Please pray...

Hey everyone. Please pray protection and strength for James, Joe (Bryan) and Michael Lee as one of their co-workers was killed today on the job. He was a lineman and was electrocuted while working up on the pole. It's very sobering and scary and shook me up quite a bit. He had a family, 3 kids, and his wife had just had a baby; I can't even imagine getting that call. I know his job is dangerous, but you never want to think about how great the risk is. I'm so proud of my husband and the other guys who've been braving the storm and working countless hours to get everyone's power back on...they're truly heroes.
Update: Sunday - James just got home! yeah!

Max keeps going around, saying "dada?" ....We haven't seen James in a week and we miss him! I'm SO proud of him, working crazy hours relentlessly in the freezing cold! He loves his job and loves that he can help people, and I love that about him!
Way too go, sweetie! Thanks for gettin' our power back on! And Uncle Joe and Michael too!

Okay, people, I need you to tell me what picture you like best. I'm entering Max into the Regis and Kelly's Beautiful Baby Contest (I just want to go to New York! and the prize is college money!), and the deadline is today - so pick your favorite!

Update: The last picture wins! An overwhelming landslide for the smiling Baby Gap picture!!! Thanks everyone! We'll see what happens! I know, I'm a silly mother who thinks her child is stinkin' cute and wants the world to think that too!

Happy New Year!

Wow, 2008, unbelievable! Okay, so I haven't even blogged about Christmas, but I just wanted to let all those people out there who've snubbed my blog because it was too slow to download - i've heard your cry, and fixed it. It should be faster - i've never had a problem, so i had no idea! if you're new to seeing my blog, just click on the archives on the right hand side to see previous blogs and the beginning of max's life. Okay, so I had a Great New Year's - where I worked with Mom for 7 hours straight doing 15 girls' makeup for this fantastic wedding; then my amazing Hubby whisked me away and we celebrated New Year's together for the first time since we've been married! He's always had to work, but not this year! So fun! I'm ridiculously excited about this year and know that things and looking up! Here's to the best year yet, everybody!
