It's probably not a secret that Meyer members either save all sorts of odd things for future projects or sentimental value OR feel the need to have two of things.
I believe I am victim of both Meyer habits. But I have learned something not to save, even though it is against my being....school projects made with any food items. A Cameron original Halloween decoration paper plate spider was found packed adjacent to a bean wreathe. The beans and paper plate spider fell victim to rodent appetite. Lesson learned. (But don't get me wrong....the Meyer in me has that wounded paper plate spider hanging right next to the recently made Oliver original paper plate spider....an example of saving odd things AND the need to have two.)

Hope everyone is well.

I have learned today that a contract stating that a closing will be on or before October 15, 2006, does not mean the closing will be on or before October 15th.
Go figure.
Hmm...I'm thinking "contract" is the stupidest word to use for that packet of papers.
I guess we have no idea when to expect the closing for the white house.

Who changed the look to this blog? No problems, I like it. I just wish I knew how it was done.

Louisiana Wedding Celebration

It was a pretty quick weekend, but we were able to get a lot done. It was a great time and the trip wasn't too bad. We kept each other sane and awake (except Gizmo), so that's a plus.

Sounds like everyone's been busy (apparently Chris got a promotion, congrats). Talk to everyone soon.

White house update - All that's left in there....broom and vacuum.

Birthday Celebration

Jason and Kate - Have a safe trip to Louisiana!
Chris - Congratulations on the promotion!

Everything bagel....Deeeee-licious!

Everyone,

Thank you so much for being with us the past few days. Words cannot explain how much you mean to us.

Mom, Dad, Kate, Noah,

We would love any copies of pictures you had taken because we took none.

Hope everyone got home safely and look forward to talking to everyone soon.

Oliver watching his train that Daddy had fixed.

Cameron coming home. She ran off the bus with a huge smile on her face.

Chris - Thank you for all your help today (driving all that way, moving furniture, straightening Cameron's legs and helping Oliver get the pillow in the window - just to mention a few things)!

Maybe this will be the last picnic we have in the old backyard?

Can you believe the boy on my left will be married in less than a week? And the boy on my right with the naked face will soon be married for two months? And why are they both so much taller than me?!

Buon Compleanno!!

Not sure if I spelt that right, but Happy Birthday Katie! Hope you have a good time out in Rhode Island even if the weather is crumby. You can stay inside and play that French driving card game (Miles Borne?) Safe travel.

Happy belated Birthday to Sister-in-Law Jane. Hope the new school year start's off well for you. Also, let's observe a moment of silence for Pluto being demoted to a "dwarf planet". Sad.

Noah chipping...

Last weekend we visited the Cobleskill Fair. It was a fun day with great weather, ferris wheel, kiddie coaster, motorcycle ride, animals (cows, bunnies, chickens, goats, sheep, horses and more), corn-dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, model railroads, fried dough, smoothie.

Beautiful.

Any news?

Doesn't anyone use this blog anymore? OK here's the news: Jane & Chris have photos to share. Go to Ramirezpix.com/janechris. They are lovely, I must say. But then I always loved black and white photos. Must be my age.
Jason and Kate will be arriving sometime Friday afternoon, around 3:00. Have a safe trip.
Katie, tell those munchkins I'm coming for a sleepover, Wednesday afteronoon. Dad promised to use the apportunity to turn off all the water and work on the pipes in the family room.
Love you all,
Mom

Shower in LA

Been a while since anyone posted here. Kate and I finally found time to sit down at the computer and we thought we'd just let everyone know that we received toasting flutes at Kate's bridal shower! And a "thank you" to Mom and also to Grandma for the flatware, hostess set, and serving set. We can't wait to have everyone here so we can use them. Also Kate's parents and grandfather got us a combination printer/scanner/copier/time machine. We're very excited to use it to print out our invitations, so the people reading this know they are invited. And now for no reason, here's a creepy picture of Gizmo:

One Week!

One Week....One Week....One Week....Until my brother's wedding....One Week One Week.

Hey, I'm totally slacking on this blog but Noah rocks on the Brownsey Family blog. Check out the pics of my babies by using the link on the left side.
