Cute Claire

I finally caught Claire smiling on camera. I know, shameless parental boasting photos, but who else is going to tell the world how wonderful our kids are? Anyway, for more photos you can always visit my personal blog - web.mac.com/timmiller and then click on the blog link. Love you all.

Christmas Cactus

Several years ago Heather gave me a start to a Christmas Cactus from Grandma Bee. It has grown quite a bit over the last 3 years from the 4 leaves it started with. I am very proud of my plant. Before this winter it has only ever had 1 flower before, so we were really excited to get home from Christmas break and find the plant full of buds (If you look really closely you might be able to see some of the tiny pink buds). I thought all of these 40 or so buds would become flowers, but it turned out that most of them just fell off onto the floor, but we did get about 8 -12 flowers. It was beautiful to me.

Tapes?

Does anyone really use tapes anymore? I would guess most of you don't even own a tape player.

I found that I have a collection of tapes that I never listen to anymore or have never listened to in the first place. For some reason I have had a hard time throwing them away though. I feel like they may be important or useful or that someday I will wish I had them to listen to. It's time to finally give up and get rid of them and I have the perfect way to do it: a little girl. She demolished this tape tonight and had the time of her life. She thinks this stuff is so cool. I like to let her destroy some things - aka play with them - so she is okay when I have important things and have to tell her 'no", or "don't touch", or "that needs to stay", or "not for babies."
