Sophia Ear Piercing

This procedure was quick. Two ladies , each took hold of one Sophie's ear lobes and counted 1,2,and 3. Then it was all over except for the tears. A kiss from Mom made it all better.

Storm Bros. Ice Cream

We stopped for Ice Cream before heading home. What a fun evening!

Haley and Alex Haley

Bobbie shares her Starbucks coffee.

These are statues of children listening to Alex Haley read the Book "Roots". Haley just made herself comfortable with the Family and she even tried to turn the pages for Alex.

Ducks@Dock

Dick, Courtney and Haley feed bread to Ducks. They gave us so much Bread @ Pusser's, that we stopped at the dock to feed the Starving Ducks.

Toys R US with Haley

We went to Toys R US on Friday. Dick has off on Fridays, so we were able to pick Haley up at the Child Care Center, and spend the Afternoon with her. At the toy store , Haley selected a Blonde Pigtailed baby dressed in Pink which she promptly named Sophia. Then I helped her select a Barbie...(Barbie in Aqua Blue with Matching Aqua Blue Mo-Ped). Before we left Haley needed a ride in the boat with Tigger. Next we went to California Pizza Kitchen. Finally, we went back to the house and watched Little Bear until it was time for her to go home. Dick and I really had an enjoyable afternoon.

Dinner @Kyma

We met Steph, Greg & Karen for dinner in Annapolis. Everything was delicious! It was a Mediterrean restaurant. It was open air, and begin to get a little chilly as the evening wore on. We had some coffee and tea to warm us up. Greg was obsessing with photographing the food.

Dance Class

The girls were good at this bar because they have had plenty of practice on the swings in the backyard

This is not a Conga Line, but the way the girls are transitioned from ballet to gymnastics class. Sophia and Paige are the ones with leg warmers. They both had very good balance on the Beam.

Mo, Mom, and G'Mom in Idaho

I fixed Mom an omlet and Mo a Bacon sandwich. They both seemed to enjoy. Mo overlooking G'Mom eating her pasta dinner Since Mo was too full she brought her desert home to eat later.

Visit from Dick 7.28.07

Dick came down for a weekend visit since the fares were a good price. Friday night we went to the Little Theatre in New Smyrna, after trying the Ocean Club Restaurant. I had yummy Conch Fritters and grilled veggies. I was trying to make good selections since I lost 5.6 # this week for a total of 9.8 #'s. The play I am afraid got a thumbs down, but maybe it will get better, since this was opening night. Saturday morning we went to the Art Walk on Flagella and stopped for Coffee at the Beach Buns. Saturday night we met with the St Peters Group for dinner. This time it was a little more difficult, since it was a homestyle cookin' meal. "Cocoa-Cola" ham and sweet potatoes. I had to dig into my extra WW points! I had some Bread Pudding for dessert, that was not wise, I had no ideas it was that many points! Sunday we woke up early and met Melissa and the girls at the Beach. Dick managed to finish his Harry Potter book that he bought on the Airplane. I thought I might need to hide it from him, because he read it every spare moment. We did go to see HP movie, which had rec'd 2.5 *'s , but I thought it was at least 3*'s. We grilled out, which I love to do and would do more often if it was more than me. So, I had a great weekend, I just hope my WW weigh-in won't be a bust. I'll need to go on strict selection while in Idaho.

WW Blueberry Cobbler

Today Paige and Sophia came over while Emma was at Art Camp, to help me make Blueberry Cobbler. I found the Recipe on WW site, and decide since Paige like Blueberries this would be a good treat to make, and it was only 3 points per serving. We made a blueberry mixture, including lemon zest, so the girls were able to use a zester. After we made the mixture , Sophia made the dough, and Paige rolled it into a Ball (then she decided she would try making a mountain). We then made 12 little balls, which was fairly simple since the girls had experience from playing with Play Dough. Sophia wanted to lick everything clean. Then we popped them in the oven, and Sophia kept careful watch. When Melissa and Emma returned from Art Camp, we had our little snack, but Paige declined, I quess since it was something different.

Big Momma

I was so hot after doing my yard work , that I jumped in with my clothes on. Actually it was my pilates clothes, because when I came back from class I began working in the yard immediately before it became too hot and the Thunderstorms rolled in.. Since I was next to the blower in the Spa my tank top began to expand. Sophia and Paige were fasinated with the idea of a Grandma with big Boobs. They just wouldn't stop pounding on my new expansion.

Sunday Morning Feeding the Seagulls

We went to the beach about 7:30 am on Sunday. First we stopped at the New Dunkin Donuts on Beachside. Of course I only got a cup of black coffee since I am on WW and who knows how many points a chocolate sprinkle donut would be. We had pound cake and angel food cake left over from the Book Club mtg that was at my house, so that was my contribution. I have tried not to nibble, and so I have lost 4.2 # my first week. That leaves about 33 # before I meet my goal. Anyway, the birds were not too impressed with my cakes. As a matter of fact we could not get much of a group to gather, like we used to do at Myrtle Beach or Cape Hatteress, were they would flock at the sighting of a single bread crumb being tossed into the air. While we were relaxing on the beach a jogger lady stopped and asked to take our photo, because she was a photgrapher , and she thought the setting with the sky was so nice. I don't know if she meant she was a professional, or that it was her hobby, but here you can see her results. Of course the girls could not resist digging in the sand even though they did not bring their shovels.
