Stop calling, I know I haven't posted in a while...

Heres the highlights for March- Dog turned 13, Easter to Columbus, Pataskala, and Stow to see lots o' family, Max's birthday celebrated from Easter till the 31st- Saw AJ & Daniel, had cupcakes from cousin KT, saw uncles, aunts, and grandparents, went to indoor amusement park for a day, went to art museum with Grandpa Joe, got everything he needs for a summer of fun as birthday gifts, and Audrey is waiting for economic sanctions to lifted against Cuba so she open a resort/casino in Havana. The photos-

Thank you for patiently waiting...

LUXE is close to opening and things are getting pretty busy for me; you'll have to forgive me the lag in posting. Here are a couple of Max in the Great Snow Storm of '08 and a great circus photo of Audrey. Looking forward to seeing many of you over Easter. Oh yeah, congrats to Micheal, Bethany, and KT- it's been worth the wait!

Recent Paparazzi Shots...

Photos from the archives...

Sheila & I were working on a personal project this week and came across a lot of photos we love, but never get to share. Many are from pre-beast days; boy, we were young and good looking, and awake. Enjoy.

daddy's little girl...

I'm in serious trouble. 

She already knows I have "SUCKER" written all over me. 

Sure Audrey, you can have a pony. Of course Audrey, you do need a car for your birthday. Now Audrey, you know we'll pay for your wedding in Paris. 

I'm in serious trouble.

Like father, like son...

Gruel...

Audrey had her first experience with food today. The pictures pretty much sum up her feelings about rice cereal.

My sister Karry sent me a very funny email this evening with amazing portraits that people actually paid money for during the 1970's. I shouldn't laugh too hard, for I'm sure such atrocities exist in my Mother's family albums (I seem to remember a particular sky blue suit that made me look quite fetching). But, since they're not scanned and posted on a website, I thought I would share one of Sheila and her siblings.

Remembering Summer...

The snow is whispering down outside the kitchen window and i'm anxious for summer already.

Wrapping up the holidays...

The lights have come down, the leftovers have been finished, and we are finally recapturing the living room from the beasts' Christmas booty. 2007 was filled with blessings and heartbreak, we hope 2008 brings peace for all of us. Accomplishments have already been great this year-Max has been sled riding and can pee in a toilet standing up, while Audrey can "raspberry" like a 3 Stooges and solved Euclid's 5th postulate. A few photos from the holidays with cousin Ayden, Santa, and Grandma...

Welcome...

My good friends Ray & Fran started a blog last year following their pregnancy and culminating in the birth of their darling daughter Faye. I've enjoyed checking in over the months to track the stork. So, like millions of others I thought that our family (Grandmothers & Grandfathers) and friends would like to be updated more often with pictures instead of just phone calls. I'll try to update every week with new pictures of our beasts.
