  1. We both have big brothers and no sisters!

    And this made my heart big for you <3

    3 – The number of children I always wanted

    3 – The number of children I have. 🙂

    Have fun in Texas my frined!

  3. WOW! Six years and almost 40,000 tweets?! Holy moley, you’ve got a lot to say! 🙂

    I also had 3 brothers, and always wished for a sister (or two). I also always knew I wanted 4 kids and now have 4 kids. I think our state numbers and address numbers are pretty close, too. DUring the summer my bedtime is close to yours, but during the school year…yeesh. I aim to be in bed (and hopefully, asleep) by 10:15. If I don’t get somewhere near 8 hours of sleep, I can’t function too well (with all of the middle of the night childrens’ needs, you know).

    I’m glad you did this! Thanks for linking up, Elaine!

  4. I so desperately wanted a sister, but wasn’t smart enough to have an imaginary one!!!
    😉

    Love your list and so amazed and excited by your photography news.

    XOXOXOXO
    MISS YOU!

  6. Pies and ice cream… Now I want some!
    I always wished I had an older sister. I wanted someone “cool” to borrow clothes and jewelry and make up from!

  10. That was fun! And I so want to hear the story about the dog!

    Have a fabulous time in Texas for Thanksgiving and eat some peacan pie for me (I still haven’t made the recipe you sent me like 4 years ago!).

  12. You better eat a Texas size bowl of ice cream while you are there for Thanksgiving. That is way too long to go without ice cream. You broke my heart a little. 😉

    Hope you have a safe trip!!! Enjoy the time with your family. Can’t wait to see some pictures!

  16. 22- the pounds of turkey that will be in my oven on Thursday.
    18- the number of people around my table.
    2- the number of hours it took to get all the homework done in the house tonight.
    1- the number of kids that missed the buss after school.
    3945- the number of times I had to bite my tongue and not yell at the kids this afternoon.
    2.5- the number of hours until the kids go to bed.
    4- the number of tv shows I’m excited to watch tonight.
    200- the number of cocktails I’m having tonight. 😉
    1- the number of days until Todd comes home. 🙂

  20. I don’t even think I knew what a blog was 6 years ago! That’s so awesome. And, I haven’t eaten ice cream in at least that many days as well. It’s pretty sad actually. People shouldn’t have to forgo daily ice cream. Why can’t they make a metabolism boosting, weight loss ice cream that tastes exactly like the delicious belly-fat creating sort? Why? It’s 2012 for crying out loud!

  22. 6 years blogging! Happy Blogoversary to you! What a lovely picture of your family and I’ve loved reading all these posts. I too aim to be in bed by 11pm and end up in bed closer to midnight. Why is that so hard?!

  23. laughing about your 4 imaginary sisters! I had 1 and always imagined a set of twin baby brothers. Now 5 is my favorite number- the number of kids God has graced our family with- no twins, but I do have a set of brothers to love on as a mom and 3 sweet sisters to add to the fun 🙂 Blessings on your trip!
