Update on the boys.

Logan and Billy are spending a few days with Shaun's parents. They'll be back Thursday morning in time for Billy to attend orientation for Kindergarten.

Ben is talking up a storm and has developed quite the cute personality. He's very loving, demanding, and independent at the same time.

Garrett is growing up WAY too fast. He's sitting, and starting to crawl. He still only has the two teeth on the bottom but he's working on more.

Our desktop is on the fritz (caught a bug) so I'm without my graphics program which means I haven't been taking any pictures (since I can't easily re-size/fix them). I promise to post current one of the boys as soon as we're back up and running.

They have all grown so much this summer.

Duh.

I bought a shake on the way home from the dentist thinking the cool drink would feel good on my sore gums and hungry belly. At least it would have felt good if my lips weren't so numb.

I couldn't close my lips around the straw.

No lip closing = no suction when you suck.

Duh.

Knitting - Logan's blanket

My knitting is getting better. I'm going to make each boy a blanket as practice.

Here's a look at what it looks like so far

I'm making my own pattern up as I go along.

Learning to knit.

I'm learning how to knit (again LOL). I've known how since I was a young child but have never perfected it enough to actually make something other than a dishcloth or a scarf.
So for practice I've made two dishcloths...here's the first...

I know....it's soooo impressive isn't it. LOL At least I'm proud....and it's useable. The second one came out better but I wiped up baby puke with it before I could take a picture of it so I'll have to post one once it's out of the wash.

My next project is going to be a hat.

Woolwich Days 2008

We took Snowflakes on the road to Woolwich Days. The boys had a blast and I even sold a few things. Garrett slept most of the time but when he was awake he smilied at everyone who looked his way. Grandpa watched the boys while they jumped in a blow-up jumping thing. Logan and Billy even got their picture in the newspaper. I'll scan it in as soon as the desktop is back up and running.

Close enough!

Do you think these people parked close enough to our durango?

We took the boys to listen to swing music at the gazebo tonight. When we went to get back in the car to go home we found we were blocked in from behind by a car from New Jersey. The kicker....there was 10 feet behind them...and no reason for them to be so close. Is summer over yet? I'm soooo ready for all the tourists to GO HOME!

Bad Blogger

I know....I've been a bad blogger lately. I promised myself I would not let this blog sit without updates...but sometimes I guess life just gets in the way of blogging. LOL

I've been busy with my business and having some summertime fun with the boys. I have also slacked off on taking pics of the boys. I do have some recent ones to share...just need to re-size them first.

Happy 30th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

A quote

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I just wanted to wish you (Dad) a very happy Father's Day!

I know we don't always agree, but I love you and really value our relationship. Mom was right when she used to tell us "You don't know how how lucky you are to have a father!". We didn't know then, but we sure do know now.

Love you lots!
XOXO
