KiKi at the Pool

KiKi is adjusting to life around the pool. She is guarding the table where the girls usually have their lunch. Laying around, sunning and thinking Puppy thoughts.

New Dog - KiKi

Mom got a new dog...I think she's gonna need backup

Have You Seen Any Of These Characters?

TRS last seen at a Spa in Florida....his many disquises which may or may not include a full Freud Beard, Pilates active wear, and various hues of Half-Shirts.

St Valentine Ice Storm 2/14/07

I just returned from the eye doctor after my follow-up visit. (They said I have 20/25 vision)I had cataract surgery yesterday, and when I got home the snow/ice had started. This morning I had to be at the doctor's at 8am, all the schools and govt were closed, but Dick braved the storm to get me to my appt. Dick snapped this pix before I went back into hibernation. Later that evening, we had Valentine Dinner with the Cross Family, since they had no electricity. Actually, they had no electric until Friday, so they spent Thursday night with us, after testing their -30 degrees sleeping bags on Wednesday night.

Restful Weekend

We started our weekend visiting Chris and A in NJ, and ended up in Havre d'Grace on Sunday (Dick on sectional couch)

Baby Eden 2/18/07

We visited Chris, Ed and Eden in Havre d'Grace this weekend. The aunts and Uncle and cousins were also visiting from Illinois. Mom Chris is looking Great! Grandma Barb is just beaming with joy for her newest grand-daughter. Capt Bobbie still has the touch, she was able to settle the baby down for a little snooze.

Back to Our Routine

Well, wouldn't you know it, as soon as my friend leaves, we are hit with another warm spell. The girls are testing the new bubble foutain in the Spa. I just had some warranty work done on the pool. They re- painted the deck , and connected the pipes for the fountain. If you are wondering why Emma is missing in some of these shots, it is because on Mondays and Fridays I usually watch the girls while their Mother Subs and Emma is in School. We usually go to Pilates at 9am, come back have a snack, swim until lunch, then Nap (Paige only needs to Rest) until their Mom and Emma are finished at school.

Joyce Visit--January 2007

My friend Joyce came to Florida for a visit. Unfortunately, she came during the cold spell. Paige looks like she is unhappy because the swimming area is closed.I said last winter we would come for the summer and go for a swim and boat ride. We never did, so I will say it again. Hopefully we can plan a trip for warm weather. This trip to Blue Springs, I tried to get a shot of the Heron near shore since we saw over 70 Manatees. Joyce and I went to Mt Dora for a day trip while she was here. We went to the Tea Room for lunch, and then did some shopping. I always enjoy company, and I hope Joyce and my other friends come to visit .

Captbobbie----Sub Teacher

I have been substitue teacher at Paige/Sophia school. So far, I know that lunch and Nap are my favorite subjects.

Paige enjoying her lunch. I believe one of those containers has blueberries and the other has Goldfish crackers

Paige taking her nap but keeping a watchful eye on everyone's move.

Happy Birthday Gregory!

We went to Mike's for Gregory's B'Day. I am not sleepy, I am just trying to make sure my eyes are open when the pix is taken. Gregory sent this via mobile phone, but I have not been able to send a pic to my blog from my cell. I will need to do some studying when I get back to Florida.

Habitat for Humanity

Episcopal Churches in the County, including St Peter the Fisherman in New Smyrna Beach have helped build houses.

I actually helped paint the outside of this house. I am ready to paint my own house now.......a MANGO color.

My Dream Doggie

Emma just got the most adorable Yorkie. She wanted to post pics of her new doggie on my blog. The doggie's name is Roxie

Face Painting

Grandma Anne and the Boys came over for Pizza Saturday night. She is quite an artist, the children loved her art work. Noah kept very still for his Grandma Anne. Sophia had a small Dolphin, that was as long as she could hold still. Paige selected a Fairy similar to Emma's

Emma's Birthday Party 1/6/2007

Oh Boy! I am having fun! having Fun! At my Birthday Party. First we played with the Parachute and everyone had fun. I have hot dogs and crustable sandwiches at my party. My decorations were hung at the park. They were either horse or blue/green. I had cupcakes with green icing and a trail made of orioles that were crumbled up. They had a horse on each cupcake. I am having fun opening my presents at my Birthday Party. This is a Dora Memory game. Thank-you everybody for coming to my 6th Birthday Party. (Now my Grandmother is making me go to bed for the last time) love, Emma

Quick Dip

You must think the only thing we do is lie around and play in the pool. Loki and Boda keep careful waych over the girls. Emma and Paige doing their "Laptops", at least that is what Paige calls it , although Emma reminds her it is really "Laps" See Boda is never very far away.

Emma's Real Birthday 1/2

I bought the girls a regulation size school table and chairs for their B'day. I hope this will encourage them to stay in the playroom and not to fight for a space, since it is suppose to seat 6. We had Brownies and ice cream on Tuesday night for Emma, but her B'day Party with her friends is on Saturday. The kids played on the Moon Bounce that Nanny bought them. Dick spots Will and Emma as they slide down .

Happy New Year 2007

Mike instructs Sailor about shucking oysters and throwing the shells in the Hole. We went to Judy and Roger's for NY eve What a Party Boy! Almost Midnight!!!!
