Does any one know

how my words were changed to symbols without me doing it?

Ahhh! the weekend

Tom and I got to spend a nice relaxing evening in Dayton Friday night. We shopped a bit in Half-price Books then went to Panera for caramel latte's and a cinnamon crunch bagel with hazelnut cream cheese! We split the bagel so it wasn't soooo bad! We took the laptop and just enjoyed looking at some blogs and relaxing.
Sat. he was off to work early. I bought Panera for lunch and met him at work. After supper was over tonight I made a banana cake with REAL butter cream frosting and some coconut macaroons(in the oven as I write). I think we've had a nice weekend- a relaxing one that was much needed! Hope yours was "just what the Dr. ordered", too!

Winter work

For Hannah and Andy

These are a few scenes from the last couple snows. Andy really enjoyed the snow before so, this is to let him see what he's missing! I really like the creek scene- we have a picture from Alaska that looks very similar to it and it's beautiful. My Sweetie got to try out the new snowblower. That was a good purchase on Uncles part and I think Tom enjoyed being out and working outside for a change. Being in an office all day isn't always the best thing. He enjoys the outdoors a whole lot more!
As all good things must come to an end they say, this snow will soon be gone with our warmer temps. coming in--and that's ok! So- if you just love winter and the snow--ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN!

April Showers Bring May.....

weddings,babies and Marines! Well, nothing like getting everything done at once! May is looking like it will be a busy month and I'm not quite sure how to handle some of it. First, Nathanael and Becky have moved their wedding up to May 3, due to the Navy sending Nathanael off to school for 2 months in June. Hannah is due May 20 but, we all know that means little, and Aaron is scheduled to leave for boot camp May 24. Therein lies the problem! I'm planning to be with Hannah when the baby comes and yet I want to see my boy off to boot camp. I'm hoping Baby will wait till after the 24th. Maybe we can pray that way. I know- but, I think Hannah would want me here to see Aaron off, too.
Anyhow- Tom will really be on his own for a few weeks! Well, at least 2. Hopefully by that time Hannah and Andy will have the internet up and running so we can utilize the web-cam!
Boy-won't emotions be going all over for the month of May! Whew!
I'll try to post some new pics. Uncle took some of my favorite man in the world and I think Andy will like the snow.
Later

Hurrah for web-cam

Yes! we'll have web cam and so will Hannah and Andy. This was the sample from the laptop we recently purchased. These are some serious shoppers here!

Testosterone and trash talking

That's the stuff that flows pretty thick and heavy sometimes between Tom and the boys. They have a lot of fun trying to outdo each other. You know the saying though-'there's a difference between a man and a boy!' We'll see how it goes when Aaron is back from boot camp! I'm sure there will be a challenge for Dad!

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY, HANNAH!!! I hope Baby's birth is as gentle as yours was!
