I totally forgot to add pictures of Delainey's dance recital which was actually before the Edisto trip (below). Delainey takes a combo. tap, ballet, creative movement and gym class at The Little Gym. She has done this for about 2 years now and LOVES it! I have some video that I will post but I have to convert them from .mov before I can upload (any suggestions??). Anyway, here are the still shots I have.
Our little start accepting her flowers.

Sweet Delainey all ready to perform!
As promised, here are the things for which I am thankful at this moment:
1. A quiet house. Steve is taking D for a daddy/daughter day at EdVenture and Jac is asleep. (Hence I am able to type complete thoughts and update the blog).
2. Steve's "vacation". The Oliver boys have been working their fingers to the bone for Jack Oliver's Pool, Spa and Patio. These last two days have been the only ones Stevie has had off in FOREVER! Although I know he is bored out of his mind and we weren't able to travel anywhere, I really have enjoyed having him home with us.
3. Sweet Verizon customer service people who take pity on us! I don't want to mention any names, but earlier today two of us were in the whirlpool at Gold's Gym and one of us got in with our cell phone in our trunks. Now we have a new Blackberry Curve in our family (and not at retail price!!!)
4. Over the past 2 days I have been able to organize all of the kichen cabinets, mop the hardwood floors, fold and put away all of the laundry, donate a TON of stuff to the Kidney Foundation, and send some stuff to the consignment store. I am so thankful of the downtime I have had to do all of these things. Thankfully, however, the downtime is almost over. The real estate market has picked up FULL FORCE over the last couple of weeks.
5. Finally I am thankful for the aforementioned acceleration in real estate activity. I truly LOVE what I do. I am so fortunate to be able to do most of it from home and enjoy my girls. The most recent 1099 showed that last year was our BEST year in real estate so far and I only expect this year to get better!!! On that note, I will close with a plug.....remember you have until April to buy a new home or first home and receive your $8000 or $6500 tax credit!! What a wonderful opportunity! Call or shoot me an email and I can give you the details!
Until another quiet moment....

SNOW!
Even Buddy the dog is diggin the snow
I can't get up!
I'm going to get you Momma!
There is so much snow and her legs are so short, she literally gets stuck in one place
Snowball throwing queen!
Somewhere in there is Jac
Trying to sled with a cardboard box
Just in case the snow tries to get her while she sleeps
