Date with Daddy

Last Thursday, Super Dave took Sissy to the Dads n Daughters Valentine Dance at church. I'm so glad they decided to go; they had a great time. A sweet memory for both of them to treasure. What a great, handsome Daddy and such a sweet, beautiful girl. Momma Wolg






More Pictures from our 2nd Snow

After I posted the pictures from our 2nd snow of the year, which was primarily ice at that point, it snowed the next day. So, finally, I am posting some of the pictures from the 'snow day'. For some, this amount of snow is not impressive, but for North Texas, we'll take it. And in true Texas fashion, it is now in the 70's and 80's...about time to pull out the flip flops again. :)

Second Snow of 2011

Hello from the frozen tundra.
Well, North Texas (as well as most of the US) was hit by a winter storm this week. We got very little snow...mostly sleet and ice. And, very LOW temperatures. So, this storm is NOT FUN to play in like the snow in 2010. It's down right FRIGID. Brrrrr!

The kids have been out of school for 3 days with the 4th tomorrow. And, it's too cold and slick to play outside. So, we've had lots of family togetherness. Super Dave even stayed home for 2 days. Lots of tv, movies and especially the Wii. Although, we had a 2 hour period of time without power. And, more than 24 hours without internet, tv and phone. Withdrawals? INDEED.

We've gone a little stir crazy. We HAD to get out for a bit. So, the kids and I ventured out with some friends today. We went to the mall for lunch and shopping (a.k.a. walking around...get some energy out). My friend was nice enough to drive all of us, albeit at about 10 mph. We made it home, safely and a little poorer. ;)

No pic's of the kids in the ice, I mean snow, yet. But here's few pictures to make you cuddle under a blanket.

Growing Up

Say it isn't so? My little girl is not so little anymore. A couple weeks ago, Sissy went to her first children's retreat at church. In other words, she slept away from home...without her Mom. She's had many sleep overs, but only with family members or close friends.

It feels like she's hitting a milestone. Not just the retreat, but with Sissy out growing her "little girl" things. Part of me is excited to see her grow up and I'm so proud. However, part of me is sad. As we've started getting rid of some stuff in the house, like toys the kids have outgrown. It about brought me to tears as I boxed up baby dolls and princess stuff. Remembering a time past, never to return. But, I'm also looking forward to new adventures and memories together.

Hugs and Kisses to my sweet girl. Momma Wolg

Sissy and her BFF going to the "Whatever" Children's Retreat
Such a sweet friendship...reminds me of my childhood friend "Bye Mom"
She's probably thinking...You can go now Mom.
Nope, can't make me; I'm watching you leave.


Back from the retreat...Sissy had a blast! She's happy, tired and dirty. And, she's ready for summer camp now.
