From "Desiderata"

You are a child of the universe no less that the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God - From "Desiderata"

My little book

I lost my little book - with my WHOLE LIFE in it! I've looked everywhere. I looked in Lost and Found at Smith's and the ballpark. I looked in my car, Cody's car, in and under the couch and chairs, behind the dresser, and under the bed. I was frantic. This book contains:
- all the phone numbers and address of my loved ones
- loved ones birthdays and anniversaries
- important numbers like divorce file #, U or Phx student #, FASB certification system #
- my month to month budget
- the car mileage and mpg
- a running grocery and "Want" list
- my Christmas list
- notes I take for self-encouragement and words to live by
- a list of people to pray for
- a list of books to read and movies to see

Yep- my WHOLE LIFE. I decided to fast yesterday to find my little book and also to show my gratitude for all the recent blessings in my life.
This morning I was discouraged after taking a double look everywhere I could think of. When I got to work this morning, I looked around my desk and in my cupboards, bookcases - and then - THERE IT WAS! It was tucked behind my big book of policies and memos. What a relief -- And just another thing to be thankful for. My blessing and gratitude grow.~

Laney

My new grandaughter born Friday, September 3rd, 2010 about 2  in the afternoon. 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long. She has the same initials as me LSO. She is adorable!

I got to hold her when she was just a couple of hours old.

I got to babysit the boys all day Friday and stayed with them Friday night. They are sooo sweet. We watched their new movie Monster's Inc., played at the park, had ice cream cones, and played Legos.

Cody's family, their friends the Bucanans, Jim, and I went to the Bee's game the night before.

The baby is home and the boys are camping with G & G Jensen for the holiday weekend, which gives Kim and Cody time to settle in with the baby.

Here is Laney trying to open her eyes after those nasty drops they put in newborn's eyes.
