Okaaaay. So I got two awards. Surely, I can let these two slip under the table. Do I really have time to stop and acknowledge an award anyway?
But then I got to thinking..... and between all of the wonderful blogs that I have read lately whose authors then come and leave some of the most encouraging comments ever, I felt that maybe I simply needed to quickly do a post about these awards so that I can pass them on to the much more deserving bloggers out there who have touched me and encouraged me in so many ways.
Then this morning, I got another award from my wonderful friend Martha over in New York.
It was then that I decided that I must pass these three awards on. So here goes. But, due to lack of time and the fact that Dennis will be waking up at any moment after his long two hour nap, I may not be keeping to the rules of this game. Sorry. I'm sure you guys won't mind. ;)
With that said, time to hand out the awards.
1st Award
I am handing out this award to the following two bloggers because their blog is beautifully written, they have a beautiful family, and they leave me feeling inspired. I am honored to call them my friends, I wish I lived closer to them, and I indeed think they deserve a rose. Please go check out Heather's and June's blogs and tell them I said hi.
2nd Award
This award is being given to three woman who I feel are so deserving. They have taught me alot, and I look forward to what each of them has to say. I respect them, and feel that I still have much to learn from them. Crazy thing is that only two of them actually blog but I cannot not recognize this other wonderful Mom, so the awards go to Jeri , Annie, and Tina.
3rd Award
This last award is being handed out to many women because I just can't choose three or less. Sorry. These blogs make me smile, make me laugh, and continue to draw me to click on their links to see what is happening in their lives. Enjoy.
Sigh. Everyone I read truly deserves an award! I just can't name them all or I'd be here all day. I just want you all to know that I appreciate all of you! Go ahead and pass them on!

Christine, you are like a blogging whiz today:)
Thank you for your sweet award and kind words. I am amazed at this whole blogging thing really. I consider you a dear friend now and we have never even met. I find myself checking your blog almost daily to find out what is happening over at the Reeds. I am amazed by the support that I have found from friends like in this way. Thank you for your kind words that you leave on my blog and for taking the time to read it. Maybe one day we will be in CA....
Christine, I rarely follow the rule either. I was supposed to hand mine out to seven friends, but I decided to pick just two. I have so enjoyed getting to "know" you and your family, and of course, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of Dennis' story too. I think I may be here to stay.
(If Heather (up there ^) blogged more I would reward her too, cause I love her so much.)
Christine,
I was shocked to see my name and am so touched. You write from the heart and I love reading your blogs and check your site much more than once a day hoping that something new will be there. You have such a big heart and are doing such an amazing job raising your children, giving them love, direction (and correction when needed).
I wish we weren't on opposite coasts so we could actually meet.
You made my day!
Tina
Hey Christine,
Thanks for my sweet award. :)
Bloggy world is so fun.
Hope you got to have your coffee!
Speaking of passing things on (and in reply to your question about where I got my label cloud, I'll post this here to share with your readers too:
Earth to Danie posted a bunch of tricks for blogs, and one link sent me to this (wonderful!) site: Blogger Buster. I like the label cloud, and I think I want to add a 'Print this post' type function too, but haven't got around to it yet.
Oh! And thank you for the sweet award! I read your post after adding the link in my comment above. (((((hugs!!!))))))
Christine,
Coming from a mom like you that inspires me daily, I humbly thank you for including me. (And those that know me would say humble is just so not me!) jeri
I'm so flattered! And, to be in the same group as Tina is too wonderful! She has to be a top notch mom, as she has one amazing daughter! I'll have to check out Jeri more regularly, too.
I'd give you an award, as well, but I feel lucky just to make time to blog, let alone any peripherals. But your blog enriches my day, and "knowing" you and your family in this way enriches my life. Bless you!
Martha, it is enough that you love me:))))
