Here is what we have been up to

Suprise for Laura and Eric

Laura and Eric's computer has been on the blitz.
It is old and while they were out visiting I bought
them a new tower. It was not expensive and it will
suffice for Laura and Eric's Christmas present. I
hooked it up but the rest will be up to them.
Gigi

For Helen

Here in the floor is where I keep all of my magazines. Also is pink material on the nightstand that I pinned together last night for a pink razorback bandana quilt for my boss' new baby. The purple thing hanging off the light is something Astrid sewed for me last year to keep my rings in when I take them off. It has a green "A" a green "heart" and a green "L" for "Astrid loves Laura". My bag from work is there by the bed in case I want to look at that stuff while I am home. My Bible is under the material, and there is a candle, lotion, and triple anitbiotic cream.

Happy Birthday Aunt Helen

Best Friend

I took the girls swimming one last time for the summer on Tuesday. As soon as we pulled up Siggie recognized the car of her friends mother and began to scream. CLAIRE IS HERE!!! They had so much fun together.

Company's coming

Last night we had company. Pop and Gigi came. Eric grilled steak. I cooked corn on the cob, fried squash, pork-n-beans, and pecan pie. I also made me and Gigi homemade salsa. I couldn't wait for the company....I had to test the pie. It was good.

This was on my pillow this morning.....

I am going to type this just as it reads

Dear Mom and Dad,
I would like to tell you something you make me fill like a maid because you make me do some of these things, get the phone, put a trash bag in the trash, put up the dishes, pluge in the internet in, and fold laundry.

Love you smart dauter,
Astrid

As Erin said to me when I read it to her "if she's the maid what does that make you?"

Oh My Stars

Yall have heard about Ingrid's wonderful performance from Gigi....Well now it is Astrid. She won 1st place in the art contest at school. Her picture was titiled Herd of Horses. Ingrid performs and Astrid draws. I threw in a picture of Siggie just for heck. She has dressed her self and her skirt is on backwards and her shoes are on the wrong feet I am sure....they always are when she does it herself.

Haircuts....One Special one to Honor Aunt Helen

Sigrid and Astrid got their usual trims today but Ingrid did something special. Ingrid cut off 10 inches of hair to donate to locks of love for making wigs for terminally ill children. This was done in honor of my Aunt Helen. Ingrid looks absolutely adorable and is proud of her new do.

Happy 8th Birthday ASTRID!!!!

Astrid is 8 on April the 7th. I can hardly believe it. She invited her class to a hot dog and marshmallow roast on Saturday night. They played in the tree swing Pop built for her last summer, they played What time is it Mrs. Fox? and they skipped rocks at the lake. All had a good evening. Astrid has the look of uninhibited joy in the second pictures as one of her friends got her a black fresian webkins. That is one of her favorite horses and webkins is the new fad toy. Ingrid cooked her cupcakes that were decorated like frogs and I guess I forgot to snap a picture of them. There are a few left and maybe I will get a picture of one. The phone rang when we had just started to make the cupcakes and I got caught up in conversation with a girlfriend and when I was finished Ingrid had made the cupcakes all I had to do was cook them. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASTRID.....YOU ARE ONE OF LIFES GREATEST JOYS!!!!!!!
