I've Been Tagged

The Queen of Bling, aka Nancy Jones, has tagged me on her blog, what fun!

10 Years Ago Today....
I was getting all of my last minute wedding plans in place and probably stressing a little! I was married to my husband on July 5, 1998.

5 Things on today's "to-do" list:
1-Take my son to "stick time" at the ice rink. He started ice hockey one week ago and now wants to go practice shooting every minute he can.
2- PACK!! We are leaving for Niagara Falls and a trip back to my hometown to visit my grandparents and my father tomorrow night after hockey lessons. 6 hour drive tomorrow night, argh, and that's only the beginning of the drive!!
3- Buy an anniversary card!
4- Write up instructions for dog sitter
5- Clean out car

Snacks I enjoy...
Chocolate!!!
Smores
Cheetos
Town House Crackers w/cream cheese

Things I would do if I was a millionaire...
- Take a world tour being sure to hit Greece, Italy, and the Far East! My aunt has spent her life travelling and I always wanted to do so. Now with three kids, it isn't so easy!
- Stop worrying about my NJ property tax bill!!
- Get my mom to move closer so the kids could really get to know her. They only really see her once a year so they have no real sense of who she is.

Places I have lived:
Youngsville, PA
Warren, PA
Wellesley, MA
Philadelphia, PA
Cherry Hill, NJ

Finally

Finally he can swim!!! He won't go without the scuba goggles but at least he is swimming. "Mom, if I don't wear these goggles, water will go up my nose." I think trying to only breathing OUT of your nose instead of both in-and-out is like teaching a child how to blow their nose...no matter how many times you go over the process, they just don't get it! So he'll use the goggles....the rest will come in time (we hope).

Baseball

This was my son's first year of baseball...no more t-ball for this guy. Thankfully the season ended last week. He had a lot of fun but when only one or two kids can actually field the ball, the games tended to run a little long for those of us in the cheering crowd. Needless-to-say, it is time to get at least a few of the hundreds of pictures I took into his scrapbook. Thanks to my friend Jing-Jing at Scrapbook Obsessions, I was inspired to do this layout based on a Becky Fleck sketch. 6 pictures down, 300 to go!!



Sorry, the picture I took is a little lopsided!

First Post

It only seems fitting that I introduce my blog site and post a layout of my three beautiful children. This was done back in February '08 but it was a picture that I had readily available.
