Five Things Friday

Five Things That Happened This Past Week That Made Me Smile

1. I'm sure all parents go through with this, but earlier in the week both the girls seemed to be calling "Mommy" every 5 seconds it seemed. It was really wearing my patience. So Samantha decided to say Mommy one more time right as it was time to sit down for lunch, to which I replied with a very calm "Yes, Samantha?" Samantha's response? "You're my best friend Mommy. Thank you for making my sandwich for lunch". This was of course followed by a big hug.


2. Samantha was invited to her first birthday party. A friend of hers from school sent her an invitation yesterday. Sam was SO excited to receive a piece of mail in the mail box. Of course, now she won't stop talking about it.


3. My training for my AWBC walk in 4 months is going well. I am already more than halfway to my required amount that I need to raise in order to walk. I know it's only January, but I am really looking forward to the warmer weather so I can hit the pavement. Jeremy set up a nice area downstairs in our basement for the treadmill. So, now walking 4 miles on a treadmill is tortuous, but not so bad when I have streaming Netflix on the iPad ; ) (To make a donation, or keep track of my progress, visit my Avon page.)


4. It's still early in the year, but our photography business is already showing signs of being another busy year! We've scheduled some weddings, and have crossed into some new territory. Next Thursday night (1/19) Jeremy, myself and our friend Jeremiah will be holding our first photography exhibit in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Then, sometime next month, one of our previous clients from last year is running her own bridal expo in New Hampshire and has invited Jeremy to be a part of it. We're so excited for these opportunities.


5. We received a nice visit from my brother in law this morning as he was driving back to college. It was unfortunate that he couldn't stay longer, but some time is better than no time at all. The Madore-ables enjoyed seeing their uncle.
