Prom 2005

Prom has come and gone. Here are some pictures! I think she had fun!

Another Gorgeous Spring Day

The play IS the thing. DD was wonderful! Hard to believe that's my baby girl up there transporting the audience into the story. I think she has the bug. So many people came up to me and said she had found her calling and what a natural she was. I hope now she will believe dear huby and I when we tell her. She would always say that we had to say those things because we are her parents...Come on Girl, you are good! DS#1 saw it for the first time on closing night and at the end gave her the biggest hug. He wouldn't let go. I guess he couldn't believe it either. Whew! What a night! There was cast party after the play was over at one of the girls' homes with a bonfire and tons of food. I know she was glad it was all over! For more play pictures, click on My Photos under Favorite Sites on the left side.

Now it's off to church. Tim and I are filling in for the 4 year olds' Sunday School class. Have a blessed day!

The Play's the Thing

An update....all the puppies have been sold except the one we are keeping. Her name is Baby Bella and she looks just like her mama. It is remarkable how well she has taken to house training. She is rambunctious and wild as young pups should be. The Yorkie and the pup are at extreme odds these days. Precious does not find the humor in a clumsy ball of energy trying to tackle her. Baby Bella outweighs Precious by more than half so you see the reason for fear on the Yorkie's part.

Tim's mom is here for a few weeks and she got to attend a play last night that DD is in. She plays Anita in West Side Story. I didn't get to go last night but I intend on going tonight with Deb and Dave. From all the reviews, DD does a fabulous job. They have no microphones so her training in projection really helps her be heard. She also has some dance scenes and dancing was never her thing but they say she did very well. I am so excited for her.

DS #1 is still in the Outer Banks with the Academically Gifted English class. They will be back tonight. They left Weds. morning and traveled all the way east and then south spending the night along the way. He has called me three times so far. One time was for permission to take and Advil due to a headache. Poor guy. He is such a homebody and does not do well if he stays up late at night. I bet this is what happened. Anyway....

DS#2 was quite impressed with his sister's performance. I think he saw a new side to her. He really wants to stay home from school today, but I won't let him. He missed school Monday picking up his Grandmama.

After the play last night we celebrated Mrs. W's birthday with cake and presents. I think she was surprised! What fun. Sadly though, DS#3 missed the festivities as he fell asleep long before they all got home. I had to stay home with him as both babysitters were in the play, DD and Hannah. As with most things we do, we must attend in shifts. Ha ha.

Well, better run do laundry. We are drowning in it. I can barely get into the laundry room. Ciao for now.

Puppies for Sale

Lab Puppies for Sale......Aren't they adorable?

Fancy Hair

DD got her hair done in an updo in a trial run in preparation for prom in April. I thought it looked pretty cute. Her dress is very sparkly, peach strapless and looks so pretty. I will, of course, post pics after prom.

Puppies are Growing Up

The puppies are growing as you can see!! The first picture was about a week and a half ago and now they are already weaned. Time for them to find new homes. Anyone need a labrador retriever? All is well and good here. God Bless you all.

Sad News

We got up this morning and one of the black male puppies had died. He was just off to the side and looked like he was sleeping but didn't make movement towards nursing.  We can't figure out why. He was so big and healthy looking. All the experts say it is not unusual and expected to lose one, maybe two puppies in a litter, but it is still very hard. We are all sad this morning. :( I hope that no more die. I'll keep you posted.
