TGIF!

Hi buds....Just thought I would drop a line and say hello. Glad its friday. Not much going on here. Had a busy week...little catastrophe with some packages being delayed to Iowa for a demo due to the ice storm in KY. They finally got there but, it was a little stressful as this was a big demo I worked on with a lot of effort on presentation books etc. It all worked out and all is well again. Just been busy at work...trying to run with Jaimie on Tuesdays/Thursdays at crane's roost and hit gym with Kirk (he and I have not been very successful this week). I am really enjoying being on facebook...connecting with old friends and seeing what people are up too. It is addicting :o).

Not much going on this weekend. Little bit of chores/errands. I may go to lunch and a movie with Sarah tomorrow as I have not seen her since preparing for Fr Pats at Christmas. Kirsten, Scott, and boys are coming over for dinner tomm night. Not doing much for super bowl...just watching it at home and relaxing. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. I know Turn is super excited about the game :o). Hows-glad that you are home safe from Cincy...that is some crazy weather, huh?

XOXO - Krame

Cast is gone....

Sean got his cast off yesterday! YIPEE!! CELEBRATE!!
His calf is a little smaller than the other one and a bit whiter--if that is possible! HA HA.
He is still in an ankle brace and he walks slow but the doctor said he can do the physical therapy at home so that is good and saves us some money.
We are all set to visit the parents next week. Sean has never been to the Grand Canyon so he is super excited.
I will take tons of photos and post the good ones!!
Love ya!

My crazy monkey

Here is a video of Reagan from her birthday. I was so excited to buy this jeep for her, I just knew she was going to love it. Her first reaction-utter fear. I was so disappointed I almost cried. Finally, we coaxed her into it and she really likes it. I just wish she would get the steering part figured out.

I also updated her website with lots of new pictures.

We are having a pretty low-key weekend. Brian has been in Charleston all week, he gets home late tonight and I know wants to see his Reagan and relax. I have to work on Sunday and Reagan has a her Valentine photo shoot at the park.

Orlando Visit

We had a wonderful time in Orlando! I have great friends. Here are some photos. (i found the camera cord).

Out of Touch...Out of Time

No Turner, I'M the worst friend ever. I've missed little Reagan's birthday, didn't call anyone on Christmas and have only a decent excuse for it. I've been working, A LOT!! I've worked everyday(except Sundays of course) since last Friday and have 3 more days to go. No complaints because you can't beat the money but it's making it difficult to have a life. Fine by me, not fine by others.

So, Happy Birthday Reggae Bear, Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too. Now that I'm back in everyone's good graces... :-) I'll fill you in on our holidays. Nothing fantastic happened really. We just had lots of family time and the whole week went by very quickly. Angelina stole the show of course. The boys always say grace before dinner on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. After they were done Angelina screams out, "I have words." She just liked that she could command everyone to close their eyes and listen to her for a minute. She said thank you for the wonderful food on her plate for her mommy and daddy and brothers. Then she thanked Uncle Anthony and no one else. Very funny.

My mom later busted out with next year it would be okay if I go home with Elena for Christmas which came out of left field. I hadn't even mentioned that I wanted to go, just that it sucks that she and I have to be apart. That was kinda weird because my mom goes crazy about having everyone together for the holidays.

Besides all that our Christmas season online rocked and then on the 26th came to a screeching halt. Picking back up now though. Don't forget if you have any friends that have kids there are some great book sets for all ages here.

I fear I have nothing else really to report. Oh excet that for Christmas I got Elena a Wii and Wii Fit and it is by far the coolest thing ever. We've been working out every night and playing games too. By the way Turn, how do I play you online because EJ got it hooked up to the internet.

Super Bowl party details coming soon. Let's just pray the Giants win on Sunday so it'll be a great Super Bowl. :-)

THANK YOU-- and other news

I am not the worst friend ever--seriously.
Thank you all so much for the Outback gift cards and the Kohls gift card! I am so excited. They just opened a Kohl right down the street from my office. It is so nice! Plus Outback is so yummy. I might get "crutch man" to take me this weekend!!

Other news--
As I emailed you, Sean gave his notice yesterday. They accepted his two weeks notice. He might work 3 since they are in the middle of a trial but we don't know yet. This means there is a stronger chance we can come to O-town for MLK weekend. I will keep you all posted.

Finally, I went to leave for work this morning and my passenger window was smashed and my GPS was stolen. BUMMER! I was really pissed when it happened but I am calming down now. I am very lucky to work for a great company who is letting me work from home today so I can wait for the glass company to replace the window. Kylie is thrilled too. I even woke up early today to work out before work--now I am just sitting here!! :P

Love you all!

More catching up

Ok, it is just pathetic that no one has posted any pictures from Christmas? (myself included) What did you get, where did you go? I am sure Crissy has some hilarious stories from her holidays. Those twins and Angelina could fill a book with their hijinks's.

Here's what we've been up to...... Reagan had a great birthday and got so many goodies. She is a crazy girl and we are so in love with her. Here are some pictures of her actual birthday (we celebrated the weekend before). Brian and I brought cookies to her school and let the kids all have some.




After her birthday, Christmas came way too soon. We had a nice morning, just us 3, then went over to my Mom's for an early dinner. Except; Reagan napped at our house straight through dinner, so by the time we got to my mom's everyone was done, some had left and my mom gave us our food all packed up and ready to take home. We hung out there for a few and then came home, ate and went to bed. A pretty unadventurous day all in all. Here are some pictures of Reagan leaving cookies, milk and carrots for Santa and the reindeer. Also a few of her opening presents. What a lucky girl to get so much stuff in 2 weeks.

She is saying "Santa comes down here."

Popcorn and an airplane were the only things she actually asked Santa for, and he delivered. This is the popcorn, the airplane picture didn't turn out so well.

On Sunday the 28th we packed up our stuff, my mom's momma dog and 4 baby puppies (we were dog sitting) and headed down to Orlando for our 1st of 2 visits. This visit was to see Hannah, Madeline and Uncle Brad. The girls had a great time together and we went to Celebration and saw "snow" (soapy bubbles) and went on a horse and carriage ride. Here are some pics from that weekend.

This is the kiddies picking the oranges off the tree at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

New Year's eve was also pretty uneventful for us. We had steak for dinner, put Reagan to bed, stayed up till about 12:10am and went to bed. Then, Friday, we packed it all up again (minus the momma dog and babies) and went down to Orlando again. This time to see Brandon, Vivian and Gavin. Gavin is now 1 year old and such a cutie. He and Reagan played really well together and we all had a nice time. Here's a picture of the two of them in the tub. What a bunch of cuties.

Now it is back to the grindstone and no more present opening. Reagan just isn't going to know what to do when there aren't any gifts or relatives around next weekend.

Now: What's your New Year resolution(s)? Mine are to scrapbook more, loose 40 lbs, be a better wife and make the studios more profitable.
