Okay.. So my first day back at work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.. I met some really interesting people.. The gentleman who helped create Twitter being one of them... I asked him how to pronounce his name so that I made sure I pronounced it right .. It was very complicated .. three very long names and I couldn't even begin to say any of them correctly...... and he says.......
"Kevin."
It was HILARIOUS!!!!..he told me about the new app he is creating for the iphone.. I will post more on that later... I was suppose to work until 9 but got off at 6 ...phones were slow.. so we were all VERY happy.. We have a Wonderful child staying with us... She is actually Bonners cousin ...Her name is Allegra and she is so sweet.. We met her at dinner the other eve when Bonners Parents were here..Found out they actually live in Tanglewood.. So she wanted to come and spend the weekend with us.. She is a character.. She has been bugging the boys all day ...She fits right in.. I love her to death... I have a feeling she will be spending alot of time in the Damato household.. and you know me... the more the merrier...
My sweet son Jordan brought me home a surprise last night.. a smoker! He slaved away smoking his first brisket today while I was working... it was AWESOME!!!!That boy can cook! He and Tyler my oldest are both chefs... I love it..When Tyler comes to visit they both spend all day in the kitchen cooking up the yummiest creations... I too love to cook... Well more bake really... I love cookies and brownies and all those things I cant have right now... Still five more pounds!!!!
Spent alot of time creating the past couple of days.. I am going to post some pics... I needed a floral arrangement so I made it.. My first one.. So Proud! We have also been busy making jewelry...
Sydnee made her first necklace this evening and I taught sweet Allegra how to make Tutus ...She is in the kitchen now attempting her first necklace... I love when these girls make something and are so proud.. It makes me happy!!!!


The sky is so clear, the starts so bright..
As I sit on the outside
looking in
All is right with the World
My Baby Girl climbing into Bed
Arms reaching out one more time
For one more hug from Daddy
The breeze is blowing, it is perfect.
Kids gathering up suits to go out for the night
to a block party they go
I laugh as I remember those days
of my youth.
Lights flashing in the dark
from the Video game upstairs..
But all is quiet out here.
Two girls painting toenails
Tying Tutus, beading necklaces
I watch it all through the Windows.
Stealing this moment of quiet
I quickly pray
God Thank you
My house is full of love and laughter
A place where all are Welcome.
and safe.
Where little girls dance and sing
and puppies beg for food
My place of bliss
My Heaven on Earth.
If I don't tell you enough
My Lord
My savior
I love you. I believe in you.
I thank you and I will praise you.
Today, Tomorrow and for the rest of my life.



Defining Moment..The moment you realize that no matter how tired you become, raising our Children is a privilege..not a chore.
