What Happened?

He was robbed I tell you! It was probably because he had to sing that terrible song Kara co-wrote, yuck. He rocked "Beth" last night totally. Not even Kiss' heavy metal instruments could drown out his voice!

Nicole 20 Weeks

20 weeks! She is such a good sport about letting me do this every 4 weeks.

Drumroll Please......

Yes it's a girl!!! Yeah! We are very happy to be able to buy cute little dresses and pink stuff. She is only about 12 oz. right now! But I think she is already cute don't you? Haha, actually those 3D pictures are pretty scary, looks like a little alien gremlin. :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's today. This is my gift from Brooke, she made it herself and did a really good job. She does not get any craftiness from me, that's for sure. Gary is buying me a magnolia tree that I have wanted for forever, he also bought me 2 Yankee candles so I would have something to open. I didn't get to see Nicole today because I am in Maine, but she came by the other day and brought me an angel windchime and a cookbook that I wanted.

This morning Gary and Brooke made me breakfast, sausage and pancakes, and Brooke washed the dishes. It is WICKED windy here today, so one minute I am hot when the wind dies down, then it whips back up and I am cold. But at least the sun is out. Gary and I just went for a walk down the beach, my hair was blowing in my face so bad I must have looked like Cousin It. Brooke is going to a Dane Cook concert tonight in Manchester with her boyfriend so they just left, luckies! Dane Cook is sooo funny. Gary and I are hanging out here tonight, we are grilling some marinated pork and I am baking a couple of potatoes and will probably throw a steamer bag of veggies in the microwave too. We are staying over tonight here and leaving bright and early tomorrow to get Brooke to school.

Family Tree

An unforgettable novel about family, race and the choices people make in time of crisis.

Dana Clarke has just given birth to her first child. The little girl is lovely , but no one can help noticing how little she resembles her parents. Dana's husband, among others, suspects that she may have had an affair. In order to put the rumors and speculation to rest, Dana has to delve deep into her past and her husband's heritage to unearth some uncomfortable secrets. Can her marriage survive what she discovers?

This was a great book, a fast read and I couldn't put it down. And yes, I know what Nicole is having but it has to wait until I can get my hands on the ultrasound pictures so I can post those along with the announcement of whether we are buying blue or pink. :)

Yes Man

Based on the comedic memoir by Danny Wallace, this film stars Jim Carrey as Carl, a man who, as an antidote to unhappiness, resolves to say "yes" to everything that comes his way. Initially, Carl's new practice proves successful in lifting his spirits, but soon he is confronted with unexpected and seemingly unbeatable challenges stemming from his unique self-imposed regime.

I liked this movie okay, I have definitely seen funnier Jim Carrey movies but this was good.

Happy 6th Birthday Louie!!!

Today is Louie's 6th birthday. For months now I thought he was turning 7, and it just dawned on me the other day that I was wrong, he is only 6. I wish I could do that with my own age, oops, I am actually a year (or 10) younger!

Anyway, Louie likes his new birthday toy and treats. And I sang Happy Birthday to him too!! He howled, I don't know if it was because my singing was hurting his ears, or if he just wanted to sing along.

We are in Maine this weekend, our first weekend back at the camp. We have done a lot of work getting it opened up and ready to go for the season, but not nearly enough work to burn off the calories I have been eating. oops. This morning we went to a friend's 25th anniversary, renewing of the wedding vows in Newfields. They had a brunch afterwards, we pretty much ate and left. Or as Gary so elegantly put it, "chewed and screwed". we didn't really know anyone there and we had made our appearance so what else were we to do?

Nicole has an ultrasound Thursday, and hopefully we will find out if we are buying blue or pink?
