First Day of School 2009

Alex with his friend Max. They've been in class with each other every year since KindergartenAlex's first day of 3rd grade

Ethan has decided "Hey, NOT FAIR" about Leah & Alex getting to go to school, so we decided that we would call the babysitting at the YMCA HIS CLASS. so on Leah's first day of Preschool he said "take My picture Momma" and how can you argue with this little face! Leah posing on the front porch a

it's a first day of every school year tradition

So now 3 morning a week it's just Ethan & I, and sometimes Daddy.... but we are amazed at how much he talks on those mornings! He's finally got our attention all to himself and there's no one talking over him or interupting him.

AND I think he likes it!

Dinner with the Pope

I'm sure those of you familiar with the resturaunt Bucca de Peppo are familiar with the Pope room, well you can all prepare to be jealous because I got to eat dinner in there last weekend! I have to say this little statue is quite creepy! And I know as a former Catholic that its "bad" to say such a thing about something representing such a holy man in the church... but seriously he had beedy little eyes and was sitting on a lazy susan so he spun around like something from the excorcist!

But we did have a Momentous occasion to celbrate, my good Friend Ben graduated from OSU... and not just graduated... he recieved his .............................. so I can now call him Doctor Gibbs!

Here's Ben, His oldest brother Chad, and his Mom Marcia

Ofcourse this was all just an excuse for Ben & Danielle to fly across country so Danielle could see her favorite two ladies! This is the only time we have all been able to carry on an un-interupted conversation.

None of us had our kids that night!
