Million Dollar Smile

Tony got his braces off! I may be biased, but I think he has a million dollar smile! Muah...

Shocker!

Tony registered for a Medical Sciences Program (in addition to his regular Junior year schedule for next year). Of course, we encouraged him to sign up for classes he thought he would be interested in. Imagine my surprise when I opened the letter with his pre-acceptance into this program!

He has to ask one of his math or science teachers and his counselor to complete recommendation letters. Tony has to complete a self-assessment and an essay. We have to attend a pre-acceptance session is two weeks. This process moves fast.

If he gets into this program, it will open the door to lots of scholarship offers! I'm down with that!

Who Dunnit?

Can't turn my back on this pooch monster for a second! I had taken a roll of paper towels upstairs, put them in the cleaning basket with all the other supplies.

I went back downstairs to find my coffee cup, got distracted, and came back to find this mess.

I don't know which one, or which combo of pups, did this! KC looks alittle guilt.

Liebe wasn't phased at all!

I'm On Strike!...Revisited

Last summer, I came home to find the sink looking like this: (previous post)

We are updating our house to put it on the market. The room that needs the most updating is the kitchen. Danny installed a new stainless steel kitchen sink. We told the kids to put their dishes in the dishwasher...from...now...on!

Ok, granted, this is better, much better, but really? Come on...
I know who you are and where you crash at night!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

My parents married on this day.
Today would have been their 54th wedding anniversary.

I love you, Dad! I miss you, Mom!

My First Mistake

...was putting out a note pad and asking the kids to write down what they want from the store. Here are the top dozen items:

Ketchup
Peanut Butter
Tortillas
Pizza Rolls
Oreos
Grapes
String Cheese
Peach Yoplait Yogurt
Munchies - HOT
Kettle Korn
AA Batteries
Ice Cream

My second mistake...I haven't gone to the store yet!

Fast Friends

It didn't take long for Liebe to nuzzle her way into KC's space. They are together all the time now. Liebe is KC's mini-me: playful, fiesty, mischievous, and huggy. One is big while the other is small.

As Time Goes By

I still see the Tonster as if he were the baby in the photo...
