we now have a new ride in our stable a 92 aerostar. It was something of a found item,but we all fit! So that makes three! we will be selling the Escort, and the VW will be done at some point. I promise!
My extra time has been going into the other cars, so that they pass inspection

An ommision

Sorry this is not a family post, but something I have to put out there none the less.
I am not proud of our country....


it is a very tuff read. If you are not in tears you have no soul.

Oh Skoda!

well we are all just getting over a household bug.
Nate was hit the hardest, and didn't enjoy it at all.
he seems a little different now, his permeant chipper-nes has warn off some. Now when he is unhappy, he flails his body in protest. and when milo takes something of his he is not afraid to scream!

Mr. Nate.

ah, maine

I have been meaning to write a note about the little guy. Nate has been getting bigger by the second and keeping us on our toes. He loves to point and make hand gestures to grab everything. He is at that age where they love taking everything out of the basket, box, ect. Milo is becoming a pro at taunting Nate with remote controlled cars, and "fishing for nate"
I think Nate will be a climber, he does the steps daily, just going up and down for fun. I look away and he is atop something I didn't think he could get up on! The best part is that he loves music! to make it, to dance. His little baby dance makes my day everytime, it is like a butt shake with a little head bob tossed in.

What to do?

If you had a stage, and a yard to hold 40 to 50 people what would you do?
I personally would hold a "Lake Fest"
IT would be a cross between a concert, and a county fair, with a swap meet thrown in.
Maybe a giant tree swing thrown in....

any thoughts>?

There have been so many milestones of late....
first, Nate's feat-climbing the stairs.....which he loves and does repeatedly all day....
He really loved the beach in Maine and made good friends with sand...
He loves music and tonight we even caught him dancing to Radiohead, which truly warmed this heart, indeed.
His loves-bread, Milo and making noise.
Dislikes-car rides, diaper changes and squash.

well we are back, we got in last night at 8 pm. The trip home was much harder than the trip up. I think the boys were done being in there car seats. Milo also was working on a little feaver. The best part about long trips away is coming back to your own bed! The 90 degree weather ,not so much. The trip was worth it and we had lotsa fun with all of our friends in Maine. Thanks everybody ever so much.

Well we were supposed to be in Maine right now, on a 11 day vacation. As luck would have it we got stuck. One of the cooks in the kitchen quit and I had to stay to cover. I ended up working 55 hours! Tonight is my last night, and tomorrow we hit the road running..
I am sad to say no bus yet. I haven't had a whole lot of time, and I didn't want to rush it.

its family, you know.

haaay, its family.

Just wanted to post this photo of us together as a family. I think this may be the first one of us all together. Chris was the photographer too. NOt to shabby.
All is well, couldn't hope for more.
