a couple more puppy pics

Little Ivy

Here she is!

Happy Birthday to Koko:)

Happy 52nd. Birthday to Koko, shown here at Elle's 13th. birthday 'taco' party. Busy weekend here. My autistic client is here for respite this weekend, and Eva's play is in full swing with performances this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow. Paul is busy playing for solo and ensemble at the Lutheran High School, and Elle is doing hair and make-up for Eva's show. "Dustin" and I are looking forward to a day of babysitting JoJo's puppy. Jo and the family are headed to Rockford for Tim's brother's birthday. The puppy is too little to stay alone, and will stay overnight. Maybe Jo has a photo of Ivy...she is adorable...an American Eskimo. Will post one if I can get one. Hope all is well with the cyber folks:)

still sick

I'm still sick after 17 days...I'm doing all the basics...going to work and church, but this flu is a killer. I have been coughing for 14 of the 17 days, but it's letting up enough to go on with the normal routine. It was nice to see Trina on Saturday. Her husband Phil died after complications of a heart attack he had in December. They had been married 24 years. He was in his 50's. I feel on the mend now, but just need some time to get to 100 percent.

Eva's play...

Happy Birthday to Andy!

A very Happy Birthday to nephew Andy (Krissy and Gretchie's little bro) on his 21st. I remember he tried to give Eva a hug good-bye when she was 1 and he was 2. She toppled over...he was a big kid...a big kid with an enormous heart. We love you Andy. Have a great day! xxooxxoo

Happy March 1st!

Welcome back to all the extended family who made the annual trip to St. John this year. What a nice break from this long winter. I think I see Krissy and Jeannine on the beach:) Lots going on here. I'm headed up to Manty to attend a friend's husband's funeral, and picking up Grandma on the way. Afterward, Jo and Tim have an art show at the high school...should be fun. After mass on Sunday, I'm heading back up to Jo Jo's to visit. Tyler and Maddie are stopping by (for a haircut and help on a resume) and Elle and I made some treats to bring along. Last night Elle went to Oshkosh to see the Wizard performed by the highschool kids. She enjoyed it and I guess got some ideas for the middle school production. One of the teachers is loaning his little terrier for the part of Toto.
