Snow?

I think nature missed the spring memo. It's snowing.

Quick Picture Ketchup

Okay, I finally got some pictures onto my computer! A couple of weeks ago, I had a cold and I completely lost my voice. I was getting ready to go to work and I told Cam I lost my voice and shortly after, I found him like this. I asked what he was doing and he told me he was searching for my voice. The pan was his hat. That kid always makes me laugh!



Every day, when I'm at work and Jeff is at school, this takes place downstairs. This is Paigie and her daddy working in his office. I asked Paige what she was doing and she said she was helping Daddy edit photos. Jeff set up this computer and he lets Paige play on it. Last night she was down there playing a Dora matching game. She's getting really good with the concept of using a mouse and she correctly matched a bunch of animals. Dora Dora 'Splorer... Backpack Backpack.




Then, it was Cammy's turn to be sick. Poor little guy. Here he was sleeping on the couch, Buzz Lightyear on his shirt, Superman on his pillowcase and Cars on his blanket. Paige decided to go over and give him a kiss. She can only do that when he is sleeping or he has a panic attack about it.

Then Daddy was sick! Here's Paige snuggling with her dad.

I love this picture! I have a little stuffed sheep dog and Genevieve likes to sleep with it. There is also a giant stuffed sheep dog in Cam's room and she likes to snuggle with that too. Silly puppy.
If I go downstairs, this is where I find my Genevieve. Waiting for me. She's a sweetie!

Paige poured herself a bowl of Kix for breakfast. The dogs helped clean it all up.


Binks totally crashed on the couch.

Good bye, Angela. I will miss you.

Although I hadn't seen her in about 10 years, I very clearly remember Angela Schuster (now Svendsen) as an absolutely amazing violinist and a kind, upbeat, silly person. I wish I had stayed in contact with her.

Angela was coming home from a rehearsal when the car she was travelling in was hit head on by a drunk driver going the wrong way on I-5. She and another violinist were killed and the third musician in the car suffered minor injuries.

Here are a couple of pictures of Angela I found while looking for information on the accident.

It's Friday again!

Yay! I like Fridays. Mom came over on the train this morning and we spent the day here doing nothing. The kids were so excited to have her here. Mom and I went and had our nails done and then we did a little shopping and came home. Cam had gone to bed all by himself and was sound asleep when we got back at 6:30. I guess grandma wore him out!

The other day, at dinner, Cam insisted we were eating corn on the cob. We explained that it's only on the cob if there is a cob involved. He was sure it was corn on the cob and said so and then said "I know everything. (pause) Except about technolog. Dad, will you teach me about technolog?" That was supposed to be 'technology' but he left the y off. Silly boy!

Paige got a hair cut

I have pictures, but they are all pixely and weird looking so you'll have to do without for now. Jeff and the kids went to the barber yesterday and got hair cuts. Paige had her very first! Jeff said she did pretty well, but really didn't sit still. It looks better now than it did, but it's still a mess :) I like it that way though, so it's okay. Cam tried to save some hair clippings for me, but there weren't enough, so I clipped a chunk off when she got home. It will grow back!

I have some good pictures to post of the kids, so hopefully I'll get the quality figured out. I think I need help from Jeff.
