textiquette

Dan texted me : if we hit $X today we can have tomorrow off.

I texted back: you can do it! don't let anyone give up!

what he wanted to text back was: i know - i won't. Love you!

what he actually texted was: i know i won't love you




i texted back: you really ought to use punctuation.

dan gets old

We had a Vegas party for Dan-o in our basement. {This will explain the the half insulated walls that serve as the back drop for the pictures. And at some point basement dust got on my lens.} Our guests were invited to dress up and we were delighted with the results.

There was poker. And the real pros wore shades.

she decided to trade being an angel for a vegas bunny

party animals.


Somebody crashed the party. No, not my dad, he was invited.


There was some particularly moving karaoke.


yes indeed.


i'm not going to lie. it was difficult deciding on which of the many fab pictures to post of these two. they were just so darn photogenic.

there was some fierce table tennis. and the spectators were REALLY getting into it.
{patrick did the 'old man playing the slots' vegas. the straw hat you see dan wearing is his.}

you have to get a picture of this guy just to prove he was there.
he claims he didn't dress up but i think his bleached, mohawk/mullet says otherwise.


awww. carmen's baby is no longer a baby.


my dress was beaded in gold and rhinestones. it was returned two days later.


if it looks like people were having a good time - it's because they were!


the vegas look is just so glamorous.


old buddies.


dressed as a celeb doing vegas or, "looking like a homeless person."


sorry guys, i wish the only picture i had of you was cuter.


we actually used a cardboard cutout of dan to pose with all the gifts.
that's why he looks the same in every picture.


no pics, but my mom had her share of wicked karaoke moments.
my dad sang none.


wouldn't be a vegas party without the King.


and somehow he managed to blow them all out.

thanks to all that came! the party was a'rockin because you were there!

{i regrettably did not get pics of everyone. i was kinda pretty busy.
if you have some will you email them to me?}

Jude gets blessed


After a bout of RSV, trying to coordinate family travel schedules, and a handful of conferences, we just decided to bless judey at home. It was hectic and crowded but a lot of fun to have everybody there.

And after a constant parade of friendly faces....



















...the little guy was completely worn out!

{p.s. doesn't dan look like obadiah stane?}

I've been a busy beaver lately and an onslaught of photos testifying to the fact are coming soon.
