First Grade is hard work

Blaine isn't the only one wiped out after a day of first grade. Looks like the dogs are feeling it too. It was took cute of a picture not to take. Have a good one.

New Orleans

As I have stayed home and watched TV tonight, I am saddened at the state of New Orleans. The devastation is unbelievable and the strive of the people are incomprehensible. This summer Kevin took me to New Orleans for my graduation present. It was the first time I had ever been. It was beautiful and extremely hot. I thought I would include some of my pictures I took so you could see the New Orleans before the tragedy.


The wonderful cemeteries. Very intriguing.


There were very interesting street performers.


Jackson Square

French Quarter



All the walking we did....... but it was worth it for the beignets.

Oh well, have a great night. It seems that things are looking up for the the hurricane victims. Help is arriving and they are getting some of the things that they need. It will be a long time before New Orleans looks like the pictures again if ever.....

We made it through another week

We made it through another week…..

It seems like forever since I have posted…….
Things are going well.

Blaine has taken to digital photography as well.
Look at a couple of self portraits that he has taken himself.

Look at those gorgeous blue eyes.

Blaine also found out what happens when you play too long on the monkey bars at school. Blisters…..

2 on one hand
1 on the other…ouch


Last but not least we had the Alphabet Museum at schoolfor Fun Friday. Blaine had the letter Y. He made a yellow yield sign with yarn letters and a yardstick handle with a yak on a stand yielding.
