Memories
Going through old pictures always brings me to tears. I struggle between being glad my kids are getting older to wanting them to stay small. I have many memories of them as littler kids than they are now. I often forget what they used to look like. The new picture above melts my heart, I can not believe she is about to be a 3rd grader and almost 9 years old!

Karate Tourney!
Both the boys decided to compete in their Dojo's tournament this last weekend...BTW you should ask Nic to say the word tournament, it is pretty funny. Back on subject, the boys both did a Kata and Nic was by FAR the littlest guy there, he was the only white belt and in the picture below you can see how little he was next to his competitors.
Hunter also did a Kata but we all know Hunter is very good at Karate. Hunter placed 2nd in his division and Nic got basically a consolation prize. But the head judge did give him a 8.0, the only kid to get a perfect score. That was very nice of him and we Coleman's appreciate when other people come to our rescue!

Quote of the day
Here is a quote I ran across today and thought I would share...
"Always remember Pooh, you're braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." A.A. Milne
I have got to say that to my kids more often!

Getting old is NOT for sissies!
So here is the picture of me and my new friends...my spectacles. I have never needed glasses and now I have prescriptions reading glasses. I cant even buy cheap ones at the dollar store because each eye is different. I have no idea how to make myself wear these things. But when I do wear them everything is much clearer. Fancy thing about glasses I guess they're supposed to do that! I'm not all terribly upset about these things because I do love how smart I look in these suckers. People will have to listen to me now!!

It better be worth it!
We have been getting our kitchen redone since Easter Sunday. This is how it started...
I asked a friend of ours who is also a painter to give me a price on redoing the cabinets (because they are ugly). He comes over gives us a great price and mentions offhandedly that if we were interested in redoing the counter tops that we might do that before the cabinets. So after talking to Scott we decide that we should get new counter tops (granite of course). After many days of debating and arguing and fighting etc., I veto his granite counter tops and hire a tile guy that is very good and very reasonable (thank you, Shelby). We talk to him about replacing the tile and he mentions offhandedly that if we are thinking at all about replacing the garden window that replacing it before he puts the tile in is a great idea because they will have to damage the tile to get it out. So after many days of debating and arguing and fighting we decide to get the window replaced. Needless to say this little kitchen update has taken on a life of its own. We have been without a functioning kitchen since Easter, that is when Scott started taking the tile off. We are not quite finished yet. We replaced the garden window, had new tile counter tops put in, new stove top, new sink and faucet, new range hood, we are currently having the cabinets re stained. Hopefully, we will be completely finished by this weekend. If not,then the men in the white coats are going to take me away to the padded rooms! I will post before and after pics as soon as it is completely finished, that is of course if they allow cameras where I will be.
