There is a lady in my office who always keeps a large basket of candy on her desk. It is always filled with an assorted variety of Jolly Ranchers & Life Savers. It fulfills all of our sweeth tooths and has become a magnet to us all. Yesterday... I watched as a student grabbed a piece of candy and a huge smile came across his face. Wow, what joy candy can bring us all!!

What is your favorite candy? Here are a few of mine:

Jolly Ranchers

Shock Tarts
Airheads
Starburst (in particular the red & pink ones)
Lemonheads

WarHeads

& Chocolate, Chocolate, Cholcolate (Whatchamacallit's, MilkWay Dark, Dove Dark Chocolates, Peanut Butter M&M's & Whoppers)

The SANDMAN....

Do any of you remember the SandMan? My parents used to have this picture of this mythical man who would sprinkle sand into a child's eyes to help them fall asleep.

Well the SandMan must have visited Max last night. He slept from 7:30 pm to 6:30 am this morning! I was amazed! He sleep all night... which gave me some incredible, much needed shut eye.

My husband used to tease me because before Max came into our lives...I would get so giddy to go to bed every night. I just loved to sleep, sounds like someone else in our family... uuummm Big Daddy...

Now that we have a 4 month year old son, I truly cherish any and all sleep that I do get.

Did you know that adults require on average 8 - 8.5 hours of sleep every night. Before Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, people slept around 10 hours at night.

Here's to more sleep for all of us....!!! To All a GOOD NIGHT!

PS. This is a lovely picture from over Christmas break of Max & I sleeping. You caught us didn't you!

~~Finally, It's Happened to Me!!~~

I did it... I finally decided to start my own blog! Yeah! It's been on my "want to" list for a while now... I just has an awlful fear that I may never be able to update it... but here we go..I'm up for the challenge. What better way to share my life with all of you...of whom some are now much further away now that we live in beautiful California. Speaking of beautiful..... we are now entering into Spring here in Fairfield. Our spring is Feb.-April here. This is our rainy season and the foothills are turning a gorgeous bright green color. It looks a lot similar to those pictures you might see of Ireland and/or Scotland.

Well... soon to come are more exciting snapshots of my life and the important things in it, including my wonderful husband, Mark, my awesome son, Maximus aka "Badouche", "the Bambino" and Max Man, as well as our involvement with our church, Remnant, friends, family and the ever so infamous Rocky Road Balboa. See You Next Time!
