Remember 9/11

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost love ones on 9/11. We remember.

On September 11, 2001, four U.S. planes that were hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people. Please take a moment to remember these people who passed away. Remember these individuals--left behind family, friends and co-workers. May God be with you all.

Kevin's passion--soccer season begins

Kevin doing what he does best...playing soccer

We really had alot of fun at this tourney. We traveled to Columbus, Maryland and stayed at the Sheraton. Very nice hotel--would recommend to anyone. The boys played real hard. Their first game was a tie 0-0, second game also a tie 1-1 and their third game they won 1-0. I believe with how they do points and things like that our boys came in 2nd place in their bracket. Over all the team played well--great group of boys! They seem all get along and gel nicely. Coach said that I now have the title of "team photographer"--which of course I am loving!

On a happy note: school has started--YEAH ME! But to be honest I like my kids--so yeah I did miss them. I cannot wait for them to get home and fill me in on how their first day went. Well for all those parents out there in blog land--enjoy the first day of peace and quiet until all those little and big kids come home. There will be loads of papers to fill out, sign and return. The joys of going back to school--pencils, the smell of glue, fresh notebooks and crayons--brings back memories for me. I would love to go back to school shopping for folders, notebooks and all the other goodies that the stores try to sell you (still love going and buying that stuff) Well enjoy you children while they are still in school--going to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate before I have to go and pick up the girls. Kevin should be walking thru the door any minute from the bus stop. ;D

the new printer

WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUU!! Boy I am really excited!! We just got our new printer...our old printer was a dinosaur...have the things did not work anymore on it when we upgraded to a new computer that runs Vista. Okay HP--I am going to promote your newest printer for you...and free at that. This is the HP Photosmart 6380--LOVE IT. It prints out the most beautiful pictures...what a great tool to have. As many of you know I love photography and playing around with my camera...this is just a great printer...it has all separate ink carts. so if you run out of just yellow...then yellow is all you buy...no more tri-color costly ink carts. for me. Oh did I tell you all that I LOVE IT! Oh and it scans and prints out color or b/w photocopies too. WEE WEE I love our new printer. (just a footnote: don't look at me in the picture--pink is not the best color that I look good in.)

Donna's thoughts

Well I don't know about you...but we were blessed to get an early Christmas gift for our family--a new computer. I have not decided if I like "Windows Vista" yet. There are pretty cool things that you can do but could not do in "Windows XP". I am really excited about all the cool stuff that you can do with pictures...however Vista is really slow to boot up and actually work sometimes!! Somedays I really want to start ripping out my hair!! (which I have alot of). You know I have a passion for the camera, and I have started now to really play around with pics. I will post them once in awhile and would love to have your comments on them. This is a purple cornflower from my sister's backyard...boy with all this cold weather I really am starting to miss summer time. I thought I would post this picture to help us all think of summer when we nice and warm and did not have to turn our heat on. Of course our son is still wearing shorts like a "knucklehead"...all the middle school and high school kids are still wearing shorts. Well got to go...have a great night.
