This game is from Jenny P's blog. I don't have a flikr account and didn't feel like making one, so I made a less than cool mosaic of my pictures in powerpoint. Yeah, whatever. Anyway, my answers were: Kelly, tomatos, Colorado High School, blue, Harrison Ford (the Han Solo and early Indiana Jones Harrison Ford), orange juice (which this photo was doubly good because I also LOVE coffee and the orange is sitting in a coffee cup!), Barcelona, tirimisu, artist, family, firey, kellyskorner (I don't have a flickr name so I used my etsy name. I love this pic I found!)

We're Home!

We loved our time in the US (although my waistline did NOT benefit from it) but we were happy to come home. Ethan started asking "Are we going to my home with my purple lightsaber?" Leave it to Ethan to care more about his lightsaber than sleeping in his own bed! We miss everyone a bunch!

It's back to the grind at work. Deadlines... projects... classes... meetings... the usual. So craftiness is going to have to be on the back burner for a few weeks.

Here's a picture I took right before we left the US. I saw these shirts in the airport in Florida and just had to have them. The kids love wearing them! I had to peel Ethan out of his and sneak it into the laundry last night! They are my sweet little "Things!"

Our Last Days on the Island

Ethan, Aunt Shawna, Uncle Brian and Haven playing in the swimming pool.

Haven, Ethan, and PawPaw on this beautiful two tiered carousel at the mall.
A quick visit to Pep Boys to fix Nana's tire meant playtime for Ethan on all the big boy toys!A seagull posed for me just as we were leaving the island for the last time. How fitting!

My Birthday Present from my Husband

SHE IS MY SONG

She is my song. Enchanting ayre
which steals my heart with ev'ry care.
No one can see nor understand;
Like Warhol painted in the sand,
this muse has found me unaware.

As soothing chords resolve despair,
placid notes flow. From a veiled stand
comes endless hues- a concert grand.
She is my song.

The rhythm dances. Like a prayer
the shadows fade when she is there.
The symphony rests in her hand;
safe from the Last of life's demand-
safe, for the lyrics we will share.
She is my song.

Inked Up

I love the design Melonie gave me so much (the one I've been using on my mugs) that I decided to have it rendered in henna on my right shoulder. It turned out so awesome! Now I think I might need to make it permanent... I have to show it to Rob and see what he thinks first. If he says go for it, I think it will be Melonie's first tattoo if and when we get this tattoo contract up and running!

I couldn't do it alone! Haven got a frog on her arm.

Good Times

We went to a church this morning here on the island and it just happened to be a day when five people were getting baptised in the Gulf of Mexico! It was a really cool experience!

Then Ethan got his first ride on PawPaw's motorcycle!

The Coolest Wedding Ever!

Me and my new sister-in-law, Shawna.

The wedding party. Eric, the "man of honor"; my dad, the best man; Brian, the groom; Shawna, the bride; and the Judge, who's name I forgot.

Haven and some cousins. They're having so much fun! :)
Ethan... with new ... er ... boy haircut?
The couple... awww...
The new family (my mom on the left)
Weddings on the beach are way fun!
