Catching Up

I hope you haven't given up on me. We have been without a computer for a few months. Thanks goodness for the blackberry and email access! After dealing with the laptop and putting off having it fixed for months, we finally sent it in and, of course, they couldn't fix it. We went and picked out a new one last night--happy we had the extended warranty--and I am up and running with a shiny new desktop. Can't say I don't miss the laptop but we will hopefully have far fewer problems this time! I have lots to catch you up on!

We went to the Science and Industry Museum with Alli, Matt, and Nana. We had fun but not so sure Matt was in his element!

We had a great time celebrating Cari's birthday in Feb. We went to a local bar for dinner and festivities. Emma wanted to take pics of mom and dad all dressed up. Doesn't happen too often!The Birthday Girl!Cari and her Hubby, Andy.Blue Steel...I think.Emma and her Grandparents had a great Grandparent's day at school. Emma drew a very realistic picture of everyone. Papa had chest hair in his picture so he is going to be sure to button up his shirt all the way from now on! Sorry dad--Emma likes details!Couldn't get this pic to turn the right way but notice Lenny the Crab has a band-aid. He was bit by a shark! The nana's had to empty their purses for this project!We went bowling for Alli's birthday. Emma beat my score (which doesn't take much) and even got a few strikes--notice the high five. Emma is definately papa's girl!
Emma went a birthday party at Backyard Adventures and had lots of fun until...

A few too many times around on the tire swing. Can you tell she was a little green? It's not a party 'til someone pukes! She snapped out of it pretty fast and was able to enjoy the pizza and ice cream!Emma lost one of her top front teeth! The permanent tooth is almost in now and the other front one is loose. She looks so different now, I wonder what happened to my little girl.

We had a girls night a few weekends ago and had sooo much fun. We went to a Tapas bar first and the bartender was so nice and bought us all this amazing shot called a Rainbow Bright. I already loved it because of the name and how pretty it is but it tasted so good. I have been searching for the recipe but no luck so far. We just may have to go back ;) It was a great night and a very interesting cab ride home! We are all going out again this weekend but this time the guys are invited. I'm sure they will keep us in line! Felicia, Me, Jen, Jess.
