These are a few of my favorite things...

Andy and I planted four of these hydrangea bushes our second summer in this house...we knew nothing about them and have managed to keep them alive and thriving, although it has not been hard. They bring me great JOY and satisfaction every MAY...and most unfortunately, will not survive where we are moving.

LOVED IT AGAIN!!!

I was lucky enough to see WICKED in 2006 right before Elisabeth came along...when I found out it was coming here...I jumped at the chance to go again and I'm so glad I did! It was a treat to go with great friends and the performance was FABULOUS!!!

WAY TO GO GRADUATES!!!

This last week Annie and her friends graduated from JOY SCHOOL, we had a little celebration for them at the park. It's been such a fun year with these cute kiddos...but I think all of us mamas were glad to bring the year to a close (one less thing to do is never a bad thing). The kids all sure learned a lot and had a great time getting together every week. Congrats ANNIE BANNANNIE!!!


Such CUTE kids...and not BAD odds for Banks!

The BIRTHDAY BOY

To the most generous husband and father I know...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Explanation, Excuses, Etc...

So, yeah, it's been a while since I paid any attention to this blog...APRIL was busier than I anticipated and something had to give. The sad part is a whole lot of great stuff happened in April and now, of course I regret not updating more...so here's the condensed version of:

A ton of fun trip with Jenn to New York City!
Practically living at the baseball fields with our boys.
Really great Easter weekend in upstate New York with Crowther cousins!
Incredible performance of Treasure Island, Alec and Nate both had parts.
Lucky enough to close on our house, and go look for a new one the day after!
