Jumping off of a swing at a park that Jim discovered when he delivered a jump to that party that's just breaking up under the pavilion in the background. We find lots of fun playgrounds that way.

Molly May 23, 2009

This is Kara (and Nick), who has been a long time receptionist for me. She works as I need her, but has been helping me out for at least seven years. If you can't tell, they got married. It was a very nice wedding and reception (held at an art gallery).

Today James took his first bubble bath. Today was also his last day at Gymboree. He wont be back for at least another month or two. This is a picture of his teacher, she loves him so much and says she is going to miss him.

I played cue card holder for Cole tonight. At his school they do the announcements on tv on Fridays. Cole was chosen to be one of the reports this week. So, we practiced some at home.

Donna May 21, 2009

I went with Miranda (and G) to say goodbye to her work people and clean out her office. It being a bit sad, we stopped on the way home at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Could we help it if margaritas were the 'special'....?

Margie May 21, 2009

Preschool graduation.

Miranda May 21, 2009

Today was bittersweet...I cleaned out my office at my work and turned in my keys and pager!

It was such a nice day me and James spent sometime outside on his play mat he loved it. I also had some of the cutest chocolate I got from the baby shower I was at. It was almost too cute to eat.

Marla May 19, 2009

As I look back on my day there are so many things that I could have made my "picture of the day". But, I either didn't think about it or I didn't have my camera with. I finally decided to get some allergy testing done at the doctor. My appointment was today and it appears that I am allergic to tree pollens (follow up shots in a few weeks). That was missed photo opportunity number one. Then after dinner Cole, Eric and I took a walk. Missed photo opportunity number two. Stopped at the park to play. Number three. And, I gave Cole a two block piggyback ride on the way home from the park (FYI-he is really heavy). Number four. Instead you get a photo of my KFC free grilled chicken meal rainchecks that needed to be postmarked by today. Sorry, I'll try better tomorrow.

Margie May 19, 2009

Aren't they cute in their matching jackets and hats? Now they just need matching shoes and a purse and they are ready for a night out on the town!

This was right before bed time!

Margie May 18, 2009

Another baseball game. They won 5 to 8. I love night games - just wish it was warmer out.
I used to babysit for that kid on the left.

Maureen May 18, 2009

I think roses look and smell even prettier as they start to wilt & dry.

Marla May 18, 2009


Cole took a step back in time today to the 1900's to experience life as a pioneer.

Donna May 18, 2009


This is one of those cards with what happened the year you were born. This is Mirandaa's year. Hmmm, the cell phone was invented in 1978? Coincidence? (Love you Mir...)

Miranda May 18, 2009

I can't get enough of Portillos chocolate cake!

Donna May 18, 2009

When I got up this morning, the remote on the left wouldn't work. So I tried smacking it, then changing batteries, nothing. Frustrated, I started making the bed to go to work...when I found the REAL bedroom remote! I must have carried the one from the front room in there last night. Calgon, take me away!

This is my porch couch. It is really an old day bed I found in the garbage. I got foam for a mattress. It is so comfortable. We really enjoy sitting out on it. I know this will never leave my possession. There are many memories attached to it. We have had it about six years.

Jen May 17, 2009


Today I dress James up in his Astronaut outfit his Grandma gave him. Then I went to my friends Baby shower. I'm finally feeling so much better. It was nice seeing my friend.

Marla May 17, 2009

We rearranged Cole's room today...He's got bunk beds again. They used to be separated...one was in his room and one was in the basement.

Maureen May 17, 2009

Showing Bryce around backstage after the last show

Margie May 17, 2009

Look at this! No one is home. That never happens. They all went fishing and I had the entire house to myself!
P.S. Happy Birthday Mom!
