When they were finally big enough to leave the front yard on their own & head off down the sidewalk, they used to have secret meetings at this tree on the corner.

Her team's doing really well this year. They're definitely winning more than they're losing. And the games are more fun to watch as they are more evenly matched with the other teams that they're playing this season. Maybe it's just that all of the girls are getting older & more experienced, more skilled.

Gianni used his birthday money from Uncle Tim today and bought a scooter. He was nervous about it at first but has become a natural!

Shel went in to get his blood drawn, today. We should know the IgE levels by next week, letting us know if he's still allergic to milk.

Cole's principal's name is Mr. Bleau (pronounced blue) today the students were supposed to dress in blue to surprise him. Thanks to Clint's morphsuit Cole was really blue. And, then look what arrived in our mail today...our Secret Colours vinyl...it is so pretty (it comes in all different colors-we didn't know what color we were going to get)

It was a beautiful day to go up to Lake Forest and move Vaughn out of his dorm room. And, then Eric and Vaughn had a softball game. The team is made up of fathers and sons all right around Vaughn's age (they all grew up playing with and against eachother).

And, band concert tonight. Now, we can retire the band/orchestra shirts until next fall.

This is Gianni's "party" that he wanted me to invite you all to. He decorated himself! Also, don't worry about the chocolate hand print on the window. Gabriele decided to eat all of the dessert at the party!

We watched our friends baby, Laycie, today. The boys had a blast with her! Don't mind the Corona in the stroller - her parents were partaking as well! : )

I won this fish at a luncheon at work today (he was floating by 8:45pm) and I received these other freebies/prizes in the mail today. I love free stuff.

BIG hugs

I bought a few poster frames to frame some Secret Colours show posters. The sticker on the glass of this one was incredibly hard to scrap off. I'm wondering why they used such a terrible sticker.

Jim got his original live birth certificate in the mail, today. We hit the internet, right away, to try to find out as much as we could about his birth parents.

Gianni came home wearing this hat. It's one of the first projects he has come home with. So stinkin cute!

Maureen May 1, 2012

Happy May Day! Thank you, Molly, for bringing a nice memory of mom to me every spring!

Marla-May 1, 2012

Dylan snapped this photo of me as I answered the door and found this surprise. Thank you and Happy May Day to whoever left it on our doorstep.

Miracles do happen...I actually beat Betty in a game of Words with Friends...amazing!

Team picture day

Miranda April 29, 2012

Except for the blanket, which I put on, Gabriele literally made himself comfortable. Guess he was taking advantage of the tv time while his brother was sleeping!

Marla-April 29, 2012

I made 2 Weight Watchers recipes today. Super Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup and Blueberry Squares...they were both very yummy.

We took the Girl Scout troop out to work on their Camper badge today.

Miranda April 28, 2012

Gianni is very proud that he can pick up his brother...now to teach him how to set him down nicely without his normal just letting go and dropping him... : )

Marla-April 28, 2012

While waiting for Eric to get out of the gas station today I spotted this old relic.

Tabitha joined us at the Turner School Sock Hop. She was really, really good at limbo

Looking at #1 of the season - darn chipmunks. Upside is that the boys love to catch and release them, down side is that they are wrecking my grass and plant beds!
