Both of our families, and lots of close friends are hundreds of miles away - so this is a great way to keep everyone updated and letting them have a front row seat in watching our kids as they grow up!

It's baseball season and PT's hair was so long but wouldn't comb over from a part so the easy thing to do was to go get a "baseball buzz" :) Olivia also got her bangs trimmed. We are ready for summer!<br />
<br />

As for me and the girls, we treated ourselves to lunch at our favorite "Mexico" Saturday afternoon while the boys were away. Then went shopping for lunch box food at Sam's Club and the grocery.<br />

Nora can't wait to take her land form project to school tomorrow. Isn't it every kid's dream to create an erupting volcano in 5th grade? :c)<br />
Ta-Da!! This photo is for <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1198196293" href="https://www.facebook.com/david.minor.336">David Minor</a> who's in West Virginia this week.

We wanted you to see it Daddy.<br />
<br />
I wish I'd known on Monday that she'd actually chosen Mauna Loa - the world's most MASSIVE volcano. Didn't realize that until reading her written report tonight! We would have used a tall chicken stock can and made this thing much bigger... with gradual sloping sides. I'm thinking the teacher will deduct points because of the model's size.?<br />

Here's a little peek down into the central vent.... a mixture of baking soda, Jello mix and red Kool-aid. Friday during her presentation she'll add the vinegar with a little liquid hand soap. <br />
<br />
We watched several online videos and only one person used a box of Jello mix... and their lava came out looking chunky. Nora liked that and thought it would help hers to look more lumpy/rocky and different form her classmates. She also put a couple pumps of handsoap into the vinegar which made it foam up really well during our trial runs here at home. Only it didn't look nearly as cool coming out of a regular cup. She can't wait to see it all erupt from the volcano she built!<br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<img alt="Photo: PT wrote his teacher a letter and she texted me a photo of it. She was laughing when she told me about it and said it was the cutest apology letter she's ever received." src="https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/r90/p403x403/10698711_10204412637337893_8078107727262460156_n.jpg?oh=c64c75a0592f03a4b9e9e3298cf13734&oe=548C7FBA" /></div>
Today I volunteered for the first time in Paul Thomas' classroom.<br />
<br />
I helped prepare a math center activity and then started a project for an upcoming Johnny Appleseed unit. <br />
<br />
I will never look at another construction paper project that my child made at school without respecting the poor volunteer who had to prepare and cutout the 24 pieces that my child glued together!!!<br />
<br />
Oh the cutting! Lucky me, I get to cut out 21 bib overalls, 21 shirts, 21 apples, 21 stems.... and who knows what else? I didn't get done, so I will finish up that next time.<br />
<br />
The twins are in 1st grade this year and for the first time are in separate classrooms. Meaning that I don't always hear about "every little thing" that happened at school each day.<br />
<br />
Just before leaving, PT's teacher pulled me aside and told me about how earlier this week while the kids were lining up, she overhear him tell another classmate that she was a dumb teacher.<br />
<br />
She said she bent down face to face and asked him what he had said. She said the dear in the headlights look came over his face and his eyes got SOOOO BIG! She was laughing the whole time she was telling me. Maybe she was laughing at me???? I'm sure my mouth was gaped wide open as I was hearing this play out....maybe I had the same "dear in the headlights look?"<br />
<br />
Paul Thomas was in such shock that he'd been CAUGHT that she said he for the first time was truly speechless!! She suggested that if he couldn't talk to her that maybe he should go get a piece of paper and write her a note. She couldn't find it among all the other papers on her desk to show me before I left yesterday - so she said she'd text me a photo of it when she found it on her desk. <br />
<br />
I'm glad she did - so that I can share here ;) She said it was the cutest apology letter she's ever received. Thankfully she has a good sense of humor!<br />
<br />
In case you're not fluent in "Inventive Spelling" it reads:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<i>"I am sorry for saying you are a dumb teacher. I will never call you a dumb teacher ever again. I have learned my lesson."</i></h3>
<br />
Oh boy. Good thing he's awfully cute!<br />
<br />
<br />

I had been using our new copier/ printer and thought I had an odd paper jam. Searched all over the machine. Then realized that Olivia was snoring on the sofa! lol <br />
<br />
I suppose I'd forgotten what that sounds like since it's been a few years since the kids were home with me all day. Sigh... spontaneous naps are a precious thing. :)<br />

<br />
PT just got home from his second Cub Scout meeting this afternoon and came home with popcorn sales paper and discount cards. Wow, they sure don't waste any time putting these boys to work. He is excited to get out and start selling but first I made him practice his sales pitch. ;)<br />

<br />
There's been a lot going on in our life.... and I know I've totally neglected our family blog. (for way too long) Seems like uploading a few quick photos to facebook is a lot easier for our on the go lifestyle. However I'm not ready to give up. As a matter of fact I plan to play catch up on here and transfer photots over and post date them. To hold me accountable, I actually included our blog addy on our family calling cards that I recently ordered. ---so if your new here, thanks for stopping by :)<br />
<br />
I'd like to one day publish the blog into book form so that years from now, the kids can enjoy all the memories they made. :) So check back again. My goal is to blog weekly at first and then daily.<br />
<br />
Oh and it's not "Love from Indiana" anymore... we actually relocated to Georgia this summer with David taking a job with a new company. So far we're loving it! Catch ya later. :)<br />

Gosh, it sure seems that I've gotten behind in posting before and
blogged about how I desired to be a more regular. Truth is after so
long, it just gets harder and harder to get back into the swing of it
again. The hope of one day "catching up", the guilt of not catching
up... overwhelming.<br />
<br />
The kids keep me running
around like a chicken with my head cut off! Tonight was our first try
at "Family Fun Night" and Paul Thomas was a true Safety Manager's son...
keepin' it safe as we played Jinga! :)<br />

Here's
what I've been busy with today. The twins turned 5
years old Monday - but the party/cookout isn't until this Saturday at my
MIL's home. So that gives me a few days to whip up a special gift from
momma.... yep you guessed it! A Panda Bear quilt for Olivia!</div>
<div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;">
So
here's what the design wall looked like around 3:30pm today! This
pattern is one that "Quilts for Kids" organization uses and it really
goes together fast! Only theirs is 5X6 rows and I wanted mine to be a
little bigger so I made enough that it will be 6 blocks by 7 rows. I
don't want Olivia to outgrow it too soon! Their pattern calls for a 3.5
outer border of the focus fabric, but I'll use a 6.5" size to grow it a
bit more. :) It's gonna look great!</div>

<div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;">
Here's
another of the same pattern and nearly at the same stage of completion
done up in blue, green and yellow. I loved that yellow fabric when I
spotted it on the "Spot the Dot" sale at Hancock's. It was 75% off and
I'm kicking myself for not buying all that was left on that bolt! As I
would have loved to make this one another row wider and longer too, but
couldn't. </div>

and was able to take these first two photos. When we got home and I
noticed Paul Thomas running out to the street as
he *LOVES* to check the mailbox and I thought that was what he was up to - but
today he did something new! <br />

He
tugged and pulled on the garbage can until he had rolled it all the way
up the driveway and put it back into it's usual spot by the garage
door! I snapped a couple photos and even video taped him pulling b/c it
was just so cute! and so surreal that he's growing up so fast!! I
asked him when he was done how he liked it - and he gave a thumbs up and
a sideways thumb, b/c he liked that he was strong enough but didn't
like that the can was smelly. I've never smelt anything when pulling up
the can before. Funny! :P</div>

Summer is suppose to be a time of relaxing, sleeping in, and just doin
whatever you want when you want....right? Well not with my kidos! We had
1 week of lazy days of summer, then as of this week activities have
started and been keeping us busy each day and night! Nora's been going
to "Safety Town USA" school for 2 hours each day and swim lessons each
evening. She will
"graduate" tomorrow night :) </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">15 years ago tonight, David and I said "I Do" to a life together as Man and Wife. We choose 2/21 because both his mom's parents, and dad's parents (both sets of his grandparents) also married on February 21st :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How can time pass so quickly?? How is it that I can remember so much from some of those years, and yet have ave no recollection to some of those years in-between??? I know that it was a long wait for us to become a family - 8 years waiting for our first baby and then, BAM within 3 years we had 3 kids! Life since then has been so fun, and challenging at times, but so worth the wait!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm so thankful God choose David for me and the kids. He is truly a great, great man!! I love him so much. Thanks David for putting up with me this long and being my best friend..... I hope we have many more years together! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to Olivia having my camera in her hands, you can see my reaction after bringing them into the living room and setting them down on the marble coffee table. ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you David!!! You totally caught me off guard and totally surprised me! I've forgotten how long it's been since I received roses, but the feeling is the same as I remember.... I'm a little bit giddy now :D Thanks again honey. I love you always too!</span><br />

It's called Hand
Me Downs and I've made it 100% using cut up men's cotton button down shirts. I just love the colors and the soft texture. It's sure to be a favorite sofa quilt in the future :)<br />

Antoher quilt that I've been working on and is neeeeearly large enough is this one. Although I love our King sized bed... it is a huge task to make quilt for it. Ideally I'd love to have one for each month to change out, but I'll just have to settle for a couple as it takes forever.... and ever!<br />

Did
you see my little "Monkey Helper" in the photo below??? Olivia was so
willing and ready to help hand me pins off my magnetic pin holder Sunday
afternoon. :) (Yes. Yes, I know there are boxes still in the sewing room.....at this point, anything still boxed up is just gonna have to stay that way
until we buy our new home.)</div>

We
only have my 1st ever quilt that I made for David before we married
that we use on our bed and it's not quite wide enough but we make it
work... at the time he had a King size waterbed so hangover amount
wasn't considered - just enough to tuck in each side.... but this one
will fit the bed or ELSE. lol</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Looks like we might FINALLY get a SNOW!!! The kids have been wishing and wishing - and although it did snow during the drive home, New Year's Day, it wasn't enough to cover the ground and it didn't stick around. However the weather man says that snow is on the way tomorrow!!! :) Bring it on!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year, since we are so close to family, we've decided to begin a new tradition and all spend the night at Mimi's & Poppy's home for New Year's Eve. Even David's sister and her kids! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's an exciting rivalry game between University of Kentucky and University of Louisville that starts at Noon so we'll need to be there before the tip off. Not sure the exact plans yet, but I think someone mentioned a game of Monopoly and some movies... and Poppy has several fireworks saved from 4th of July last summer that should light up the neighborhood!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
