Hi Marti

Men - can't live with 'em - can't shoot 'em

 

[Glynis]

Glynis, can we send you a few of our favorite recipes for your DDA cookbook?

I'd love it! I'm keeping the recipes on my computer so when Kate is ready to do the Pixie Dust Zone, I can get her all the recipes.

Someone please pry this laptop from my hands. I have so many things I need to be doing but I don't want to!

I have never had that problem. What could you be talking about?

Vicki-

Would you mind if I still called you tomorrow? I am such a nervous wreck right now about flying....I have so many issues(more like a subscription) about flying I am going to need you to calm me down.

Tomorrow I will be 35. My mom asked me last night if I felt 35. I told her no because I have two more days until I am!!

35? wow. I think I remember that age.

It's not a bad age dear.
Happy early 35th birthday.

I went to check the mail today and in with the regular stuff was the cars from Deb!! Thanks Deb!!
and.....drum roll please!!!! My replacement ID!!! so no one has to come and pick me up in Cleveland and I will be in Maryland a little after 6 tomorrow night. My bank card didn't come in the mail but that's something I can work around....thanks all for your Pixie dust and prayers...I am a much relieved camper right now!!


On a side note my daughters are right now painting shirts to wear tomorrow that says it's my mom's birthday. Thankfully they don't say how old I am.

Yeah on the replacement ID!!! Happy Birthday a little early!!!!

Kate called and Nick is done with his echo. He did not have to be sedated, as he was such a big boy and kept perfectly still.

She said there was nothing major at this point, but she still has to wait for the results to come in. Keep them in your prayers.

I guess Steve had a guilty conscience for making Kate suffer through the tests alone, because he ended up showing up at the hospital, but they were already done. So the three of them had lunch together. She is going to pick up Julia and will be on later.

Thanks for giving us this information, Tammi! I'll keep them in my prayers until we hear the results. Hooray for Nick being such a big boy! I know she was worried about sedating him!

35? wow. I think I remember that age.

It's not a bad age dear.
Happy early 35th birthday.

Thanks!! at my party I was the youngest (other than the kids) by a decade....I have always hung out with the "older" crowd!!

I think being a young parent will help in HS as I can remember all to well what happened in HS. Plus I am still a cool mom!!

We just got home from Alyssa's first ballet class. Now I can't get her out of her leotard and tights.

The pictures are so darling! I can't believe how grown up she looks. She's going to be a heart breaker, isn't she?!?

 

[julia & nicks mom]

That's great news Kate!!! Time to celebrate at the Cheesecake Factory!

meet me there?!?!!?

which reminds me - we bought cedar point tickets at an auction but b/c of my surgery - we can't use them -

do you know anyone who would want them?

Pepper Pot

2 lbs. Hamburger
3 large cans tomato juice (I use Campbell's)
8 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 packages bow tie noodles (Farfalle)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Make small to medium balls with the hamburger, place in very large pot.

Add water (just enough to cover the meat).

Cook on medium heat until meat is done, add tomato juice and potatoes.

Add the bow ties when potatoes are half way done, cooking until bow ties are al dente.

Another yummy sounding recipe! I've added it to my collection.

SNOWBALL COOKIES

1 c. butter
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sifted flour
1 c. chopped nuts (pecans)
Additional confectioners' sugar (for rolling)

Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add remaining ingredients, mix. Use a teaspoonful of dough and roll into small ball. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly and roll in confectioners' sugar.

I am definitely adding this to my Christmas Cookie collection. Yummy!

Tia I am so happy to hear that you will be back home with your family. You will also be a little closer to me Good luck to your dh on finding a jod quickly

WHO - ME! And Phil and Terra
WHAT - Moving to St. Louis (home of my mommy, daddy, 3 sisters, 2 BIL, 1 niece, 1 nephew and 1 niece or nephew to come)
WHEN - Approx Aug 16 for me and Terra, end of August for Phil
WHERE - Living with my parents for awhile to help out my mom for awhile and will take care of my sister's kids as well
WHY - I miss my mommy! Even more I miss being the stay-at-home kind of mommy! When work took away my half day's working at home that was kind of the end of if for me here. It just hasn't worked out to be best for Terra and I think she (and I) will really benfit from living close to cousins so close in age (2 and 4, plus baby).

Nick and I are home - Julia didn't want to leave Grandma yet!!

He was SO good during his test and they were nice enough to let him try without sedation and he did awesome -I could not believe he stayed still for 1/2 hour!!!

At the end of the test I asked how I would get the results and they told me my doctor would call me but if it was serious they would not let me leave the hospital.

I then asked - and we can go

she said yep!!!!

So now I just have to hear back from my doctor - it isn't nothing yet - but at least it isn't something serious!!

I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders!! I can't wait to get a full report!!!

Thank you all for your support the past few weeks!!! It has meant the world to me!!

Kate - I'm so relieved for you! Not to mention the rest of the family! We'll just keep praying until you get the results of the test back. Any idea when that will be?

No thanks are necessary. We are family, and that's what family does: support each other!
