Flashback - January 2003

One of my favorite things to do is look at my pictures, especially ones that I haven't looked at in a long time. So, I'm going to start doing a random Flashback to some pictures from the current month, who knows what year. Blogging will have to be my version of a scrapbook until such time as the kids are all grown and I have time to do some proper scrapping.

In January 2003 - according to my photos:

Mason playing with his Transformer from Christmas.
I immediately notice that his ability to match his clothing
has not changed much in the last 6 years.
This is in our old house which is now the Bull's house.

Justin was at his annual SW sales meetings that they had in Nashville -
all I got was a few pictures and a coffee mug.

I was also 7 months pregnant at the time (with Ella) -
but apparently felt good enough
to go deep sea diving from the looks of the background.
When Ella was due, we moved Mason out of his room
(he got to choose which room he wanted) and into
the guest room, repainted it ocean colors and put
huge Wallies of sea creatures on the walls.

Justin chats on the phone after working on Mason's room.
Little does he know that he's about to be attacked by a great white shark.

Mason was a silly guy at 7 1/2 years old. He was having a good time
being an only child for a few more months.

We do not remember days; we remember moments.
