Building a patio

I'm in the middle of a few projects (Michelle is not a fan of this). One is a new patio in the back of the house. Tilia has been eager to help! Acer and Salix have been helping to keep the pavers clean with their water pistols.

Happy Easter!

Just a quick shout out to all fam/friends. Cold as it was, the kids enjoyed hunting for Easter baskets and the adults enjoyed Michelle's creation - Chicken Wellington. Like an Easter egg, but for adults.

Up north for birthday parties.

We went off to Doug and Jane's new place on the Black River this weekend for celebrations of two `1 year old cousins - Evan and Rylan? I'm not certain about the spelling, nor was he. Tilia played nice - and didn't make strange. T-zilla and Ry Kong wreaked havoc for all fischer-price family members. Bodies and cars were everywhere!

Any of you who read this blog regularly know I love food. Let me inform you here: Doug knows how to make up some tasty scrambled eggs and pancakes. Michelle said I could eat breakfast for her because she didn't feel much like eating.

I'm reduced to this?

I have mad mind reading skills - and I'll quote Goliath.

"I'm a Great Dane. A Great Dane! - you hear me? Great! It's not...Sufficient Dane~! This posing with a mini football is sooo beneath me. Go get a Beagle if you want this type of crap!"

Did I say "direct quote"?

messing around

I've made a website -no, not this one.

I've actually created a website for Midwest Gymnastics Center. Learning HTML and CSS lingo isn't as complicated as it may seem. I'll give you the url when it "goes live" - I even know some industry jargon! Look out Google, Yahoo, Magellan.com, Dog pile, Search.com, Go.com, Northern Lights.com, webcrawler.com, lycos.com..........seriously, I don't think they have much to worry about. Acer and I have kept busy lately doing the needed yard work. I don't think anybody digs a better hole in the dirt than Acer.

Been awhile...Tilia = 8 months old!

Here is Tilia helping me change a jug of water into the cooler. She is closer to 7 months in this clip, but who's counting. I joke that when I teach genetics to middle school kids I must forget about Tilia. She doesn't seem to have any genes from me. Straight up 100% Michelle.
