Aidan's B-Ball & Lilly's Nacho Supreme Dinner

Happiest of Congratulations to our friend Lori and her Family! (Or as you are called in our house "Lori's Kids") What a wonderful day to be included in your celebration...or just, what a wonderful day! Buffy and I loved watching the Adoption Hearing in court Friday morning. All of us had a fabulous time at Jumping Jack's that afternoon. What a fun day! Congratulations to Tristan and Mya for getting your forever family! We love all of you!

Adoption Day

John finally felt weel enough last week-end to celebrate his birthday. I don't have pictures of he and his friends going to a movie and then coming back here for pizza and cake---that just was way too not cool! These pictures are from Sunday. We had his favorite, spaghetti, salad and garlic bread. Some things about this kid never change :). That he is 17, is starting to sink in to me this week.

John's 17th Birthday!

Happy 17 and Square Root Day to John!!!

Happy, Happy 17th Birthday to my sweet baby, John. All of my kids are now old enough to be annoyed when I refer to them as my babies....but he will always be my baby, even at 17!
I tried to post pictures -- old and new --- with no success today.
Pete will be home this week-end and we will have more celebrations, so hopefully I will get some pictures then.
Tonight, just as he was "officially" 17 (9:23pm, to be exact), he went to bed with a fever, sore throat, and lots of aches and pains..yuck,yuck,yuck.

Jane's first grade is studying money, economics and commerce. With that, they decided to have a Bake Sale on Thursday and Friday this week.
Jane baked cookies, brownies, and cupcakes for both days. She and her classmates made lots of signs and put them around the school to advertise.
Jane and I worked at the table on Friday during lunch. It was a big hit with everyone---even her brothers and sister took quarters each day to buy her goodies!
(I haven't had the heart to explain how much we spent on the baking and preparation to make the few dollars they got for new books for the school library---there is just some childhood innocence that must not be shattered!)
