I don't know why I video in B/W, but anyway...here it is.....only 2 weeks late posting!!! Camera had issues..............TGIF all!

Checking in

Sorry, we are busy with 1st day of school yesterday, and soccer practice. Hayden has a coach this year that LIKES to practice. Thought we'd never get home! Any way my camera crapped out so I don't know if I have any new photos to post. Of course I had to miss 1st day of school photos! I take them every year! Oh well it will be first week of school photos....LOL. Anthony started middle school. I'm terrified. He goes to school now with some really nasty, bad bullies that he had problems with in the past. So far he seems ok, but I wonder if he is telling me everything. He won't always tell us when kids are picking on him. I don't know why he isn't more like me......pick on me and I'll get in your face....he is a sweet gentle BIG guy. He's always been my lovebug. Now Hayden, he will take care of business...LOL...and I think Ms. Emily is going to be a tough cookie too!

Fliss I hope you are ok, I was having my morning coffee and the news came on from MELBOURNE FL. I about fell off the couch! They seem to be having some serious flooding down there......hope you are ok!!!!

Ok so here goes........

We met Cindi, David, and their son Davis this past weekend. They are a wonderful family. We met at the Outback, but of course there is never enough time and we could have talked forever I think! Just so much fun to finally meet Davis! He is so SWEET! Very quiet and watches every move.....unlike Emily who would have been swinging from the light fixture if I didn't hold on to her.......anyway Davis gave Emily a hug, and that was worth the trip!!!

Now for those of you that have been waiting!! The Asian Store is located in the Pottery Factory...it is in Lightfoot VA. I'm not sure if they have a website, but here are some photos of the store......it has EVERYTHING...except the clothing........I'm going to go back, of course probably to have a playdate with Davis, but also I'm going to pick up a doll or two for Emily!!!!! Enjoy the photos!!

PS......Fliss look at the Terra Cotta Warrior behind Emily...it is fenced off.....you can buy him!!!!!!! LOL!!! The umbrella was $4, the fan was $1.00, the dolls are $9.99....I believe the Lion/Dragon? statue is $5,000!!!!

Busy Week

We had a great time....I'm going to blog later, there is a LOT of things I need to share with you............this is going to be one of those killer busy weeks for me...............here are some Olympic photos we got in China..........back in October 07....

We are going bye-bye

Taking a short trip, to get away, say goodbye to summer bliss, and shop for school clothes.......I swear the boys got 3 inches taller this summer. So we are off to Williamsburg! Regina are you near? Maybe we can see some folks.....we meet so many people now with Emily..it is amazing......

Well as I speak the roofers are ripping our roof apart...I've been told they will be done by 5, so I am hopeful, but I can't leave until they are done, so I hope they get moving!!!!

Emily turns 3 next Saturday so I'm sure we will be doing some celebrating in Williamsburg!! For those that don't know...there is a terrific Asian Store near Williamsburg in the POTTERY FACTORY......this place has everything and I mean EVERYTHING...I'll post some photos when I get back.....I always find SOMETHING there!!

TGIF!!! Photo is of the Bass Pro Shop in VA....have to take Emily there!! She will love it!!!

WARNING: Yucky PHOTO Ahead! Do you know a Vet?

Our cat has the weirdest problems.......always....Smokey gets this spot on his back every summer. Then he won't leave it alone and it ends up getting sore. The vet said it was an allergy to the flea control. Well it's not even WHERE we put the flea control. I swear it's the birds! I have seen birds peck at his back before. I guess he gets near their nests......he is indoor/outdoor....sorry can't help it...I rescued him and he had been an outdoor kitty for some time and he wasn't having any parts of being a fat lazy house cat.

So thoughts folks? I guess I need a 2nd opinion from another vet............

Emily talks!

Hairbows and Pigtails..........NOT

Ok she is a Tomboy. And not only a tomboy, but a tomboy with an attitude. Yes we are in the almost terrible 3's. Everything lately has been "No!" "MINE!" So you can see by the stroller photo...no smiles!!!

What's up with us lately.....the pool, summer HEATWAVE, Hayden had his 8th birthday, Emily wants PRESENTS! She has to wait a few more weeks!! Ms. Emily has been throwing fits, which we must pretend we don't see or hear.......that is getting harder and harder................we will need to school shop soon....we are overwhelmed with TOMATOES, they all got red at the same time....I've been freezing lots and lots of tomato sauce.......my house is a wreck.....laundry never ends and I'm so behind on paperwork, but I can't make myself do it!!!
