New Look

I kind of like this black background... what do you think? I think it makes the pictures pop. If it's too annoying let me know. But look how great this picture of Gabby looks!

Yes, we blow lots of dandelion seeds around here

I have added a link to our youtube videos as well. (Right over there on the right.) Stop in over there... Megan and Papa are singing too!

Justin is gone travelin' again.... to Colorado Springs this time. Unfortunately I don't think he has a window of time to go see Maura and "the fam". Speaking of Maura and "the fam", congratulations on new baby Griffin!!

When Justin was home this weekend he actually showed me what it is that he is doing now.... he is a Maintenance Specialist (I think... and no, that does not mean he is a janitor!). He will teach the yahoos how to maintain the fancy, expensive thermal imaging machine. I'm sure that there is a lot more to it than that, but at least now I have a rudimentary understanding of what exactly it is that he is doing!

Today, Alex's house project was due. The 5th grade had to study different architecture and then build a model house based on what they learned. Alex chose an Italianate and based her house sort of on the house Grandma Patty grew up in.Yes, I did help, but she did a lot of the work on it and has the hot glue gun burns and the exacto-knife cuts to prove it! Tomorrow is the Curriculum Fair at school... fancy name for Open House. Hudson also has his recorder concert!

This is a funny picture from this weekend.... it is Ethan watching golf. It was his choice to do this. Obviously he was switched at birth because he is clearly not my child.

And Alex won't eat a hamburger but she'll eat this!!!!! GROSS! This is a tofu dog after it has been microwaved. Yummy.
