Morning Muses




Some mornings it is so beautiful outside we venture out and play a little before breakfast...

The colors are so vivid and the air so fresh and the sounds so soft....

Who could ask for more to the start of a brand new day...

Mother's Day 2008




We had a lovely Mother's Day this year (my second)....

I can see how being a Mom is only gonna get better & better...

Had scrumptious brunch with....

Great Grandma A, Dad, Peg, Peg's Dad William, Mom, Bill, Todd, Ryder, Cassidy & me...

Played tennis and badminton afterwards....

Beautiful day...

I actually caught 2 rare shots of the twins in the frame at the same time....
To all the moms out there a big hug from this mom for doing such a great job!

Past Treasures

Cassidy has this exact same hair-dont occurance that baby Todd has here

Andy is just so suave in this shot...the tumbs in the pockets and fingers dangling out...who taught him the look?

Here is baby Mark....so very Ryder

Baby Todd with ball.....
Cassidy can do the exact same look

MY FIRST TRIP TO THE SALON

The Flying 2008's

OK, so I've been more than remiss in keeping my blog up to date...
To hopefully amend my lapse in bloggage here is the cut to the chase version of all happenstances since the last post -

First you have Thanksgiving... Which was wonderful we had a full house of Carol, Jeff, Kaylynn, Lauren (Jeff's daughters), Uncle Dave, Aunt Nancy (Ohio Meixner Clan), Mark, Cheri, Matthew, Andy & Christy (of the Wisconsin Meixners)Marc, Great Grandma A (of the Anderson Branch) and of course Ryder, Cassidy, Todd & I, all gathered for an amazing meal prepared by chef Carol along with many tales of good family times!


Then you have the Twins 1st Birthday!
Which was awesome, they had a party with all their friends and cake of course!

Next we have Christmas......Which was so fun, we gathered at my mom's house for a tasty x-mas eve dinner and then celebrated x-mas day at our abode with various family members from the Anderson and Engstrom/Allen clans all dropping by. I made my first turkey (with assistance from Carol) which turned out delish!

AND THEN 2008 WAS HERE AND STARTED FLYING BY...................................
