Catching up – videos from last year now online!

Wow, editing didn’t take long.  The long part of this process was getting the videos up to Vimeo over the tiny upstream pipe Time Warner gives us.  Plus difficulties with the Vimeo desktop uploader – instead of just letting them upload, they wanted to be baby-sat.  But anyway, here are some links for some video [...]

“Into The Woods”

We wrapped up our very busy week by going to see Sarah in the middle school’s production of “Into The Woods”.  Sarah played the part of Florinda, Cinderella’s ugly step sister.  She named the buns in her hair squirrel, cat and rat.  It took the a good amount of time to do her hair.  They [...]

Presenting Alexandra as King Arthur in “Joust – A Mighty Medieval Musical”

We have been teasing Allie for months since she got the lead in her school play as King Arthur.  ”Oh Allie, how can a girl be the king?  Are you sure it’s not Queen Arthur?”  We are so proud of her. She did a really good job and sang her heart out. We will post [...]

Happy 15th Birthday Mason!!

I can’t believe my baby boy is 15. He is already asking about driving. They grow up way too fast.

Alexandra turned 10!!

Happy Birthday!!! Boy time flies, I can’t believe that my baby girl is 10. I still imagine her as my little blue eyed Boo with piggy tails.

Spring!!!!!

  After a long, cold, wet winter we have enjoyed a couple days of spring like weather. The little girls went out to play as soon as they were able and ran all over the place. I drag them in the house kicking and screaming. Kate even asked me today if she could sleep outside [...]

I love technology!!!

  This is Claire hogging the camera while we were having a video chat with Grandma and Grandpa. It is so wonderful that we have the ability to keep in touch face to face. It makes living so far away a little easier.

Wow it has been a long time!!

I have a million excuses for not keeping up but I am sure it doesn’t matter now.  I still can’t believe how long it has been.  Especially when my last post is Claire’s first birthday.  She will be two in a month.  There is just no way to catch up now.  Just a few highlights [...]

Happy Birthday Mason!!

This is a little late but Mason turned 14! They are growing up so fast. I am having a hard time believing he will be in high school next year. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I still see him as my sweet 3 year old boy. (unfortunately he doesn’t smell the same). We love Mason. He will always be [...]

Happy 16th Birthday!!!

I am once again way behind. I have given up on catching up. Last month we did hit a milestone. We now have a 16 year old.  This also means that Chris was able to get his learners permit. AHHHHHH!!! They do things a little different here as far as drivers licenses. You can’t get [...]

Happy Birthday Halloween Hillbilly!

Stephanie is making me write this. She is also making me write that I have only one more year until I am over the hill. Yay. Now that the formalities are out of the way, we had some Halloween fun outside of making fun of my age. We only carved 8 pumpkins this year, they [...]

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Sarah turned 11 (almost a teen) and had a happy birthday. She got the vest she has been asking for since last year, a hoodie, and a set of Legos, since the boys are not very sharing with theirs. She also got a watch and some games (both board and electronic) so she was thrilled. [...]

The Princess and The Pea

Close up of the Princess Sarah decided earlier this school year to try out for the school play. She’s never tried anything like this before, including singing or acting in front of anyone, so we were surprised but encouraged her. She made it through all of the auditions and callbacks to find out she had [...]

Claire’s first bath

Hiding from the bath Well, it’s been 5 days since Claire was born. We brought her and Stephanie home from the hospital on Friday and spent the weekend trying to catch up on sleep. Monday Steph decided it was a good day for Claire’s first bath. Her cord came off and so she was ready [...]

Welcome Claire!

At long last, Claire Allison is finally here! She arrived at 7:07 AM on April 23. She is 8 lbs 3 oz, and is 21.5 inches long. The girls came along to see the delivery and they were so excited and delighted to be the first to see Claire. They were full of questions and [...]
