thumb prints surround it. She was pleased with the outcome and liked it so much she wanted to sleep in it last night too.

Luau

2009-05-20T14:56:00.004-05:00

Lane's class had an end of the year luau today.
Very cute decorations......

and very yummy food, complete with a chocolate fountain.

Lane and one of his classmates ( ahem.... ;o) ). Showing off a pinata they made. This one is a pineapple, there were several other ones that the class made as well.

3rd Grade Awards Program

2009-05-19T13:01:00.003-05:00

Today was Lane's 3rd Grade Awards Program. He earned 2 awards. One for All A's and another for Citizenship in Excel. Way to go Lane, I'm so proud of you!

Field Trip

2009-05-14T10:11:00.004-05:00

Lori Anne had a field trip yesterday to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center in Gulfport. I can't believe we live a little over an hour away and had never visited before. She had so much fun (as the following pictures will show). Our first stop was the Train Depot for tickets. All Aboard!

Next she took a plane ride to Mexico where she sampled some of the local cuisine.......

And met this burro.

Then she went to Paris for tea and cake.

We then stopped by the Market to shop for groceries.

Lori Anne helped produce a cooking show for the local TV station.

Forcasted the weather.

And performed an outdoor segment demonstrating the proper use of a kayak.

She was then asked to captain a shrimp boat.

And finished up the day by waitressing at an outdoor cafe.

The day was a huge success, we can't wait to go back!

AR Skating Party

2009-05-12T12:33:00.003-05:00

Students who earned a certain number of Accelerated Reader points for the 3rd and 4th 9 weeks were treated to a skating party today at Oak Grove Skating Rink. Lori Anne qualified for the reward and since the rink is within walking distance of my office I had to sneak over and take a few pictures.

Yes, my 7 year old is sucking on a pacifier....lol. These pacifiers light up and flash and almost all the kids HAD to have one.
A few falls while skating, the funniest part was watching her get back up =o)
And what skating trip would be complete without a trip to the snack bar for some freshly made cotton candy and a chocolate yoohoo (YUCK.... I can't believe she actually enjoyed that combination). All in all the trip was a blast and she had lots of fun.

A Great Buy

2009-05-05T10:18:00.002-05:00

Lately I have been doing a little updating to the house. A few weeks ago I painted the living room (notice the new color in the background) and since I had moved all the furniture out I decided it was a good opportunity to wax the floors as well (notice the shine). WARNING........if you paint rooms or wax floors make sure the area is properly ventilated (even though it may not be recommended on the instructions and even though you don't even read the instructions until after you've finished and you begin noticing side effects). It's no big secret that my hair has blond highlights but what you might not also realize is that my roots are blond as well....LOL. I did not so much as crack a window while doing all this and the result was not pretty at all and included a doctors visit. After rest and medication I am doing much better and learned a valuable lesson in the process.....ventilate =0).

Now I'd like to let you know about the great deal I found. The entertainment center I had was large and literally falling apart. I decided that I wanted something smaller but it had to be cheap because I'm a cheapskate. I looked at Target and found this cabinet. It was originally 250 but on clearance for 170, still too much for me. I looked at Wal-Mart and found one that was 109 and ok but it wasn't really what I wanted and I didn't want to buy it just because it was lower priced. I thought and thought on it and 2 days later I went back to Target. I had decided that since it was on clearance and that there was only 1 left that I would talk to a manager and see if they would discount it any. I walked back to the aisle it was on and it wasn't there. WHAT!?! I scanned a couple other aisles and still couldn't find it. I saw an associate and asked where MY cabinet was. She said that they had cleared all the clearance stuff off the aisles and moved them to another location. I was off in search of my cabinet and when I found it guess what! It had been marked down again to the bargain price of 60!!! I was so thrilled! As many of you know these things do not come assembled, so guess who put it together all by their self, yep....that would be me =0)

College, maybe?

2009-04-29T10:46:00.003-05:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm thinking I may possibly go back to school. This has been something I've always regretted not doing, something I've always wanted to finish. Once upon a time the plan had been that when Lori Anne started school that I would be able to return too. Well, things don't always go like we plan =0). Lately I've been thinking on it more and more. So I ask that you pray that if it's meant to be that God will begin to open doors and if it's not then that He'll take away my desire to attend. "What do I want to be when I grow up?", you may ask. Well, this is something I've struggled with too. I'd thought about becoming a teacher because I'd be able to spend more time with the kids and have summers off, etc... I'd thought about maybe respiratory therapy or some other 1 or 2 year program because I would be able to get my schooling out of the way quickly. But the more I thought on these things the more I realized that I just didn't want to do either of them....it just wasn't for me. Soooooo, I think that I want to eventually earn a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. Due to my current circumstances certain things would have to fall into place for that to happen. I have to work. And (because of a recent conversation with Lane) night classes are out. For the time being that leaves online courses as my only option. Thankfully my job is pretty laid back and I've already gotten permission from the owner that if I do begin school I can work on my classes here at the office (of course I realize that work comes first but like I said earlier......my job is very laid back so this is my best option so far). I know that there are lots of online class options but I don't know if they'll be what I need to take. Honestly, there is so much I don't know about this whole process. The first step I'm going to take is filling out my application for FAFSA. If anybody has any advice for the second step (or just tell me what the second step is =0)) I'd be happy to hear it. I guess I feel like I've just been kind of floating lately and I feel the need to start paddling. Maybe this isn't the route I'm supposed to take, who knows? I guess time will tell. Keep me in your prayers.

Uncle Bill's Gift

2009-04-24T10:00:00.003-05:00

My Uncle Bill dropped by my office the other day and gave me this for Lane. It is a Marlin lever action 22. This is the second gun he has given Lane, the other was a 16 gauge shotgun that is still new in the box. Those are not made anymore and are somewhat of a collectible.
It's still a bit too big and heavy for him now but as fast as he seems to be growing, I know it won't be long before he's able to manage it just fine. And just in case you're wondering he is completely supervised at all times when handling or firing a weapon.

Mother/Son Bonding

2009-04-22T09:41:00.009-05:00

This past Friday Lane and I decided we wanted to do something fun together.This is what we came up with.

OK, before you ask.....NO my son is not wearing eye make-up (though I did question that myself when I first spotted him). They had a spring carnival at school on Friday and they did some face painting. When he closes his eyes it is supposed to look like another set of eyes. Lane informed me that this really freaked the other kids out. I let him choose where we were going to eat. He went back and forth between about 10 different restaurants and McDonald's. Little Tokyo's Hibachi Grill won (I really thought it was going to be McDonald's). He picked the lobster, it was very good and we always enjoy watching them cook.

Lane and I waiting for the game to start. (Are the eyes freaking you out?)

Southern Miss players getting ready to go on the field.

Not long after the game started Lane left me to see if he could catch a foul ball. I sat by myself for the rest of the game =0)

There were 2 home runs during the game, both by Bo Davis. It was pretty cool watching them sail over the scoreboard.
My little Southern Miss fan.

After the game they let the kids on the field to meet the players. Lane didn't catch a foul ball and one of the players noticed he didn't have one, so he went and got him one and signed it. I thought that was very sweet and Lane sure did appreciate it! He took the ball to school on Monday so he could show it off and tell everyone he went to the USM game.

A New Addition

2009-04-14T08:46:00.002-05:00

We have added a new addition to our family. Meet Twinkle, previously know as Montee, Roscoe and Yogi. And even though it looks as if he's smiling....he's not. This cat has not stopped meowing ever since we got him--it's constant, even Lane is beginning to be annoyed. But like any proud parent Lori Anne thinks Twinkle does no wrong and is completely in love with him.

Celebrating Easter

2009-04-13T12:06:00.012-05:00

We celebrated Easter at home this year. We attended our Sunrise Service at 7 am and our regular service at 10. This left us with a whole afternoon to hunt eggs to our hearts content.

We had 4 dozen eggs. There were glittered eggs, marbleized eggs,
regular eggs, stickered eggs, etc.... We had so much fun decorating them!

If you know Lori Anne very well you know that she LOVES chocolate. She was very impressed with this giant bunny and told everyone she came in contact with all about it. I looked on the back of the box and it said that the bunny was 10 servings. I know she had to have eaten at least five of those yesterday =o)

Lane finds an egg.

Lori Anne finds another one.

Even Rex found a couple we had hidden on the ground.

We hope you all had a Happy Easter!

Play Ball

2009-04-06T12:44:00.012-05:00

After 2 cancelled games due to bad weather, Lane finally got to play his first baseball game on Saturday. This is his first year of 9 & 10 year old kid-pitch. The game is played a little differently than we're used to but we're learning it and he's having so much fun.
Way to watch that ball!!! He doesn't swing at junk!

He's fixing to steal a base. This is the first year they've been able to do that and he loves it!

Isn't this the CUTEST ball player you've ever seen =o)

Final score 19 - 3. We won!

Had to include a picture of Lori Anne. She's swinging on her tire horse. She's had that thing for

3 or 4 years now and still plays on it all the time.

And a picture of our ferocious guard dog, Rex.

More carrots maybe?

Since February all three of us have had to get glasses. It started with Lori Anne's speech teacher thinking that she may be having some vision trouble. I took her in to see the eye doctor and sure enough she needed glasses. Then Lane's teacher called and said she had noticed that he seemed to be having a little trouble focusing on some of his school work. I decided that since I had to take him in I might as well get my eyes checked too. And what do you know, I needed some as well. The kids only have to use theirs for school work and reading. I, on the other hand, need mine for driving (only at night and in unfamiliar areas). So here we are showing off our new glasses.

I've finally decided to join the blogging world. Be patient with me while I figure all this out =o)
