This is weird! The pictures I just uploaded didn't show up right, but they posted... Must be the new browser I'm using?
Things are going well here... except we have no phone! The battery completely died and so all I can do is listen to people leave messages! It feels so lonely!
Owen is laying here on the couch next to me. I was hoping to go for a nice walk but it got chilly really quickly. Bah! Come on spring!! I need to walk!
Our dishwasher broke too! For some reason when it runs, it spits bubbles all over the floor! Lovely. Usually I enjoy washing dishes... but not when I HAVE to! Ha ha.
Tonight Colby and Art are going to the Readover Sleepover at the NEW school! I hope they have a fun time. Colby is really in need of some serious one-on-one time. I'm a little sad that I can't go. (They don't allow mommies to sleep with their boys)
Samantha is going bowling tonight with our church youth group, and so Will and I are going to bowl a little too...
Happy Friday

nevermind
Well, the video was there but it isn't showing up??? I'm really not too smart when it comes to this kind of thing!
Well, it was a video of Owen rolling over... he rolled across the floor this afternoon! Belly, back, belly, back... was very cute! He'll be mobil pretty soon I think!

Happy Monday!
It's Monday!! Hard to believe that it's the last Monday in February. Wow! Art's schedule is still weird... he's actually home today, working the evening shift. And all of the kids are home too because school doesn't start up again until Wednesday... so we are all hanging out together!!
On Wednesday the new CES opens! How exciting!
Here are some pictures that are from my own camera... they are a little old... :)
The top is Sam at her birthday party, opening presents! She actually volunteered to put the ribbon her head! Yes, we were surprised too. It was a really fun party.
And then a picture of Colby, taken on a night that we were all playing rummykub. It's always fun to have family game night. And even more fun when all the kids can play the game!!And a picture of Will and the treasured chess set! He is really loving this game lately, and he is getting so good at it. I don't know claim to play well... but Will has beaten me *many* times. He's a very good strategist and he always looks ahead. It's fun to watch him play and see how his brain works.
And a picture of Owen sucking on my finger. I love his eyes!
And another picture of Owen... in this one he is wearing his cool OOGA BOOGA diaper! Yes, Ibought this diaper especially because of the print. I just love those little ooga booga monsters!
UPDATE ON ZAREK:
On Saturday I went with my sister to visit Zarek in the PICU at Albany Med. Unfortunately, no one under 14 is allowed... which means Owen had to stay home with Daddy. I was really nervous about that, but they both did great!!
Zarek was so small... laying in his huge crib, all hooked up to wires. So sad!! But he looked great, his color was nice and he looked perfect asidefrom the big bandage on his side.
They did surgery and went in to drain the mass in his chest. When they were in there, they found something else... they don't know what it is... something that is attached to his chest wall. It is attached by blood vessels so they were unable to remove it.
They had to drain the mass before they could do another MRI... hopefully it is drained by now.
Keep praying for him!!
Bowling is going great! Only 4 more weeks. Wow. Colby won't be signing up again, but Will isplanning to do the next session.
Basketball is almost over. Colby has to miss bowling to go to basketball again. Just another reason for him not to do it again!!
We have started another home remodeling project-- our bedroom!! We have really not touched our bedroom since we moved in. But it's time. Art painted it yesterday-- a really nice dark gray color (what is his obsession with gray?). It looks 10,000 times better than it used to!!! Now we need to get new bedding and curtains, and frame some pictures to hang. Oh, and a new carpet! And we are moving the computer from our room to the back room... which requires another wireless set up. I can't wait to see it done!!
That's the update for now.

Hi again!!
Well, Samantha is officially 12 years old now. That makes me OLD.
For her birthday she got a very cool digital camera, and all of the pictures today were taken by her!!
This first one is a self portrait, isn't she so pretty?
And Owen in all his baby cuteness.
And then Colby and Nick, being very silly.
And then Grammy and Owen== awww!!!We have been very busy. Sam had a fun birthday party, we all went snow tubing and she brought a few friends. I had fun in the lodge with Owen, drinking hot cocoa and talking with an old friend.
And then they slept over, and surprisingly were asleep by 1.
At midnight we had pizza and ice cream!!
Basketball is winding down... not sure if I'm happy about that or not. At this point the boys don't want to play next year.
Art is still working a crazy schedule. This week it's days because the schools are off. So I have a house full and he is at work!!!The boys got a little behind on tae kwon do so we are trying to catch up...
I will try and catch up more again soon.
