Jo's 1st Birthday

Happy Birthday Jo!!!!!

Christmas morning.

Fun with Cousins

On Sunday night, Marianna and Anna came over to Grandma's house. It was fun to have the kids together. Jo was born Jan 9th, Donte on Jan 19th, and Autumn on Jan 22nd. They were so cute together! It was great seeing them both and their kids.

Back to New York

I planned a rather last minute trip back to Bloomfield, NY to see my Grandma Edie. Just Jo and I left on Saturday the 12th and came back the following Thursday. It was a GREAT trip. We had so much fun just hangin' out with Grandma and Grandpa. Got to see lots of friends too. Loads of fun. I didn't realize how much I missed it back there until I was there. I certainly don't miss the cold and snow, though. Hopefully I can go back again with the boys.

Trip to Paragonah.

December 7th we (Max, Simon, Jo and myself) made a quick trip up to Paragonah. Jeff's mom had just had some knee surgery, so we went up for a couple days to try to help out. We almost got snowed in. A big storm came in just before we got there. it only takes driving in the snow once to realize how much I love living in the desert!

Here is a baby goat at Aunt Tess's house. Only a few days old! It was so cute!

Happy 9th Birthday Marshall!

Dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, of course. Marshall's favorite place (probably because we only go there once a year....for his birthday.)

Halloween, a month late!

Congratulations to Simon and Marshall who both won "Most Creative Costume" for their grade!

BE THERE, THIS THURSDAY, 6-9 PM

Hello everyone out there in blogger land.  I have kind of been roped in (happily) to host this fall shopping extravaganza.  It is this Thursday, November 12 from 6:00-9:00 pm.  There are going to be about a dozen or so vendors of all kinds.  One thing I can promise you is that the food will be YUMMY!  Not dinner, but enough to satisfy, I promise.  Even if you aren't looking to buy, please stop by just to say hi and have a bite to eat.  If you are looking to buy, you are in luck with lots of great options!  Pass this along or link your blog to  fallshopping.blogspot.com!!

Hope to see you Thursday!

Jeff turned 35

For Jeff's Birthday, his sister brought him some fat steaks and 2 live lobsters! It was a new experience figuring out how to cook them. In the end I think he (and Marshall) fully enjoyed them (I don't eat lobster.) Thanks Zelma! It really was a great treat for Jeff.

Junk in your Trunk Tomorrow!

(copied from Kate's blog)

Just a reminder with a few updates....

Junk In Your Trunk is TOMORROW!!! It starts at 9:30, so feel free to SHOW UP EARLY and start setting your stuff out. My driveway and nearby sidewalks will have tables up to show off some of your FAVORITE old items! Feel free to bring your own table to display items as well.

Are you getting nervous... is this getting TOO BIG? No way! The more the merrier!
And EVERYTHING IS FREE! (Did I mention that already?)

If we get a HUGE amount of people, I will have people line up their cars on WESTCHESTER HILL AVE and on both sides of CAMPBELL (take Westchester Hill Ave as far west as possible, and the last available street you hit is Campbell, where you have to turn RIGHT). There are NO houses on that street, therefore BOTH SIDES can be lined with cars if needed.

Make sure that items you bring are in "working" condition and are not Republic Services quality.

If you have questions call me 997-4587.

Family Time

Here we together, together, together, oh here we are together in our family......

Kim, Tom, Emily and Sam all came into town for the weekend. Sunday night we got together for dinner and decided to take a picture for mom and dad. Not the perfect portrait, bad lighting, horrible spacing, but that's the way we do things. We love and miss you mom and dad!
