Work and Play

Valerie bought Sean a jump ramp on Saturday. It was so nice of her and Sean and his friends have been playing with it every day.













They tear up the driveway, go up over the ramp, turn around and circle back. Then they do it again.











Zoooooom.













Here is Jake working on his truck. That's not fun.

Bye for now.

Update 4/22/07

Hey everyone, sorry, no pics today. Just a quick update on what everybody is doing.

Jake had 4 wisdom teeth pulled out on Monday. All went well and he was back on his feet in no time. He was a bit loopy right after the Dr. finished, which was the best part for me. He is working toward graduation, taking EMT classes, working at the paint store and running a bingo night at the firehouse. Keeping busy agrees with him.

Sean is doing well in school, playing soccer, piano & finishing up an animation/movie class. We get to see the finished film this Wednesday. He has expressed an interest in taking fencing classes, so I'm checking into it. That seems like a good sport for him.

Jeff is in Texas for a bit. I don't want to be too specific with the details in case there are any robbers or murders reading my blog. Anyway, he has been busy working and coaching soccer and being an all around good guy.

As for me, I know nobody cares, but I'll just say that work is really cutting into my "ME" time. Sean and I are going to Hershey Park soon, with plans to join Jake, my mother and Danny, as well as many of our dear friends. We always have fun when we go there.

Scarlet is doing great. Yoda has completely recovered from his injury. The hard part is keeping him in the house, he's pretty crafty. Tangles seems to be happy and Fran is a pain, but cute.

Now that I have thoroughly bored you all, I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
Be Kind,
Amy

Easter

My postings are become fewer and fewer lately. There is so much going on, ALL THE TIME, and I'm bad about taking pictures. Anyway, this is the first year, ever, that we did not dye Easter Eggs. Nobody wanted to do it. It's sort of freeing though, to not have to slave away over the "traditions". Don't get me wrong, I loved doing all that stuff when the kids were younger, but this is great too. I did make Easter baskets for Jake and Sean. This picture was taken after most of the items were removed. I make really good baskets, so they were cleaned out pretty quickly.











Now, for our recent tragedy. Poor Yoda developed an abscess on his leg. We took him to the vet, where it was announced he had a fever and an infection. So, he was sedated, leg shaved, abscess lanced, money paid. He's on two antibiotics, which I have the pleasure of administering twice a day. He's pretty good about it. His leg looks funny.







The strange thing is this: he and Frannie have been best friends these last few months. When Yoda came home from the vet, she's treating him like he's a different cat, hissing and creating drama. It's always something.










All our felines, back a long time ago when it was a nice day. They are so darn cute.
