Here's some Total Momsense

I cracked up at this...she is GREAT! Do any of those phrases sound familiar?

HOT!!!

Not much new here...except it is HOT and HUMID! Thank goodness we have 2 a/c units downstairs! I spent yesterday sorting and rearranging stuff in Hilary's room and a closet - I knew it would be TOO hot up there to do it today. Today I was back at the dentist for work on 2 more baby teeth. Thankfully these were both on top, so it wasn't as long or painful as last week. I have one wisdom tooth they want me to have out - guess I'll have to call about that. I need to begin work organizing, throwing out and rearranging the laundry room, but I haven't been too motivated yet...John made it to PA last night - or I should say 1:30AM today. I haven't talked to him, just got a text message at 1:30AM. There must have been some delay getting his luggage and rental car in Philly because we figured he'd be there by 12:30AM. I'm hoping he'll call later, but more importantly I'm praying that God uses this time to make clear his path...our path for the future. He'll be back Thursday PM. Update: John just called - there was construction outside the Philly airport that held him up for 45 minutes last night. He is living on caffeine right now. The meetings are over for the night so he thought he'd go for a walk and/or swim and then get something to eat. It'll probably be an early night for him to make up for the lack of sleep last night.

Katie is with International Toast in ME at the recording studio for the next three days - leaving around 8 AM and hoping to be back by 8 PM. I was looking at a picture from her graduation party and realized how much she looks like my Dad. He always wore a hat; had a whole shelf of them by the back door, he also had dimples and an infectious smile. In this photo Katie looks like her Grandpa with the hat, dimples and smile.

Finally Finished...

Hilary called and she's had a good week with campers. Another week starts on Monday. Katie is singing with International Toast tonight at the Relay for Life at the Nick - it will be a late night for her. Her friend from Africa, Chantal, is in the States, so she is there with her.

I finally finished the pages for "Alive Forever" from Easter with One Voice and here they are. To see it larger click on the slideshow and then click on original view at the next website. EnJOY!

Not exactly as planned...

Well, Katie's birthday did not exactly go as planned yesterday. She did spend some time with International Toast and a little time with Chelsi, but that was far from the plans of two days camping at Old Orchard Beach since Chelsi had to work yesterday and found out she had to work until noon today...SO...I had bought a cake for Katie and thought she'd eat it with us...she was so irritated when she came home last night she cut into the cake and got out the American Idol Triple Talent Ice Cream and had at it...I never got a picture of her 18th birthday cake. Today she and Chelsi had made plans A-Z, I think. When they finally got to leave they headed for Old Orchard Beach...

And this is what they did....

HAHAHAHA!! This and sending me a phone pix of a tatoo...after many quick text messages to confirm that it was rub-on...no...but not real...henna....whew! What a kid!

Happy 18th Birthday Katie!!!

It's hard to believe that my baby is 18 today!

WHEW!!!

Well...school is done and Lindsey is back in NC. As of 3 PM yesterday I have summer vacation. Kate's last voice/piano recital was last night in Meredith. When I got back from the dentist today (SOOO much fun), John and I took Lindsey to Portland to fly back to NC. Tomorrow is Katie's 18th birthday! I made this gift purse for her. The photo is her and International Toast and it says, "I like my Toast with JAM!". I plan to finish another photo project for her tomorrow...

Katie's Graduation

It's been a busy weekend. Lindsey arrived from NC, family arrived from RI and CT and of course Katie graduated from High School. I am tired and so glad that I have 1-1/2 days left of school and one of those is Field Day. I'm ready for a bit of a break. Enjoy the slideshow of Katie's graduation. (Mom and Melodie...look closely at the 2007 photo decoration...Dad is in the photo bottom left holding Katie in the hospital when she was born...click on the photo and it will take you to slide, then click on the photo again and it will enlarge it)
