Nana

Last Week we had to say goodbye to Steve's Nana. She lived a full 96 years and I have too many wonderful memories to try and post here. This wasn't a surprise, she told everyone that she missed Gramps and was ready to go be with him. They just had that kind of marriage. To me, her passing was a relief. She is with Gramps and that is where she is happy.

We love you Nana.

Hey Look, It's an Update

I have no real excuse so I won't try to make one. Megan and I have found an online game that we have been playing together. I sit on one computer and her on another and we yell back and forth. It's a lot of fun but a real time drainer.

As I type this, my camera is hooked up to the other peter and uploading pictures. I do have a picture to share but it deserves a blog post all of its own. I will work on that next.

Is this totally boring you yet, it is me. I guess what I will do is stop rambling on about nothing and work on a couple of different post's.

11 Days

Someone pointed out to me that it has been 11 days since my last post. I know, I know. I must get better.

This isn't going to be long because my Mom is here and going home today. I want to spend the last couple of hours with her.

The last couple of days have been great. Steve's parents and my Mom have all been here for Jason's First communion. It was great and he looked so grown up. Mom got to see both boys play baseball and Megan play her clarinet in a concert.


The weather has been really good. My green house is full and I am getting ready to start planting. Yeahhhh, I can hardly wait.

I am going to go and do some more of this, before my Mom leaves.


A quick conversation between me and my youngest:

Jason: "Why is Grandma leaving."
Me: "She has to go home and take care of her family"
Jason: "You are her daughter, we are her family so she IS home"

After thinking about that, I realize he is right. Sorry Dad, she is staying here.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day Mom.
I hope you are enjoying your day today and I miss you.

And my Mother In Law. I am looking forward to see you both this week.

Have a great day.
I will have some pictures and stories from today to post later.

Quick Pics

The only thing going on here is running from games and practices. I now have 3 kids in 4 different sports. Not complaining, just busy.

Here are some pictures from the last week.

It's Been Two Years and 317 Post's

I sort of missed the actual 2 year date but oh well. April 9, 2007 is when I started this blog. I never thought I would keep it updated. I had a website at one time. I posted pictures for our families back home to see the kids. I never was very good at keeping it updated.

Doing this blog has been a lot of fun. It just amazes me to go back and reread the post's and look at some of the pictures. The kids have all changed so much.

Thanks for reading it.

My Son

On another blog that I read daily, asked the question "can you love a kid so much it hurts?" The answer is YES!! Some times the hurt is just trying to figure out how this kid can be mine. Other times it really is just realizing what a good kid he is.

Anthony is like any other 15 year old boy. He can be obnoxious, self centered, loud, rude, a total goof ball and smells funny. But there are days when he totally steps outside himself and does something so completely nice for someone else.

I don't want to go into details, because it would embarrass him. Both Steve and I are very proud of him. It makes us realize what a good kid he his.

We will remind ourselves of this when he starts working us over for the $400 bat he wants.
