So a couple of weeks ago I came home to this! Hail everywhere. I was visiting my sister and heard about the hail. When I got home I wondered what the white stuff was and took a closer look and realized that it was hail. It was so bad that it put a hole in our mailbox. Some of it was the size of a golf ball. I was so surprised. Enjoy the pics!

I Wanted to post a couple of weeks ago but delayed. Sorry. Here is a picture of Jocelyn's birthday cake. Thankfully the picture looks better than the real deal. It started great, but I finished it in the evening and the humidity messed with the frosting. But it tasted great!


















And there are also some birthday pictures as well. She loves balloons, so I bought her a few. She was so happy! It's amazing how fast they grow. I love it. We had a joint birthday bash with a cousin, so that was a lot of fun as well.

My Weekend

So this past weekend we went out to Rochester. We had a great time visiting family. Our main purpose in going was because we were going to see Wicked, the musical. It was so fantastic. I don't even think I can describe it. And the plot was so great. I've had the cd, but some of the songs aren't on there because it would ruin the plot if you never saw it. I heard it's coming to our town next year some time, so I would love to see it again. For all of you wondering if you should see it, yes. Even if your spouse won't go with you, take a friend. It's amazing.

It's a .....

Baby!! We are thrilled. Oh, right you knew that. Ok, we'll tell you the gender. We are very excited to tell you we are having a little baby girl!! I think Jocelyn will be thrilled to have a new playmate. I know that I was and still am close with my sisters. So now comes the hard part; Naming this child. That's so tricky for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? And remember our last name. It can't be funny with that.

Thanks for the input.

My birthday

So, this picture describes everything about a birthday. Eating the icing on the cake. Jocelyn was staring at the icing and so I grabbed her finger and let her swipe it. Yummy!! I was fortunate enough to have a great friend and some family come on my birthday and make the best Ham and potato soup. Wow!!! Then Mom and Dad came later that night. We put Dad to work on Saturday installing a light, and putting in outlets in our basement. Yea!! We have more to do, but I think that Dan now knows what to do. I think it's much easier learning by doing than by reading a book.

We had a great Memorial Day as well. We started out with a breakfast supporting our scout troop. Good food. Then we had a large picnic for our entire church in this area. It was good to see some friends. Jocelyn played on the playground for about 3 hours!! She had a blast. She loves the slides the best, I think. Well, tomorrow is the big day, the day we hopefully find out what we're having. Yes, we know it's a baby (for all you smart alecky type out there) but we have our ultrasound. So, we will be posting from Mom's and Dad's house and let you know!! We are so excited! And we get to see Wicked on Saturday!!!!! My birthday present.

Stay tuned until tomorrow.

Week of Fun

So the week of the 4th, Jocelyn and I went out to visit Mom and Dad. We had a blast and on Wednesday we were able to visit some friends who owned a horse. Jocelyn sat on it and got right off. But later when others were riding a bit, she became more brave and so she went for a ride as well. She had a blast!


















And then on Saturday we had our Tulip Festival in Albany. We walked around a bit and saw a ton of tulips. I took a bunch of pictures of Jocelyn smelling flowers and being with Daddy. He was away on a business trip all week, so she missed seeing her Daddy.

I finally decided to get on board the blog train. It's such a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. So this is my initial post.
