Family time catch up

It’s been a while since I’ve shared family photos with you, so here are some that have piled up on my phone.

Kyla playing her new guitar

When we were on vacation, Kyla’s Uncle Alex gave her a guitar. She really loves it. She wants to play guitar and sing.

Last week I received a package from my cousin, Gary Puckett; it was his new CD, Grandfather Mountain. Time and geography have distanced Gary and I, and we were thankfully reconnected recently through Facebook. When I was a teenager, I knew Gary was a skilled guitar player, he was one of my brother’s teachers. I eventually learned he was also a phenomenal banjo player. I only recently learned that he composes music as well!

Spring Breaks 2015 - more then one and lots of fun - Jessie At Home - Pin 1

Spring Breaks 2015 – more then one and lots of fun

That’s right. Spring breakS. Pural. Last week the girls were on spring break, and the week before it was Doug. It’s such a bummer that they do not have the same spring break. But we make the most of it. Doug took 3 days during his spring break off of his second job (tutor for Huntington Learning Center) so he would have more time with the girls. They loved when he would pick them up from school and then be home the rest of the day.

Box Car Races! and other fun

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend my friends!

When I trudged downstairs yesterday morning, this is what greeted me:

Kyla-making-a-car

Kyla had swiped a Coats box I was planning on sending some stuff to a friend in, and the tubes from some Baker’s Cotton that I had used recently. She was having too much fun for me to be upset. I was planning on giving the tubes to the girls for crafts anyway!

Bouncy, Jumpy, Crazy fun!

I’ve been getting so much done! It is nice to be more streamlined. Yet there is still so much to do. A lot of what I have done over the past week has been behind the scenes stuff. I still have to go through a lot of my old posts from before I made the move over to Wordpress, add in the tech stuff, back up the photos, and fix some links. It’s mind~numbing~ly dull, but it should help get … Read more

Imagine-John-Lennon

John Lennon!!! The exhibit was in Montclair. I love going to Montclair, it’s a great city, with awesome art and stores. So it was not surprising that they ended up with the exhibit. It’s only up for the weekend.
