A quick stop to eat and in a minute I cross the bay bridge - my old nemesis. I'll be fine, but please say a prayer that the HOV lane is open on 95. Love you all!

It's official...
SHE'S PACKED!!! All that's left is a water bottle and the granola she's going to share with her fellow delegates in Miami. 15 more days!

Sad but true...
So today, for the first time in 2 1/2 years (since moving to Philly), I can finally say it: all our vehicles are officially titled, tagged and inspected in the state of Pennsylania! WOOOHOOO!!!!
Thank you, God, for watching over us and for helping me to FINALLY get this stupidly monumental task done. And, I think there was a method to it all, because we had to get the front windshield replaced. And because I have Harry Press Auto for a mechanic, I got a brand new - with heating element! - windshield for $220. WOW. When I looked into it years ago they wanted over $800! So once again God takes care of things, and I am super grateful. Have a successful day everyone; I'm trying to!

Bethany's dance!

Most of all, I'm proud of her for going, and - more importantly - going with a positive attitude and open mind. But I'll let the pictures tell the story!
Love to all...

Hans' birthday party!
Now if my stupid tooth would stop aching. Ah, thank God for Valium. And Vicodin. Whichever is working right now...
Love to all - and Happy Birthday Hans!






Stand down, Noah...

After the torrential downpour, the backyard looked better in the morning. THIS is a picture of 'better'. LOL. <sigh> I am super grateful that there was only a small wet area in the basement; without our water-proofing, it would have been a disaster!
Love to all...

Hans...
Ended up visiting the hospital tonight. Abdominal pain, no interest in his ravioli at dinner... so we went to the ER. It seems it's just agitated stomach issues - thank God! He'll stay home tomorrow and rest. Better safe than sorry! And still so cute.
Happy Birthday, Hans!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Awesome deal...

Click here to see the deal!
It's supposed to allow you to use the phone, as well - take pictures, etc. Since we like to travel - heck, just going to the pool or beach - and I take my phone everywhere, I thought this would be a great opportunity. I'd love to give you a real review, but I won't have it before the deal is up. (I will be testing it, first though - just to make sure!).
Love to all...

Happy Birthday, Cody!


So it was a really nice birthday. Cody seemed to enjoy himself and relax, and eat lots of great food, and overall be adored. As he should be every day. And thanks Mom and Dad for calling him tonight to wish him a happy birthday; it means a lot to both of us in our own ways.
Love to all...

Mother's Day
Hi all...
I know I'm slacking lately; just when I should be writing daily because there's so much going on, there's so much going on I can't seem to keep up! So I'll backtrack a little, and get everyone up to date.
Last Sunday was really lovely; actually, my Mom's day started Friday night, since Cody and I went dancing and then out for drinks with some friends from dance class. We haven't been 'out' with another couple in a while - or at all - so it was spontaneous and fun! Saturday Bethany's LAX game was cancelled, so we got to relax a little, but I had a wedding to sing for, so I went to work. Then some shopping on the way home, dinner together, and then Hans took me to a Ladies & Lads dance at school. And he actually danced with me!
Sunday, after church, we headed out to Longwood Gardens. We stopped at a huge nursery on the way there (one I'd always wanted to visit), and found the Lantana that we've been looking for ever since leaving NC. It was one of the plants we'd had out front and Hans has been asking for them. So after a few plant purchases, we stopped at Mile High where Cody had made lunch reservations; it was wonderful! Finally, onto Longwood Gardens; it was CHILLY. Especially for May! But we had a lovely time; everyone took lots of pictures, and we just enjoyed being outside, together. It seemed like a while since we'd just hung out together... That evening we heated up leftovers, watched Once, and ended a really great Mother's Day. Oh - and I got some Coconut Coffee, the Les Miserables dvd (which is great, but still not as good as seeing it live), and a really awesome 'garden' hat. You'll see in the picture.
I hope all my friends who are mother's, plan to be mother's, and/or have mother's (which is everybody), had a great day. Remember, hug a mom - every day you can!
