Xmas picture of all the Kids....

Today while in Estero - Mom, Dad and I met his brother (uncle Ted) and his family at the Picture People for our annual Christmas picture of us kids. OK, maybe not annual as this is our 2nd one, being the first took place in 2006. They are my cousins Michael 12, Billy 12, Maryann 10 and Mindy 17. Mom made this scrap book page for Mindy to print out, I hope she likes it because it really looks nice. Michael and Mindy are brother and sister and Billy and Maryann are brother and sister, so their are 2 sets here if anyone wanted to know. Maybe next time I will have my sister with me and we will be a set of 3.

this is the picture that Mom wanted to buy, so she got a 10x13


Today would have also been something special as Mom never lets my Dad forget, but if they were still married, today would have marked their 10th Anniversary! How can anyone not want to be married to my Mom? She's the greatest person I know, but at least she had my other Dad.

Dog and Chimney

Update on that little puppy dog! Today Mom came to school as it was a fun day for the whole school and she took pictures. She was helping out my 2nd grade teacher with there International Feast outside and was running between classes all day. Our class just read all day long. Mom came to my class first and set up her background chimney paper to take pictures later and then off she went to 2nd grade.

She said while in the empty class room with Mrs. M's kids the phone rang and she got a message saying a little girl in Mrs. N's class right across the hall from where she was was a little girl who lost her puppy. Mom went over to talk to the teacher and the little girl and come to find out, the puppy belonged to her. Mom then came to class to get me so that I can meet the little girl who lost her puppy. She was cute and her name is Leeann.

So anyway getting to the pictures below: This is what Mom took of my whole class but she's just showing me and my cousins. Meg is not in my class but Mom never leaves Meg out of a project. Mom is going to be making a Christmas project with my class next month as she brought 2 different things for the class to do and one of them require a picture. My Mom always treats the kids in my class good - I don't ever remember seeing any other Mom's coming to school and making projects like my Mom does....she's simply the BEST!!





So after we got home - the owners of the little puppy came by to pick him up. Mom and I talked to Leeann and her Mom Anna for a while about the puppy who's name ended up being "Spike", we called him "Seasons". It was such a happy moment for all of us and a little bit of tears along the way. Mrs. Anna said she put up a few flyers herself and had a reward out for her little guy and being we took care of him and she was grateful for his safe return, she had Leeann gave me a $100.00 bill - WOW I said and we said thanks. Mrs. Anna said we can come by anytime to see him. She was so very thankful that my Mom found him because most people would have kept him and Mom said we need to do the right thing and find his family and that's just what happened.

Lost little Puppy

My Mom found this beautiful little puppy this morning after she left school. It's a boy and he's a Chihuahua. Mom said after she left school she saw this little thing walking down the street and no one in site. He had a injured back left leg, she stopped the car got out and picked him up.

When I got off the bus - I saw my Mom holding this little puppy and wondered who's it was, when she told me she found it I was like REALLY!! I was in heaven with this little puppy. Mom was making up some flyer's to post around the school where she had found him so that the owner wouldn't be missing him too much more. We did have him for one whole day. But I have to say that night wanting to be close - I was starting to feel a little sick from him. I was sneezing like crazy and it wouldn't stop - I felt very sad because I was so hoping that my allergies were getting better but I guess not.

Harvest Table

This morning Sam walked up to the alter and placed some food in the Harvest Basket. He was the only child that morning who took in food.

2nd mid-term report

I can't believe Sam came home with another mid-term report. Where does the time go? He got 4 A's and 1 B - the b was in math, so it looks like we need to work with him on that a little more.

Playing Football

The 3 of us went outside last night to toss a football. Sam, has just a little problem catching a ball so we wanted to get him into some practice throws. he did pretty good. Then of course Dad got hit in the eye by the ball as Sam tossed it and the game was over. We played maybe 30 minutes and had fun.

Beach Day with Dad

Dad and Sam had a great time together as they both got to spend the weekend together just the two of them. Sam, said he enjoyed being with Dad - they did the movies, pizza, beach, played games and other things.
