He is such a big boy

Marla January 31, 2011

Fell asleep while reading tonight (I guess he takes after his Dad-sleeping and still holding the book up)

Miranda January 31, 2011

Happy Birthday Mom! (I forgot to take pictures tonight when we celebrated at my parents house).

Jim found the strobe light that he had been looking for in the basement a few nights ago.

My latest obsession! Joe found them at the hospital when I had Gabriele for my late night snack! After leaving the hospital, I couldn't find them at any store! Joe finally found them at Jewel! You should try them!

We went out to Kline Creek Farm, today, to see the new baby lamb. Stopped at the creek on our way out to the barn.

Margie January 30, 2011

I went in to brush my teeth this morning, but couldn't find the sink! Eventually, I hope that we will run out of balloons.

Entering sweepstakes for Tim. My Christmas present for the gift exchange was '3000 Sweepstakes Entries'. Not sure how many I've done so far, but he just won his first prize - a baseball cap & long-sleeved t-shirt from the movie 'Dilemma'.

Today I put on a badge workshop for Girl Scouts. Madi helped me load the car with supplies before we headed there to set up. She slipped on ice by the front step and fell and hit the back of her head. Nikki took her to the emergency room and she got 2 staples.

Cole and his friend Nick. It was backward day at school today.

Maureen January 28, 2011

Annie's math teacher gave her and another girl some extra work to challenge themselves with over the weekend, just for fun. She started working on it on Friday evening. Allison & I were helping her, but she didn't really need all that much help.

Miranda January 28, 2011

Gianni hates wearing diapers lately! Is he telling me something? Already???

Cole (being the student council treasurer) is helping count money that they have collected at school. The money is being donated towards childhood cancer. The class that earns the most money gets a lunch from Olive Garden. Cole's class has the lead pretty much locked in.

Maureen January 27, 2011

Picking up forgotten homework, in the early evening, in his deserted classroom in his almost deserted school. I'm glad someone was there to let us in when we got there.

Miranda January 27, 2011

Joe was super sweet and brought me flowers - but, they smell like a funeral home to me!

Margie January 27, 2011

Making water balloons - a fun activity on a winter night. She likes them because they are squishy.

Annie got a koala bear puppet from school store, today. It wanted to write something, so she gave it a pen & some paper.

Miranda January 26, 2011

Dino slippers make me run fast!

Marla January 26, 2011

These two flowers blossomed on one of my plants in my kitchen window today. Makes me think of Amanda and Jazmine.

Cole and I went to see the snow sculptures at the Geneva Commons today.

Maureen January 25, 2011

When Shelby got in the car after school, today, he took this out of his backpack to show to me right away. He said that he drew it during math class, when he was bored because they were talking about lines, again. I like his doodles - he gets so goofy & creative in them.

Miranda January 25, 2011

Brotherly love!

Today we went to a birthday party and James and Emily had a lot of fun. And we also watched the Bears vs Green Bay. Bears lost. : ( Yesterday i didn't take a picture but friends came over and Joe left the gate open and the dogs ran away lucky Riley came back when I called and my friends caught Juneau. I'm so lucky to have my friends and dogs.

Maureen January 23, 2011

At Sibling Night we were playing a game where you had to draw the word you were given. Sounds easy? Well, this is the word Tim got, and this is what he drew? I'm still laughing! (Sorry Tim) :)

Today I had a doc appointment and lucky for me I left early since the bridge went up when I got to it. But I made it on time to my appointment! James loved sharing his toys with Em while we waited.

Jim & Annie made homemade egg noodles to go in the soup tonight. Yummy!

Fixing the family forum. Our account was suspended for high usage, so we had to track down the problem. It ended up being an unused message board that we were not aware of and that was being filled with spam by some bots that were logging in from Russian IP addresses!
