Oops...

Yeah...you're going to need olive oil, hot water and a sponge to get those stickers off...I'd make sure the water's really hot...

Maddy's Dance Recital

Maddy and Mya did such a fantastic job at their first dance recital at USF with the New Tampa Dance Theatre this weekend!

Cameras were strictly forbidden at the event but as you know I'm not exactly the 'rule-following' type so I managed to grab a couple of little videos of Maddy doing her 'thang'...

Now if you failed to recognize her, don't feel bad because nor did I  :(. Just when exactly did she grow into a beautiful young woman? Was I in the restroom or something? You may find the next clip less emotional. It's Mike showing us last night that 'he can do tap too.' Yeah right Mike...

40 and Inspired!

I had such an unbelievably amazing time at 'Inspired' - Donna Downey's 4-day Art Retreat in Charlotte, NC. It was a birthday gift for my 40th from Michael and a complete surprise. I have no idea how he knew that I really wanted to go and it actually made me cry when he told me I was going :). More pics and artsy-fartsy stuff on the Crafts blog here!

Weekend at the beach

It was great to see Scott and Karrie and spend some time in St. Pete at the beach...now I've got the taste for a summer vacation...

Maddy's Rabbit

Every day when I get Maddy from school I eat an apple on the way and throw the core in the bushes when we get home. Apparently a baby rabbit has discovered this new food source and has taken up home right by our front door. It's amazingly tame and Maddy adores him...
