Welcome!!

Just wanted to say welcome to sweet new babies: Alivia and Andrew Nacar! They were born yesterday afternoon, about 9 weeks early, but are doing well. My friend Kristen just had her shower on Saturday. I said to her, we didn't think on Saturday that you would be a Mom today. Congratulations to Kristen and Chris!! These two will surely bless your lives!

Chris has started training for this year's MS 150. It will take place the first weekend in May. This will be his 3rd year to ride and it is something that he really looks forward to during the year.

Here's a cute picture of Caris...

Have a great day!

Good Friday Morning!

Well, it is cold and rainy here. I don't mind one or the other, but can't stand the two of them together.

It is shaping up to be a busy few days. McKenna is at school, has dance this afternoon and then a birthday party to go to this evening. Tomorrow I am giving the SAT and then onto a baby show for my sweet friend Kristen. She is expecting twins-one of each! Baby hugs to her and her hubby, Chris.

McKenna lost another tooth-she pulled it herself! Wow. The tooth fairy managed to dig up $3.05 in dollars and loose change.

Here is a new layout with McKenna. Chris took the picture when he took the girls fishing-I converted it to B&W.
Enjoy your day!

Its been awhile since I last posted...before Christmas? Where does time go?
In my case, it went to Iowa...my Grandmother passed away on January 11. She had been in decline for some time, and fortunately my Mom was able to get up there Thursday afternoon and spend some final time with her. Although my Grandma was pretty much out of it, due to pain medication, I really believe that she knew my Mom was there. My Dad and I drove up Saturday morning and got in about 10 that night. It was a relief just to be there for my Mom. By the way, Iowa is very cold in the winter, not sure if anyone realizes this...and there is snow-the real stuff. Not like what we have here. On Sunday, there was actually a man out running-running!! It was about 10 degrees-crazy!!! Anyway, we wrapped up all of matters and we will have a memorial service in late June-when its warmer...
We headed back on Tuesday, stayed in Kansas City and then drove on home on Wednesday. We were able to see the rest of our family while in KC, which was nice, just sorry circumstances.
On to lighter subjects...is anyone else tired of the writer's strike? No more new episodes of CSI:, Without a Trace, SVU, The Office and only 2 left of Brothers and Sisters! Thank goodness for Project Runway and my guilty pleasure, One Tree Hill.
I have really been doing quite a bit of scrapbooking lately and have actually had the nerve to post some layouts on my favorite site, Simply Obsessed. There are some talented ladies over there and I get inspired from them daily. Oh, and the monthly kits rock too! Check it out!
