Blast from the Past x 2

Rowan and Brynn are both sporting vests that Meg and I wore when we were babies for Grandma's birthday party:) We decided Doodle looks a bit like Teddy Ruxpin...or a quarter of a barbershop quartet!

Mom's Birthday Pics

Here's a recap of last weekend's birthday bash...stay tuned, Dad's birthday is coming soon...HUGE thanks to Katie and Darin for hosting both. With our house on the market, they kinda get dumped on:(

Riley the Fashionista? - TIGF

Riley certainly has her own sense of style. Shall we say it is Punky Brewster-ish? This week she saw an episode of Olivia where she was putting on a runway fashion show. This was Riley's attempt at her own catwalk creations.

Things I am grateful for this week: My kids and their creativity. I love watching them learn and develop personalities!

AHS Update

I was asked recently for an update on our fundraising progress for the AHS walk. To date with online and off-line donations we are at $665 towards our $2000 goal. If you would still like to make a donation we have less than 8 weeks to get there. Click Here to make an online tax deductible contribution. Or send me an e-mail with a pledge for your donation offline. Checks can be made out to Animal Humane Society. I will need all offline donations by April 22nd and online donations by April 26th I think. Pre-registration for the walk is normally the Wed. or Thurs. before the event.

Remember, if you'd like to join us, the Walk is April 30th from 9-2. We LOVE having a crowd with us. Please consider coming out for a day of family fun or just some fun people/animal watching!

New Book

Thank you Mark and Linda for the book in the mail! I don't know how you read that and recorded it without crying. Riley said "This book is so loving that it makes me want to cry." And then she talked into the microphone part each time one of you was speaking and said "I love you Grandma Linda" or "I love you Grandpa Mark" after each page. She has really grown up and I can't believe how much she understands missing you. She misses you both too! And she wants to have a sleepover party when you get back! Hope you're enjoying the sun!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Happy Birthday to the Best Mom EVER! We love you and hope you have an amazing day! Riley can't wait to wear her party dress this weekend! Thanks for being awesome in so many ways:)

Riley's Random Places

Riley has taken to watching TV or snuggling with Daddy in some weird places.
