a superb weekend. Yesterday morning I took Tim over to my parents to see the digger dig up their back yard. They’ve got a project going on and Tim looooves equipment. (He has even referred to my Kitchen Aid mixer as, “the equipment.” Power tools, yah, yah.) The guy dug, the bucket scraping against the […]
We finally made it to the lake last night about bedtime. t.c. was there waiting at the top of his lungs. Jay built a fire. I deep fried the shrimp. They played 500 while I read a magazine and the kids went nuts with the Polly Pockets and fighting guys. a toad they let go
In the morning we leave for my in laws, for the Mother’s Day/Birthday Celebration. It’s cold and gloomy and might even SNOW. (Awwww, noooo.) We hope not. She’s a fairly beautiful woman I dearly love… Tonight I baked and frosted a big, fat chocolate cake for her, and Julia helped me shop for a gift.
It was a quiet weekend, cool and windy, a little sun, a few clouds… We had a party here last night, and Little Jay went to prom… Her dress is so beautiful. I do really like this kid. She is so funny and kind. The party was great. My aunt and uncle were in town,

The thirty-eighth birthday was spent in bed in the sun with beautiful newborn Kari. Lori came with buns and sandwich meat, and we all had a picnic in the bedroom. The kids took silly video, bouncy, seasick video. Kari slept. The forty-eighth? Babysitting b.g. and dropping off our LAST tuition check at preschool. (The school
Beautiful day, lots of fun… We went to church and to the Easter breakfast before the service. It was great. Tim decided he wanted seconds on the sausage, so I told him to go get in line and ask. They’d give it to him. He went skipping on up there and I figured they’d put
We had little b.g. here for the day. He’s pretty funny these days, talking a lot, sprouting hair, eating squash and pears. The kids had him in the tent playing. He liked it. I kissed and hugged him many, many times. He’s very tasty. Later he sacked out on our bed in the sun. This
