Another book to read on my list of books. I'm already reading four other books. The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox, Dark Visions by L.J. Smith, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by the late Stieg Larsson and Brisinger by Christopher Paolini. I know it is a lot but this mommy needs to keep her brain motivated otherwise it goes to mush and I dont think straight. I'm enjoying them all, I just

She is almost fourteen months old and she can hold her own. I have cared for her in my home since she was six weeks old. I love her like she were one of my own. Her cousins, Connor and James absolutely love her. They love being around her. They can not wait until she is old enough to do all sorts of things such running after them in a game of hide-n-seek. I love you Kayce. -Aunt Jessica

And well I don't think I can ditch my url.  I've held on to it for so long I just don't feel comfortable letting it go.  Nothing But Purple Just wish I could post on it regularly. Since I can post from phone to blogger I will definitely update this blog as much as possible with all sorts of posts from my family to food and pictures. Now I need to change a few things back that I changed earlier.

I will also be importing my childrens blogs. Hahaha and deleting them as well. No need for more than what I can handle. Which has been a lot lately.

You can also go to http://ttassistantztwins.blogspot.com for some funny banter.
