YAY. I am beyond excited for my little Reese girl to get to do something so amazing. Matt and I were both so fortunate to go on great vacations as kids and we want to provide the same experiences for Reese. As I have mentioned before, I HATE long car trips, so we will be flying. We are planning on going in June and celebrating my birthday there! How fun! We plan on staying on site, but at a Value Resort rather than a really expensive one. We do plan to treat Reese to a Breakfast with the Princesses! She will be in hog heaven!! **************************************************************** Other news: Tomorrow starts a new Bible Class quarter! That always makes me happy. I am teaching the BIG kids (5-7 grades). We are doing a structured study on the church this quarter. My lesson is ready to go for tomorrow. Hope it goes well. I didn't teach last quarter, so I have to get back in the hang of things. Reese ... 2009-01-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=613161 We have had an interesting week. Reese had a relapse in her bronchial stuff. She began running fever AGAIN on Monday evening late. We called Dr and he called her in a Z pack. That didn't even begin to touch it (just like last time), so I took her in on Christmas Eve and he put her on Augmenten (sp) and that did the trick! We have kept her in and plan to do so until her cough is gone. We feel like that is why she relapsed, because we allowed her to go-go. So we will be home until the new year!!!!!! She had a great Christmas. We got a Wii and have thouroughly enjoyed that. It's a great family activity and gets you up and MOVING! Smart invention!! Well Reese wants on the computer...she got a new toy that you play with online...(apparently her 13 Webkins were not enough) and she needed a Littlest Pet Shop VIP! Oy..can you say spoiled!!!!! Hope you had a great Holiday! Happy New Year! ~Traci~ 2008-12-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=608629 She LOVED it. She's been sick (still is) but I had to let her get out and play in it ... might be the only time she sees this much in SE TX! 2008-12-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=608249 It's snowing here! How crazy??? And its sticking. Reese was already in bed when Matt's cousin called and told me to look outside. I went and got Reese up so she could see. She was so excited. She caught a flake on her tongue! She went back to bed, but I caught a pan for her to play with tomorrow. ~Traci~ 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=607178 My brother, Charles/Chuck asked his girlfriend, Chrystan to marry him!! Go congratulate him!!!!!! 2008-12-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=604577 1. I had to miss our Singing School cuz I was sick. I just ran to the Community Center and brougt food and went back home and got in bed. I was very sad. 2. Reese is still coughing with no other symptoms. It sounds TERRIBLE. Matt is taking her back to the Dr tomorrow. 3. My mom is very sick. Bronchial stuff. Pray for her. She is supposed to call dr again tomorrow. 4. Thanksgiving was great. We had lunch at my mom's sister's house. Then went to in-laws to help put up their tree. 5. My tree is up. Reese decorated it, so lots of ornaments are one her eye level! oh well...its cute. 6. Our church building is put back together now. We have pews. It turned out very nice and we are getting new curtains! We also took out the back 2 pews on each side so that everyone will be forced to move up! 7. Tuesday is his birthday...he is going to be 28! 8. My sweet husband brought us home donuts for breakfast this morning. What a yummy treat! 9. I know a HUGE secret that I can't t... 2008-11-30 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=599953 Last night contained two firsts for me. 1) I attended a Murder Mystery Dinner at the historic Kirby Hill House in Kountze. FUN. I didn't figure out who-dun-it, but I did figure out some parts. 2) After that, I went and rode-along with Matt for about an hour and a half. WOW. Thankfully it wasnt too busy. It was very interesting to see him in his element. Reese spent the night with Poppa and Mim..of course they spoiled her. But she had fun. Soccer is going well...just one more game! I think we are all getting tired of it. 10 weeks is alot for a 4/5 y/o team. They are all getting trophies this week. Cute. Have a great week. ~Traci~ 2008-11-16 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=598629 Good morning everyone!

What a pretty morning...a beautiful Lord's Day! We are about to go to worship in our church building with no pews, pigtail lights and no ceiling tiles (or atleast that's how it was on Wednesday)! BUT, no worries, God will be in our midst no matter the state of the building. Isn't that simply amazing. We are under construction from hurricane Ike. We lost our roof and several patches of ceiling. We also had sheetrock damage in the classroom area. We are all going to bring lawn chairs to sit in. Parenting Question: Reese did not score any goals at her soccer game yesterday and was very upset! She cried her eyes out. How can I teach her to be a good loser? She wears her heart on her sleeve and was just upset, but at the same time I don't want her to cry and act out just because she didn't do well. HELP??? This is the first time we've experienced this. She has scored atleast one goal at every other game. She doesn't act like that when she loses board games. We neve... 2008-11-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom2reese?l=5&entryID=589045 ....has improved dramatically since the first game! We don't keep score...but (we won)...ssshhh. Reese is doing so well. She has really surprised us with this talent. We are very proud of her. We didn't think she would like soccer at all and she LOVES it. She scored 5 goals today! Not much else is going on around here. We had a garage sale for our school and raised over $700! We are going to try to get new playground equipment. Now to find volunteers to build it. Prayer request: My poor daddy is working 7-12s at night and he's tired. Pray that ExxonMobil gets back online asap so he can get a day off. And my aunt Tammy is going in for surgery at the end of the month. That's all I have...hope you have a blessed Lord's day tomorrow. 2008-10-19
