As you know it. Life and times of me and my family. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I have stumbled across an awesome photographer. Courtesy of my friend Jodi. She came out to my house, and turned my basement into a little mini studio to take pictures of my kids, along with 2 of my friends kids. I never even had to leave my house! These are just a few of my favorites! This one I ordered as a 20x30 canvas. This is Bella's rocking horse she got for Christmas. I love this one! Sunday, April 24, 2011. Tony really...

Monday, September 21, 2009. Lots going on since my last stupid post. Sorry bout leaving that there for so long. Madeline started school at the beginning of the month and she absolutely loves it!

She is really excited about all the different things that she gets to do. And now, an update on. ME. I got a part time job doing local flu clinics for the next...

Life's Journey...En Route: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!
http://thelongroute.blogspot.com/2009/05/happy-birthday-lori.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Happy Birthday lil sis! I have to specify lil here cause Ryan left a comment on Natalie's blog about the 3 little girls and Lori.) I'm glad you were always older. In a lot of ways cause think of all the things we would have missed out on if you hadn't skipped your Junior year in high school and graduated with me. I will always cherish that year that we were together. Having a sister like you was the next best thing to being a twin. Having a built in friend is priceless. Oh, and gett...

As you know it...: July 2011
http://asyouknowit.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
As you know it. Life and times of me and my family. Thursday, July 21, 2011. Too busy to blog. (among other things). I can't believe how fast July seems to be going. Less than 2 weeks and Anya will be flying home (if you can really call an orphanage home). We have been trying to make the most of the time she is here. Every experience is new and fun for her, and of course fun for Tony and Bella, so it's a win win for everyone. To be done, vs. what should. There have been similar stories from other host fa...

As you know it. Life and times of me and my family. Monday, April 23, 2012. Dinner at the John Howard Irish Pub has become routine to us. The food is good and cheap! I can't complain, however the vegetarian selections are slim. Last night I ordered a pasta dish with chicken in it, and I tried to tell her "nyet masa" which means no meat. And she said in english, "excuse me? Apparently being a vegetarian isn't so common around here, nor is altering the menu to have it your way! Sunday, April 22, 2012.

As you know it. Life and times of me and my family. Friday, May 28, 2010. Today is as good a day as any…. She has 2 bottom teeth which she has had for a while now, and we keep wondering when she might get some more, and just yesterday I noticed her two top teeth are starting to break through. . Talking: Says “mama” and “uh oh”, and Waves hi and bye. Okay, it’s late and I’m tired, so I’m gonna wrap up this first blog in a long time and end with a few pictures of Tony and Bella. Playing in mud puddles.

I can't wait to be all together as a family. Have a safe trip. An ER nurse, tu...
