Are you kidding me????? Are we really in 2010? And near the end of January at that???? I only got a 2010 calendar last week (could explain the two appointments I missed at the beginning of January....and I am NOT...

Back to school! Dean started Year One (aka First Grade) on Thursday. I really can't get over how handsome he is in that uniform!!! He was SO EXCITED. We actually did a count down to the first day....as in "how...

It seems I have taken a "summer break" from blogging. Didn't plan it that way, but that is what's happened. It's been a wonderful and super duper busy last two months. It's been great times with some of my favorite...

On Monday Dean's school had Sport's Day. I can't even put into words how PROUD I was of him!!! He is such an awesome kid. He put so much effort into all the activities and took them all so seriously...

Really that's it.....Greece was magical....it was so warm and sunny with the sea breeze keeping it from being "too hot"....it was GORGEOUS....it was absolutely no stress (our only decisions were shall we swim, sail, kayak, play tennis, or lay by...

We are on BIG TIME count down mode around here.... *In 8 hours we are taking off for a week of sunshine, beaches, and RELAXATION in Greece (this was Spike's big birthday present). Can you say (or rather SCREAM) excitement!!!...

In case you don't want to read about all the gory details....the nutshell version: Since last Thursday night/Friday morning Dean and I have had fevers between 103 and 105 F (40 and 41 C) (no breaks in fever either!) We...

it throws a real hitch in things!! We have had NO INTERNET access for a week now. Terrible, horrible, cutting us from the daily on-line chatter with family and friends across the globe! I email daily (sometimes many times a...

I am updating this baby! Especially for Kay, who so faithfully checks in :) (and who is likely to give up hope entirely if I don't get a few pics up here!!) So... It's been one of those months where...

That's what we all feel like around here. I have the kind of bug that makes you feel like at any second your whole head could just explode (and send the contents flying for miles!) To top it off, my...

**FYI....I started this post on Wednesday the 18th...it's been "saved as draft" for five days (with very little in the way of content). Seems school half term and mommies on computers don't mix!!! And now..... In no particular order... (well...

I don't want to kill everyone's email inbox with so many photos....so doing this speedy post. We had 8-10 inches of snow on Monday (which is a lot for our part of the world.) School was canceled and we had...

We finally seem to be over our jet lag...man did we struggle this time!! In true Dean fashion, he wasn't at all phased that days had suddenly become nights and nights had become days (it's an 8 hour time difference...
