Seven little puppies & their mom came to stay with us for a few weeks today. After dinner, Jim was laying on the couch, holding a puppy & watching a movie with the kids. Daisy, the cat, came to introduce herself to the pup.

This is the flowers I got from Maureen. I'm so happy I finally got to go home and they moved me 4 times while I was here. The doctors said they are no longer going to try and stop my contractions anymore. If I go into labor they will just let me have the baby. They said they think that she will do fine.
Donna October 11, 2009
Our friends-Greg and Cassy- stopped by today. This is their kids eating jello cups....My house is not equipped for busy kids...Yet...

Today I had a lot of visitors first Maureen came and visited and that was so sweet of her she brought me flowers. Then my friend came and then Joe and James. It was so nice seeing everyone. I love visitors. But later that night I had very bad contractions they were 6 mins apart and very strong. I had to call Joe since I thought this was the real thing. False alarm.
Cole October 10, 2009
I'M RINGO!!! Sorry I had to get that out of my system. (FART) that to. so I played Rock band all day long. It was fun.
Maureen October 10, 2009
We went out to the NCC football game tonight. It was cold. They won, though - 83-7! Very different from the WCCHS games we'd been going to in the past few years :-)

Still here. Food is horrible and so the nurses and some doctors I've gotten moved twice now. I guess thats the only way I get new sheets and a clean room around here. I'm so stressed out. I just want to go home. plus they keep taking my blood from my arm from different spots even when i'm sleeping and the first day I was here it took them 3 times to put an IV in my hand and it hurt so much.
Cole October 9, 2009
This is me outside of the movie with a cardboard cut out of the movie. We saw cloudy with a chance of meatballs. See the monkey? He is my favorite character his name is Steve.

It's not every day that you hear this question, "Mom, where's my hair?" We had an evening of getting Nikki's hair "did."

boo I'm still here. 2nd dose of steroid for baby and they started me on magnesium. I feel horrible.
Cole October 8, 2009
I came to the pet store after karate and I went to see the fish. This one interested me the most.
Maureen October 8, 2009
The hallway leading to the PTO meeting tonight (and to Shelby's classroom during the day). I presented info about getting our school/district involved in the Scripps Spelling Bee tonight & finally found some enthusiasm for the whole idea. I'd been presenting it to various people in the district & in other schools in the district, for a month now & was about to give up altogether, since, so far, the best response I got was apathy. So, the enthusiasm & the 'go ahead & do it at this school' that I got tonight was nice to hear.

Madi got a surprise package in the mail today from Aunt Molly. Cockroaches! She was thrilled! Thanks, Molly, for that fun surprise! The package came in the morning, and I wanted Madi to wait until Nikki came home in the evening to open it. But I spent all day doing a Laura Petrie imitation - poking, shaking, squeezing the package, dying to know what was inside!

This is James 1st girlfriend. She loves hugging him and he like to hold her hand.Also today I got admitted to the hospital to get steroids for the baby, and to stop my contractions.
Cole October 7, 2009
This is me trying to figure out what to request to FM 89.1. I ended up asking Alison to play Dance Dance by Fall out boy. It was the right decision.
Maureen October 7, 2009
Apparently, I am on the 'Health and Wellness' committee at work. Today, three of us (Colleen had the day off) put together a bulletin board, mostly because the corporate bigwigs are coming to our office tomorrow & we wanted them to think we were on the ball with this whole company-wide 'Health and Wellness' initiative... My part was the lower right-hand corner, with info about the physical & emotional benefits of walking, along with info on local forest preserves & labyrinths.

Gabby and Bonnie, and Bonnie's son Jayden. Gabby spent the first 6 weeks of her life at Bonnie's house, and I took care of Bonnie and her sister Terry for years. They all came over for a visit tonight.
Maureen October 6, 2009
Family Reading Night put on by WeGo for Kids tonight. They had a bilingual storyteller there as a part of the evening. Shelby was a bit distracted during the performance. He & I ended up playing around with the camera a bit & got this extreme closeup shot. We think it looks like someone is inside of the computer, looking out at us :-)

Today I went to the hospital due to contractions they had to give me an IV and a shot to stop the contractions. I hate IV's.

Eric heading out of town for work. He went to southern Illinois and will be gone for a couple of days. Since his car hasn't been working he got a rental car for the trip. He was supposed to have an economy car but they didn't have one available for him so he ended up with this big truck.
Margie October 5, 2009
It was getting late, I didn't have a picture yet, and Madi was running around the house with a headband/flashlight on, so here you go.
Maureen October 5, 2009
Bringing our 'new' stove home. The oven on our old one stopped working on Friday night. We got this one from some guy in Elgin, who was selling it on Craigslist & picked it up tonight. Tomorrow, we rearrange our kitchen so that it will fit, since it's 10 inches wider than our old one. We're really looking forward to cooking in a normal sized oven!

Jesse, Lance & Tyler at the new skate park in Spring Grove. (I was not allowed to get out of the car to take pictures, so had to sneak one through the window.)

He says that he really doesn't like math, that he's not very good at it. So, what would every parent say...."The only way that you are going to get better is by practicing"
