Chloe's Ticker

I found this ticker to countdown Chloe's arrival. I have it copied on the bottom of the blog page.

My Little Valentines

These three were just too cute for their Valentine's parties at school today. Of course Cass did not go to 'school' but she had to match. A fun box from Nana & Pops arrived just in time to deck them out and fill me with yummy Thin Mints. Thank you Nana & Pops.

What's One More?

My standard answer now to the children's requests of things they want is "we'll have to see and talk about it later." Hopefully much later. Long before we discovered that we were expecting a fourth child, we promised Colton that he could have a dog for his 5th birthday. We are at 22 days and counting. The dog arrived two days ago. Nathan is not here to help, so why not add a 6 week old miniature schnauzer to the picture. 'Little Boy' as they are calling him until Daddy comes home to name him is adjusting well to life at the Linos. Colton is so proud! Campbell has mixed emotions and Cassidy just wants to pull his tail.

We have the greatest of intentions with this dog and his caregiver - Colton. We will strive to teach him responsibility and the many things that go with it. Of course I am the one training both of the little guys right now. They are both quite cute together and I pray they have a fast and lasting companionship.

Hail in Atascocita

I did not even know we were expecting a rain storm...........but here is the hail we got in our short storm this evening during the Super Bowl.

New Day, New Design

Today, I had a lazy day on the computer. My children played with Daddy and I spent quality time teaching myself a new trick........changing the design of my blog. No more boring blogger templates. Hope you like it - it sure kept by brain engaged with something other than The Wiggles! Now that I know how to do it, I may change it more often.

Birthday Not So Bash

When you get to my age - no, it's not that old - and you are so busy with preschoolers, the big birthday bash goes out the window. Colton asked me on my birthday when we were going to eat the cake. I asked him if he had a cake. He was so surprised that there was no cake. Not to worry, we had birthday dinner with Granny and Grandpa a few days later and Colt, Cam and I devoured Chili's Molten Chocolate Cake pretty quickly. Yummy! Thank you Granny and Grandpa.

The Fourth is the Third

Even though most people already know because my husband announced it on his blog first, we found out this week that we are having another girl. Only new news is that I am the one with the pictures. Enjoy! This makes boy, girl, girl, girl. And no, we are not planning on trying for another boy :)
