Jack, Heather, Keelyn, Ryley, Delaney and Addy. We are a family of 6. 4 girls, Jack and I. We live in a beautiful house built in 1850 in Milford, NH. Most days I feel very blessed with 4 healthy children.. There are a few days where I pray to God to let us get through the day...

WOWIE- ADDY! Chaos and school's OUT!

Addy is changing by the day! Over the last 3 weeks, she has gotten 3 teeth (two bottom one on the top), she started crawling and is now ALL OVER the place, and she pulls herself up in her crib! Amazing to see how it is all coming together for her and how those BIG grinning smiles show how proud of herself she is.







Keelyn finished school last Friday - THANK GOD (for her). We planned on having lunch all together since Jack was on vacation all last week, but she ended up eating lunch at school, so we all went glow bowling! Boy, I love that place! Very low key, kids have a blast, and it is over in an hour! Saturday we had Ryley's kindergarten cookout up in Wolfboro. Kids had a blast! The weather was super cooperative, it was just the ride that was LONG. It was the end of bike week and boy... ugh! 1/2 hour for us to get through one set of lights - that was after the 1 1/2 hours it took us to get to that light. BUT, all that mattered was the kids had fun, and FUN they had. They were pretty much in the water all day. Sunday was a clean up day - we rented movies - had plans with our neighbor, but the thunder and lightening canceled those plans. Michelle was kind enough to drop off bags of cotton candy they planned to give out at their cookout - 2 of which I devoured... BOY, it was YUMMY!

Keelyn and Ryley started Camp Invention today. They both seemed to enjoy it. I asked them if they were going back tomorrow and they both said "yes!". Jack left for Wisconsin this morning. So, we'll see how the rest of the week goes, today was nice and quiet, but this afternoon was a CHAOTIC mess! Crying, fighting, mis-behaving. UGH, just as I was starting dinner. :-( I hate afternoons like that.. we all do. Maybe I should cook dinner earlier in the afternoon and just re-heat it? Who knows, but SOMETHING has to change. Maybe I could hire a personal chef?? :-P NOW we're talking!

I heard on the news today we got 3 INCHES of rain! We had awful thunder and lightening JUST as I went to pick up Keelyn & Ryley. NO fun running to the car with 4 children in tow.

Delaney is COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED! She still likes to wear pull-ups, I guess for the security, but that's fine with me. She is doing fantastic! I am so proud of her! Today she asked if I would buy her M&M's for going on the potty.. NOW, I think she's milking it :-)

I keep hearing on news.. and I can't believe they are talking about the Neil Entwistle case.. and how the defense is saying the mother committed suicide.. I guess they think her dead body returned the gun to her father??? SON OF A BITCH.. I hope he BURNS.. EVIL MAN.

We have plans for my friend Charlie to come visit this weekend. It's been a while, so we're happy to see them and HIS PREGNANT WIFE! BOY that womans a SAINT! You're a lucky man CHUCK!

Last week we went to visit my cousin Patricia, and her husband Adrian. Adrian has lung cancer among other ailments. He goes in for surgery to HOPEFULLY remove the cancer on July 10th. We will be praying for them. I truly believe God knows what a wonderful person Adrian is and he will get them through this. I will continue to pray for that daily.

Well, I still have not been able to get good photo's of Ryley's graduation :-(. I have a few but they are not very clear. I'm waiting on one more person who said she has some. (COME ON ELISE.. YOU CAN DO IT :-) I also have a real cute video clip of Addy from last week, I'll post tomorrow. I don't have that capability to do that from the upstairs computer (where I am now).

Oh, I just HAD to post this picture of Ryley and her NEW BACK TO SCHOOL BOOTS .. They are TOTALLY her, and she LOVE LOVE LOVES them! GIRAFFE BOOTS! WAHOOO!!!





I better get to bed... over & out.. PEACE!
