weekend...

So, after living for the weekend 5 days straight, its almost here. Now, what's going on?

I wish, I wish, I wish to be a fish.....

or maybe a sand crab! 7/26/09 Ocean City, MD

I need....

...a book. Simple request, you think I can handle myeslf right, but that takes time to sit and look through to pick one out. Oh, well.

To live near the coast...

I can't imagine living anywhere too far from the water that we couldn't just pick up and drive to the beach for the day, or like this weekend, both days. I can't imagine not laughing at myself b/c parts of my body resemble a steamed blue crab, for that matter, I can't think of the possibility of not getting those same blue crabs whenever I want! And it would be horrible to think of all the photo opportunities, candid and planned, that would be missed! Having my son jump a wave, say "this is fun" then jump another and say "this is REALLY fun" is too priceless. And holding Pey-Pey's hand while she jumps the waves is also a memory I will keep, the trust for "Ms Kat" in wanting to share her joy with me is too lovely. I had a great weekend the past 2 days and can't wait for more!

Group Pic - Myrtle Beach

The first of hopefully many family tradition vacation group pictures! (did you get all that, lol.)

Hey, Joe...

Happy 40th birthday big brother!

Man, what was this conversation about?

I know my family is known for being talkers, but clearly I wasn't listening close enough to Tommy in this picture because man, I wish I could remember what he was saying, looks pretty interesting!

Down in the Valley

Please no one snicker, but I LOVE Dan Zane, I miss seeing the videos daily from when I was home with JJ. This is my all time favorite:

From the mouth's of babes

On the way back from Myrtle Beach we picked up "Lola" and JJ was telling her how his legs got darker, his arms, his nose, his chin, his eyes, and his hair. John asked him abut his butt, and he said yeah, my butt and my penis got darker. "Lola" about had a heart attack, asking where he learned "that" word. We were busting out laughing, but we did manage to say how it isn't a dirty word and in our house we use the correct termonology for body parts.

Need a vacation from our vacations

We got back from a family trip to South Carolina a few days ago, and I am still recovering! I was SO tired the last day there, all I could think about was getting in the van for the ride home so I could take a nap! But we all had a blast and we are looking forward to this next year! Hopefully we can turn this in to an annual tradition! There will be more pics to come once I can sit down to edit them all!

Gone but never forgotten...

My dear Uncle, your presence will always be missed, you are forever loved!

Happy 4th of July!

Olympic Park in Atlanta, GA 7-4-06
This seems like so much more than 3 years ago, but it passed in the blink of an eye! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July with family & friends, I know I did!

Challenge digi page

As many times as I accidently called her "mom" is there any question why JJ will tell you flat out, she is not his Aunt Ellen, she is "Mom-Mom." He knows the difference, when he sees pictures of my mom, she is "Maw-Maw." I'm just glad he has her for a grandmother figure in his life!
