Letters to Jackie
Mood:
blue
Now Playing: the washer and dryer
Topic: Home
My baby, Jackie is off on a grand adventure. She will be teaching in Jakarta, Indonesia for the next ten months at their Police Academy. Although I've ignored this blog for months, I thought it would be a great way for our family to update her on our daily activities.
So far today, Jack... I've cleaned house (aren't you surprised and amazed) ? 
Now I'm cleaning up electronics. I have more pairs of earphones than I can believe. I shall pass them on to the girls. I'm charging my HD radio so I can head out to mow the grass. I want to be all ready for Noah's birthday party. I'm picking him up an MP3 player from grandpa, the girls and I and will get him some sort of crazy toy from Aunt Jackie. I think Jamie needs for Noah to get a big huge supersoaker! Hard to believe our little guy is 7 today.
Blackjack is still doing great. He was off and running this morning. A little stiff legged but running! The girls are all having friends over for the day and to spend the night. One last sleep over before school starts. "It's almost time for school to start, do dah, do dah..."
I love you Susie Sunshine!
Here's a note from Sierra,

Such a long time!
Mood:
lazy
Now Playing: the ceiling fan
Topic: Knitting
It's been forever since I've update my blog. Summer is just flying by and it seems like I haven't done even half the things I planned to do. The girls are already planning school clothes and supplies and we haven't even gone on vacation yet!
I've been having fun completing some long overdue projects. Just finished a Luna Moth shawl which will be a shower gift for my future daughter in law Bekah. I think it will look lovely with her strapless gown.

Why?
Mood:
incredulous
Now Playing: The High Fiber Diet Podcast
Why does a two year old look this great first thing in the morning?
Why does a three year old wear a plastic container on her foot for an entire morning?
Can you tell these two are cousins? Man they look alike!

One bored three year old and two empty laundry baskets...
This was after we had a lovely morning outside catching snowflakes on our tongues. Onya says they taste like icing! She also loved making tracks in the snow on the trampoline.

Spinning
Mood:
celebratory
Topic: Knitting
I have become a spinamaniac! Katie's modeling an alpaca hat made from fiber graciously (yeah right) donated by her alpaca Colosus. I love spinning and it has become quite the thing for me to do in order to get some "me" time.

Cathi, her hubby Mel, Wayne and I attended Stitch and Pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates game. The Pirates lost but we had a super time. Got a lovely sunburn, the rain held off and much knitting done.

Oreos
Mood:
bright
Now Playing: Peace and Quiet !
Topic: Babies
I've been so terrible at keeping up with my blog this summer. We recently adopted our ten year old Sierra and got a new foster placement. D is a cute little nine year old who keeps me quite busy. She's decided she is staying with us so I think adoption number five will take place sometime next summer...
Mike, Karrie and Kat came up to visit for the 4th. Kat had a great time eating Oreos on Thursday night with the girls. She's growing up so darned fast.
