Jamie came in for a massage today. She is due in three weeks, but I don't think she will last that long.

One of our April Fools pranks (courtesy of Family Fun magazine, too!)

It's Wednesday nite and I am coming home from bowling....10:30. But I live on Bittersweet RD! Somebody will hear from me tomorrow....

The makings of an April fools' day prank that I pulled on Cole...and the final result (chicken nuggets or fish sticks, peas and ketchup). He fell for it and then took the other half to Andrea's house so that he could trick Bryce (he said that Adam probably wouldn't fall for it).

This is what Joe does every night but usually in bed this time he decided to read next to me.

I have just spent 3 1/2 hrs. trying to load music onto Jesse's Blackberry Storm phone, and I am no further along than when I started. In fact, I am further behind as I managed to completely wipe out everything in Jesse's phone and had to reinstall his operating system. I am sure that this is probably very easy for some people, but there has GOT TO BE A WAY for us simple-minded folk to get some music onto the phone. Why do they make it so hard, like it is some secret formula??? Can't I just click on a button and have some instructions pop up?? Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!

Yay for chocolate! : )

Colleen April 1, 2009

No, this is not an April Fool's Joke. I actually got a new 'do'.

Maybe spring is coming.

Andrea March 31, 2009

Anyone for a nice warm glass of Ferret?

Surprise check in the mail, today, from Google Adsense. $100.27 for running ads that people clicked on, on our all-but-forgotten fireworks locator website. Of course, the van's brakes need repair, so this will help pay for that. The check, though, has Jim thinking that he needs to get some more websites out there with adsense on them... Easy money (eventually - this was for about 3 years of hosting the site w/ads)

Jen March 31, 2009


Visited Grandpa...

Marla March 31, 2009

Cole got a new wire at the orthodontist today.

Margie March 31, 2009

YIKES!!!!

Donna March 31, 2009

Brendan made this clock for us many years ago. I cherish it! But it needs batteries....

Miranda March 31, 2009

Here is the sign that my mom and dad put in front of our house...isn't it so cute?

Tulips surprised by the snow.

Jen March 30, 2009

Today i wasn't feeling well, so Joe brought me a dozen chocolate strawberries.

Miranda March 30, 2009

Joe and Gianni having "tummy time." It's so cute to watch Joe when he comes home from work...he showers then goes straight to G!

Molly March 30, 2009

More fundraisers. A car wash and plant sales. The prices on the plants are pretty good. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you an order form.

Maureen March 30, 2009

Family Game Night at the library. We were the only family there. We had fun playing the library's games, though, on a nice big table, without our own mess around us.

Marla March 30, 2009

Magician at Sanfratello's wowing Cole.

Andrea March 30, 2009

Dear Santa,
I have been a VERY good girl this year and all I want for X-mas is ....,
Love,
Andrea

Apparently it has been over 23 years since I have made Goop Glop. My kids were asking, "What is this?" And, when I told them, they said, "What??????" They had never heard of it. But, they think it is a wonderful delicacy. This is the 2nd pan I have made since Saturday. Jesse was telling all of his friends at school about goop glop - like he had discovered the 8th wonder of the world! Well....and there goes my lenten vow to cut out all the extras....

I did not take a picture today. This picture was actually from Saturday night, Ellie using my leg for a pillow.

Harry (the cat) meeting G for the first time!

An evening with a laundry basket brought to you by Stephen Lewis.

Maureen March 29, 2009

I started this blanket for Allison years ago. I joked with her, at the time, saying I'd probably have it done in time for her to bring it to college. Now... I'm hoping that I have it done in time for her to bring it to college.

Donna March 29, 2009

Sunday morning on my street. Beautiful!

Marla March 29, 2009

Dylan going back to UIC...his Spring break is over...and ours is just starting.

Jen March 29, 2009


Joe and I were planning on going out to Geneva for some shopping. Then Joe say's OMG look out the window. This is what we woke up to. Plus if you look in the background there is a lot of damages to the tree/bushes the ice broke them. But this was Juneau's happiest day ever he ran all over the backyard then would dip his nose in the snow and eat some snow. Juneau is going to hate Virginia No Snow at least any that sticks to the ground and only 1 day a year.

Well, we did not get the whole basement clean, as you can see in the background, but we did finish the corner where the washer and dryer are. Stay tuned.....

Miranda March 28, 2009

The lovely view from our hospital bedroom....can't believe how much it snowed!

Molly March 28, 2009

Keno and her yummy bagel bone. It was gone in about two minutes.

Maureen March 28, 2009

Our kids need new bikes this spring, so we were checking them out at Target. Bryce seemed to like this one, which was the cheapest 20" one there (and which our kids will probably end up with, too).

Marla March 28, 2009

Went to Susie's baby shower today (she's due June 2nd)

Jen March 28, 2009

Today James is 8 months old. Time does fly!

Donna March 28, 2009

Went up to the neighbor's for one (1) beer. Some of you know him as Rickie Dell. We just missed Millie who is staying with him for a few days. Darn it.

Andrea March 28, 2009

Watching TV on Saturday night. Amazing how I can do that with my eyes closed!

Margie March 28, 2009

I couldn't get the gas shutoff to budge, so called a friend who works for the gas comapny. He came over and took out the old dryer and put in the new one. We call this guy Tom Cruise. He's always so nice to look at! But, he's married. Darn! I used to watch his kids, and his wife is a dear friend of mine. Still, he's fun to look at.
