Muma Comes To Visit!!
Muma, Lily and Suzi did a lot of cuddling and video watching!


Oh. My.
I was preparing chicken at the sink at 10 PM the night before Muma was supposed to arrive and the light over the kitchen table blew up. Ray yelled from downstairs “everything okay up there?” Um, no? I thought I had been shot. The crazy little light bulbs for that light are extremely sensitive. You can only put them in with cotton gloves; the oil from your hands could ruin them. Well, we hadn’t put in a new light bulb in over a year so we wouldn’t really expect to hear from the light. Well, the little light bulb blew up with an amazing flash and then it blew the “protective” GLASS cover (also known as a globe) right in half and then that came crashing down on to the table and the kid’s booster seats. Thank goodness they weren’t sitting there. The fragments of glass actually burned the hardwood table and floor and melted into the trays on the booster seats. Someone was watching over us that night; we are just extremely thankful that the kids were in bed.



And now we have a light and fan combo in the kitchen. Thanks Muma for helping Ray hang it. You look a little scared...

So Many Gifts
Aunt Bev, Uncle Art, Muma and Grandpa all LOVE to spoil the kids. Here's a pic of Lily playing with her new sand table (filled with water...)in Jon's new paratrooper outfit. I'm not really sure how she ended up in Jon's clothes but they did fit! Although, now that they are washed, they fit Jon nicely.) Thank you Muma for all the wonderful clothes! These are two of the best dressed kids in town!

Hi Jennifa!
I had way too much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids have changed soooo much in such a short time. I couldn't believe it when Lily came to my room in the morning and said, "Muma, Lily turn on light for you?" She was just unbelievable! I love all of your pics (and mine too), but the black and white one of Jon is just too cute. The kids are gorgeous and just way too much fun to be with. I'm looking forward to your visit here with Lily, but I will miss Jon and Ray too! You'll just have to keep taking turns! It was a lot of fun to go shopping with you, and the kids are so easy to buy for. I can't wait to see a pic of Lily in her new suede boots! She's such a little lady. Well, thank you so much, not only for the wonderful visit, but also for keeping this sight up for all of us--I love you all!
