He's 15!!!!

"I can't believe I'm going to be 15!"That's all we've heard for the last several weeks! I hope it lives up to his expectations!!

Happy Birthday Danny!!! His cake choice is Coffee Cake. We'll probably have that Sunday afternoon as he has basketball tonight. I'm also hoping all the boys will be here to finish my Christmas card picture. His birthday meal is "build your own pizza". I bought the small ready made pizza crusts and mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, pineapple and ham. (click on the picture and you can see the guy has braces)

Ceramics

Guess which pieces of pottery are Gretchen's and which are Danny's.
Did you guess correct?!

The Fact Man

This is what Danny is doing if he's not playing wii, listening to his boombox (music or books) or on the computer. He's "writing facts". He has pages of "facts" around the house. He doesn't realize it but he's getting great practice on his writing (and reading).

My Nine Daughters

Sara's Shower Weekend

We spent four days traveling for one day in Minnesota for Sara's 7th baby shower. Me, Kaitlin, Molly and Jeanie left here Thursday after school and headed to Marquette to Heidi's. We spent the night there and left at 8:30 in the morning and got to Sara's at 5:15. We met Emily, Kirsten, Amanda, Kendall and Gretchen in Superior Wisconsin and traveled together the rest of the way. The shower was Friday night. We hung around at Sara's and Jennifer's on Saturday and then left back to Marquette on Sunday morning arriving back here Monday at about 5:00 pm. A lot of traveling but so much fun!

Happy 12th Birthday Jeanie

Today my baby turns 12. I'm not sure how THAT happened. We will celebrate her birthday Saturday with her nephew Paul. Happy Birthday Jeanie! I hope you have a wonderful day!
