More NY trip



Family friends over for an afternoon of eating and company. We had a great time. WE miss you all.

Uncle Jason and Jane getting the practice in with the kids, at least in the feeding department! Thanks, you did a great job. We still mess up Elie's face with food. Quite often too!



Our night out in NY....

We were able to catch dinner and a broadway show, 39 Steps(we would recommend it to anyone in NY and wanting to see a show, very funny!), with Jon's brother Jason and fiance Jane. Thank you for a great night, we had so much fun. I was weird to be out with out the kids, but are thankful to Jon's family for watching the kids. We love and miss you all.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

We are back in business and have the computer stuff situated. Well most of it for that matter, but the important things for you all, pictures, videos, and the software for compressing pics to get them up on the blog are back to normal. Ok, let's hear it...Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! I know I feel the same way.
I don't normally do this...put pictures up out of order, but tomorrow is Easter and we have some early Easter pics for you all. So here they are, out of order...more pics from the last two months to come. Soon!
Tomorrow is a special day...we hope everyone enjoys the day that our Lord has risen.
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!...
"Peace be with you."
"Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
"This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised"...(from the book of Luke)
We love and miss you all.

Um, Who? "911 Dispatch" she says!!!!....

So, a couple of days ago our son is quietly playing with my cell phone and I don't think anything of it b/c I have my phone to lock out after 2 minutes. I didn't stop to think that I changed it to 5 minutes b/c I was tired of unlocking it if I stopped to do something during those 2 minutes and then had to unlock it again...well you get the point!

Well my phone rings and Abey pushes a button so the call is cut off...I look at the number and it's a local number. I don't usually call back or give a second thought about missed unfamiliar calls, but it was a local number and not many local people call me on my cell.

So, I call the number back and I hear the tail end of ___ dispatch.
I said "who?"
She says, "911 Dispatch"...
Me: Oh my gosh are you kidding?
Her: No mam'...
Me: I am so sorry, my son was playing with my phone...
Her: I am just glad you called back and everything is ok.
Me: Sorry about that, we are ok
(sorry, sorry, sorry, is all I could think and say at the time!!!!)

I am just glad the cops didn't show up at our door. Not that they would have been able to get here right away....last time they were going somewhere up the hill, I saw them walking and they asked how far up it was to a neighbors house. They basically just called it as answering the call, walked back down the hill and went on their way. I have been asked to get a video up of our driveway. I will add it to the list!

Pics to come, just thought I would share our excitement. One day he will laugh about it and then have his children do something like this to him. (by the way, I set of the silent alarm at the bank my mom worked at when I was about his age! How exciting was that!)
