Curly Boo – UhOh – Yeah!

Related to yesterday’s post:  I’d also like to share the youtube video that we watched over …and over…..and over…..and over…… so much that when Owen sees the computer he says “Boo UhOh Yeah!” It’s actually a pretty cool video.  It would be so wonderful to take the boys to see the Harlem Globetrotters someday.  It’s [...]

I’m so happy it will be going to a first-timer.  Congratulations, Scott!  Once you receive your tie, how about passing along a picture for all of us to see?  

Thanks to everyone who entered. [...]

Ascot: NOT in stores everywhere this fall.

One year hiatus

Amazing how time flies.  One day you are holding your newborn with aspirations to be a wonderful blogger, songwriter, crafter, mother etc. and another you’re sitting in your living room (after 2 moves) while the 1 year old and 3 year old are napping thinking, maybe I should resurrect that old thing.

Yesterday, I recieved one more call

Yes, it’s true.  Yesterday, my mother called me to tell me that her mother, my Nanny, had passed away.  Now all of my grandparents are with the Lord.  My nanny died only weeks after her twin sister and only days after her husband.  I’m sure that she is so glad to be reunited with them.
Nanny, [...]
