A Moment of Silence Please...

Today it happened again. Another favorite blog went "password protected" with only family and close friends admitted. Please join me in a moment of silence for Donna's public blog Double Happiness. I knew Donna from our DTC group. I watched her meet both of her girls through her blog. We will miss your wit and wisdom, Donna. We will miss your amazing photos of your beautiful children. We will miss your FFFF (Friday Photo Challenge). We will miss you! Damn, I'm depressed enough to were a black arm band!

Anyone else going to break my bloggin' heart this week? I need to mourn...

How Good of a Friend Are You?

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Fun

You are energetic, amusing, and always up for a good time.
Optimistic and genuinely happy, you help people see the sunny side of life.

And you're always up for a party... no matter how big or small.
You're usually the first one to celebrate a friend's success.

Anyone who's interesting or fun is welcome in you circle of friends.
You're not the type of person to exclude or make fun of someone who's a little different.

Your friends need you most when: They're down or depressed

You really can't be friends with: Anyone who's stuck up or chronically unhappy

Your friendship quote: "It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."

Let The Waters Flow

Still not feeling like "talking" yet. Just letting the waters flow and not fighting the current anymore. Just keep swimming...

Can You Say "Paris"?

...I knew you could! But who needs words when you have friends with passports and a camera! The Traveling Trio spent a couple of days in Paris recently. Here they are playing in traffic at the Arc de Triomphe. Kieren said they were very careful and didn't leave the sidewalk. They had so much fun waving to the drivers and blowing kisses!

Wow! Notre Dame! Linlee said she and Rachel enjoyed screeching and hearing their echo! Kieren laughed so hard she needed a diaper change!! They were sad they couldn't stay longer, but the tourists didn't seem to share their joy in verbal resonance.

Oh well! Moving on to bigger and better things. Kieren LOVED the Louvre!!!! She was fascinated with the art, but really loved the building! The girls tried to bring home a special painting for each of their Mommies, but the guard had other ideas. Good thing the girls are so cute!

What's a girl to do while in Paris???? Well, shop of course! Rachel said these little shops in Sacre Coeur had the best gifts!!!! Unfortunately, Linlee's credit card wasn't working so the Mommies didn't get anything. Good thing the girls had cash for their food! Not to fear, the card seems fine now!

And what trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower at sunset?! The girls said they went to a really neat cafe for coffee and pastries that evening, but the memory card on the camera was full. Of course Linlee and Kieren had too much coffee before their flight, but this time Rachel also had too much! From what I can understand, it was a wild and crazy flight home!!!! I know Kieren is still tired, but she has a huge grin on her face whenever she thinks I'm not looking! I wonder where the girls will go next?!

Why-Is-It Wednesday...

Back by popular demand (I got the hint, Becky!), it's "Why is it..." Wednesday again. So here we go:

(from my Mom) Why is it when I smell a nasty odor, my husband blames the cats? Funny how the smell follows him through the house.

(also from my Mom) Why is when my husband is home alone and there is mud tracked through the house, he blames the indoor cats?

Why is it a huge pop-up thunderstorm hits AFTER the kids get in the pool? Why can't it hit BEFORE so I don't have to drag them out (kicking and screaming) and change their clothes after 5 minutes of pool-time??

Why is it people love to piss me off some days?????

And why is it some people love to "rub salt" into an open wound?

Now it's your turn. Let's hear it! I'm going back to hide under my desk.

Not Blog-worthy Tonight...

This is how I feel. Stuck on the wrong side of the glass, in a rain storm, alarm turned on, looking in at the place I wish I was, alone. Yep. Says it all.

Cullen & Kieren

It's SUMMER!!!!! With Cull home, Kieren has her favorite "toy" available 24/7!!!! Boy is she happy!

Cullen likes to kiss Kieren until she screams with laughter!

Swim lessons. Not sure why Kieren looks so shocked! Maybe she just noticed we're strange or something.

More swim lessons. Looks like these two are plotting something big!

Cullen made cookies last week by himself! Butter cookies with strawberry jam and a peanut-butter glaze. Kieren just enjoyed making a mess! Oh, yeah. They are definitely mine!!!!

My Mom took in a couple of stray cats last year. Well, one of them had 4 kittens 2.5 weeks ago. Ian likes my cats so we wanted to see what he thought about the kittens.

"What's that?"


"Ooooo. Soft!"


"ACK!!! IT MAKES NOISE!!!!! IT MOVES ON IT'S OWN!!! ACK!!!!"


"Okay. This is better. I'll look, but you can't make me touch!"
