New House

Here's a video of our tour of the new house. This was the day after the closing (6/8), and it still pretty much looks the same. Kate and I are credited as directors as well as camera operators.

Just a quick post--The R.I. House is Still Going.

Then we have the semi-permenant sink.

Yahoo! Last day of classes. Regents on Thursday... proctoring for a week. I'm going to miss the brats. Looking forward to new adventures. My trip to Maine was enjoyable but long drive. Glad I went, got lots of exposure. Hopefully I will be invited to return as an instructor in 2008.

Looking forward to family time in July. Miss you all. Katie, I keep playing your video to Noah. I love it. Congrats to Jason and Kate, the homeowners. Jason, congrats on your job, office with your name on the door! Hang in there Chris and Jane. You'll soon be homeowners too! Thanks for helping Dad in RI.
Hugs,
Mom

Here is something I made for Noah for our anniversary. Thought you might enjoy seeing our little rascals. (There is music)

Would love to hear about how the house hunts are going. Sounds like all the newlyweds have something in the works.

Happy Birthday Kate!

House For Sale

It's official that the house we're renting is on the market now. Unfortunately, we spent this past weekend getting phone calls about it and sitting in our neighbor's driveway spying on the prospective buyers.

We're going through the process of figuring out if this is where God wants us right now. Also, we spend time looking at walls and figuring out what changes we would make to the place to make it something people would buy years from now.

We shall see what the next few days bring and also hope that Chris and Jane are steered in the direction in which they are also meant to be.

Oh yeah, I graduate in a month. We aren't going anywhere and the invite is still open for anyone to come here (5/11-5/13). We may own a house, we may not, but at least we can hang out.

Will keep everyone posted. "This was Jason, yo."

Finally, photos from Branson

Kate and I visited Branson, Missouri (home to the Yakov Smirnoff theater) with Jack and Kathy during the week of March 3-10th. It was a good time as we saw plenty of live entertainment of music, magic, and plenty of horses and other animals in the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede.

Hidden in the Ozark Mountains, Branson is famous for being full of shows and entertainment and we were about 4 minutes drive from it all. We took some boring video, but we won't force that on anybody, so enjoy the pictures.

Next up will be updates on our housing situation and graduation party. Hope all is well with everyone.

Stapler Experiment

Seems my little man was trying out a stapler and it stopped working so he gave it to the Daddyo. He later brought over a handful of staples. Then later brought the Daddyo undies stapled closed with seven staples.
So do you think there is a message there...when a little boy learning to use the potty...staples his undies closed?
My little man is always up to something.

Mancala with candy!

Great idea Chris. Cameron and Oliver had a good time.
Jane was right - the candy does get handled alot and some even melted.
So for anyone interested in a Mancala sugar rush....skittles melt to make sticky little hands....Wonka bottle caps (which rock!) and smarties work well.

It's Finished!!!!

My first quilt is complete.

New Blogger! Woohoo!
I can post things again. Thanks Jason.

Congratulations Kate on the new job!

Chris/Jane Check out Mom using your Xmas gift.

Wishing Cameron a Healthy Recovery

Kate and I are hoping that Cameron is well on her way to feeling better. We are keeping her and everyone in our prayers and thoughts.

When she does return home, here's a video that may cheer her up. Love everyone.

Jason and Kate

Hello. I know my children have wonderful loving grandparents and these grandparents have been busy on the phone. So I do want to share the latest...
Oliver is doing well. His meds for strep throat seem to have treated him well. Aside from a cough and periodic runny nose (and who doesn't have that this time of year) he is the wild ball of Oliver energy we love and can't keep up with.
Cameron is doing better each day since Monday night. Her meds for strep throat (which she ended up not having) were not as helpful. One week later she is in the hospital with a belly full of air and terribly dehydrated. Today she asked for her brother to visit and she got the okay to try clear fluids....and jello has unleashed the hunger....Daddyo just called and Cameron asked for a sandwich and chips. So she's hungry! Hopefully she and I can inhale a bag of chips in our comfy pants at home soon....in the meantime we're thankful for each day that she feels a little bit better.

The car did kick off the new year back on the road!

Tiny Tim

I have a little turtle
His name is Tiny Tim
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim...

Cameron and Oliver continue to sing one of the songs their Aunt Kate taught them in December. We can't help but join in. We are struggling with the banana song though Aunt Kate. Can't remember the words.

Cameron and Oliver have meds and hopefully they will feel better very very soon. Hope the Meyer's are all well!

"This is the best day ever!"

Cameron and Oliver have been saying this each day since they found the Christmas decorations.

R.I. Update

Here's some recent pictures from this week. As you can see the floor is done and we have a new storm door.
