Wow I love the hair! What a big girl. We may be moving too, and will have to do it our selves. We keep getting the run around with housing and hope to find out today. We checked out a nice home in the same town we are in now so the kids can go to the same school and everything but it is over BAH by $300. We hope to find out more soon. If we stay in our current house then we have to have a fenced in yard.

Annika, really like the new haircut. Love the Flip camera, Rachel. It is so neat to see a minute of your life in real time. Didn't see any packing boxes in the background. Good luck with the move. Love to all.

What a happy family! I love your new hair-do, Annika. You are one beautiful, little girl. You're growing up so fast.

I'm so thankful for your flip camera - it makes my day to look at my grandchildren! Thank you!

I LOVE it! But it makes her look older! I could actually get the pic at work!

I love it too! She definitely looks more grown-up.

Leah giggled too when she saw the video and saw Annie jumping around and giggling, and waved to her (like always!).

The trouble with being the last to see these videos is, all of the good superlatives have been used up. I do see Will in the background marching on his back to a different drummer. Take care and good luck on the move.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
