We made the newspaper!

Every year the neighborhood closes off the street and has a "Monster March" at Halloween time. It usually draws about a thousand people give or take. This year Jillian and I made the neighborhood paper!

Jillian's classroom

We have added a link to Jillian's classroom website. It is on the left side of this page under our favorite links.

new camera tests

I purchased my Christmas present from my parents early. I bought a tiny Sony camera that would fit in my pocket and be easy for even Jillian to use. The image quality isn't as good as my bigger and more expensive camera, but for $100 it does exactly what it's supposed to and more. Great for taking quick shots to post to the web.

School Pictures!

Jillian's kindergarten picture has arrived. We have the digital image and can make copies if anyone wants one.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

We took Jillian to the airport EARLY this morning. She is going to Scottsdale, AZ for 7 days with my parents to see the desert, play in the pool and have an awesome time in the sun. At first, John and I were thinking, "Wow, we're kid free for a week," but as we watched her walk through the terminal, to the ticketed area, we both were very weepy. Now we're thinking, "Wow, we're kid free, " with a bit of sadness.

My mom called and said they landed, and Jillian talked the whole way and was very excited to look down from the plane and see all the swimming pools.

We beth know that she will have a ton of fun and are expecting a call nightly to talk about the days events.

Today John and I had a morning gym date, ran some errands, and are having a dinner date at our favorite Lebanese restaurant.

I cannot wait till I get to hug Jillian at the airport next Saturday!

I'm going to spend this week reconnecting with my best friend-husband, and take some peaceful moments for myself.
