What's funny...

Thought the mood around here could use some lightening...every time I catch these on Sesame Street I almost pee down my leg! Enjoy!

Editing to say...hope someone else finds these as hilarious as I! Bj just watched them and found NO humor...is it just him? (Or just me?) :)

Goodness

I'm sure you've all seen the news...it's so hard to watch, but even harder to look away. I was so grateful to have Bj sitting next to me as the news of the bridge collapse broke...every day he criss-crosses the cities going from job to job and supplier to contractor, crossing the I-35 bridge a couple times a week. Had he not been home from work yet, I'm certain my alarm would have been immeasurable! Catastrophes like this are always a reminder of how our lives truly are "a vapor in the wind". I can't imagine the pain and difficulty of not knowing the whereabouts of family members, of being able to do nothing but wait--I'm so thankful to have my family safe and sound and intact.

I apologize for not coming to you with happy news and the fun pics I promised, but this is life.

Last night my Grandpa Harold passed away, peacefully. He lived a long 95 years! Services will be on Saturday--he'll be remembered for his generosity and gentle heart. And the root beer barrels and Werther's he kept in his pockets, ready to share! Anyway, I may be a little busy the next couple days, so the good pictures and happy updates will have to be put off a little longer.

Hug the people you love!

Oh Dear!

Has it really been since the 6th?? Apparently time has flown. I'm so sorry. Things have been rather busy...Bj's buried in work, I started a new job, Grandpa Rob came for a visit (which was fanTAStic!), and time just keeps on hurrying along.

Here's the sad part...for some reason, there are very FEW pics from while Grandpa Rob visited. NO idea why?? Also, my camera has been acting up...not focusing? Frustrating. I'll dig deep and see what goodness I can find to post though...later.

Oh, also, I've declared this week the "Week of Finishing Stuff"...there. Now it's official. This means there must be pictures of finished stuff within the week. You heard it here first.

So stay tuned for pics. Just making some noise so you know we're still here!

Care for a "Tuptake"?

What's on the menu? (If you ask Abby, she'll tell you, "TUPTAKES!!!") Cupcakes with pink frosting for a mid-morning snack, yum.

Mmmm...scrumptious! Good enough to share!

Doesn't this dress make Abby look like she belongs on that cooling rack, lined up with all the other pink cupcakes?

And a goofy boy wearing Mama's "grandma glasses"...

C'mon over, there's plenty cupcakes to share!!
