Last Saturday, thanks to a nasty wind and rain storm, we were without power for about 16 hours. This is how I spent my Saturday afternoon....
1. crochet a scarf.
2. read a jodi picoult book (the last 75 pages)
3. realize it's getting dark and light a bunch of candles.
4. snuggle under the blanket on the couch with belle.
5. share some exciting news with bobio....
Yep, you might have had to watch the video twice, or turn up the volume a bit, but it's true!! More details to follow soon.... ;)
p.s. Dear Janice Stickles,
I PROMISE I did not mislead you several weeks ago in regards to your "glowing" comment... seriously!!
CONGRATULATIONS! What awesome news!

Yessssssssss, now so far no-one has mentioned that "T...." word but I have to.So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I, with everyone else so look forward to the next 9 months of blog news about this pregnacy I'm sure we will all be holding our sides by the end from all the pregnancy. Gongratulations to all of you. Yep this includes you Griffin as I'm sure you will make the best big brother yet (all of us born on 7/21 make the best eldest siblings and of course I include Bella in the cograts as she will be the best guard dog ever, when she's not playing with baby's toys.
CORNGRATULATIONS
