I always swore I'd never be a parent who encouraged video games so their child was "busy". Hahaha!!! However...I'd like to add that most of the games have educational value. Lol.

My sweet Mollie Moo Kitty. Don't ask me why I call her that...it has just stuck through the years. Today Moo went back to MedVet. Her platelet levels were just high enough for them to administer her CCNU Chemo treatment. She's such a trooper!!! Couldnt ask for a sweeter girl!!!

Project 365 2011 Day #18

I'm cheating a little bit...I took this a couple of days ago; in my defense I did take pictures today but I dont have the release signed yet. Anyway...this one cracked me up :-) Her awesome and adorable outfit is from  Mayas Curls Hair Bows and Accessories and Be so Beautiful Children's Gifts. You cant see them too well in this photo but Erin and Juliet make magic; if you are looking for an extra special outfit and hair accessory you won't be disapointed!!

Project 365 2011 Day #9

My little Sam Bam's first "real" haircut...sniff...sniff....tissues please!!! I about had a heart attack when we got to the salon; I had no cameras with me!!!! Seriously!? Panic...but luckily Aunt Mary had one that I borrowed!! All was well once little man had his sucker :-) He looks so big now!!! MMS (Melancholy Mommy Syndrome) is in full force with the Big #1 looming ahead!!

Project 365 2011 Day #8

Today the kiddos started Swim Lessons at our local YMCA. Although they are private lessons Mom and Dad have to get in too...Mom was not too thrilled about this! Lol! BUT it was fun :-) Max tested the teacher a bit...poor girl...you could see the fear in her eyes...I felt like Max was a shark honing in on his prey! I made sure to talk to her and let her know that she had to stand her ground or it was "all over". Fingers crossed! Abbie was as usual scared to death...the "big bathtub" is just too overwheming to her for now. Sam Bam as you can see was his little relaxed self...not a care in the world! Thanks to my MIL Pam for the photo help!! Ed about died when I reached for the camera while still in the pool!!! LOL!!

Project 365 2011 Day #7

Wow....not even a week into it and I didnt get this up on THE day...LOL!! Bound to happen! We celebrated my Papa John's 80th Birthday this evening with a family gathering at our local Boston's restaurant. I think he had a great time; these were a few of my favorite pictures of the night. Is my Papa not the CUTEST thing!!?? The cake was a hit...it is a dairy free, gluten free cake that my cousin gets from a Gal in Worthington; surprisingly SO good!! Sam enjoyed it as you can see! Happy Birthday Papa!

Project 365 2011 Day #6

Wow! Didnt think those pictures would come out so small!! Lol..I think you can enlarge it... Sam totally cracks everyone up who watches the little tank eat...he can PACK it down! Yet he's a pretty little guy! I came to the conclusion I really, really need a macro lens!!! Add that to the neverending photography wishlist!!!

Project 365 2011 Day #5

What to do on a cold Ohio winter day you ask??! Why, play baseball of course! Max's "team" won in case you were wondering...lol.

Project 365 2011 Day #4

Today was a "warmer" day so I decided to get some of the nasty salt build up off the car. Abigail is terrified of the car wash...screams the entire time!!! You can see the big crocodile tears waiting to flow!

Project 365 2011 Day #3

My kiddos LOVE to look at thier reflections in the bathtub...all of them. Tonight I caught Abigail looking at "Her Baby Abigail" as she calls herself :-) LOL!!
