Our Recent Company...

My sister Jenn and her sweet little boy "Punchy" came to visit from Wisconsin. We had the pleasure of them staying with us and Mark captured photos of his little bubble bath in our kitchen sink!

We also took one of him wearing his new Yooper style hat!

Michael is growing so quickly, changing every second!

WE can't wait for his next visit!!

Week Three....Complete

So I've completed week three of my college experience...
it's getting tougher now. Trying to balance homework and housework and the kids and meals and Mark...
I'm learning my schedule still and have to figure out what that priority thing is all about. I'd like to master some great easy to prepare meals that don't taste like they came out of a box.

It will get easier as I get more organized. That is my goal for this weekend...GET ORGANIZED JILL...quit being such a lazy....

Well I included this picture since it's the current background for my new computer. It makes me smile for two reasons:
1. I love everyone in the photo
2. I love Italian food and this guy really knows his stuff

Here's to a productive weekend!
I will post new pictures of Trevor now that his football season has started. Funny how when I first started our blog he was starting his 7th grade season! Wow!

Back to SCHOOL

oh boy...I'm on my second week of school and learning once again how to balance it all.

The kids start school next week so I picture the three of us seated around the dining room table, working on homework and eating Little Caesar's pizza.

Mark promises me a home-cooked meal at least one of the nights that I have night class!

I will keep you posted as to how that turns out. He's pretty good at making eggs and his pancakes are melt-in-your-mouth good!

Hopefully I can post a photo of Trevor and Sophie with first day of school smiles!!

Reunited and it feels so good...

What a fun weekend! Mark and I joined my classmates for a stroll down memory lane..or should I say a float down the Portage canal...

We celebrated our 21st reunion with dinner at the DT followed by a lovely cruise aboard the Keweenaw Star.

It was great to catch up with classmates and share old stories while learning what's new as well.

The years keep passing us by but we still look the same as we were in high school, or at least we all act the same!

Go Gremlins! "Hail..hail the orange and black..."

Goofy For Sure....Trevor at his best!

"Let me entertain you...let me make you smile..."

Sophie Turns 9!!!

Sophie turned 9 years old on June 28, 2009!!

Our little millenium baby!

We had a fun little party with her at Grandma Dorothy's since Aunt Jenny and little Michael were visiting from Wisconsin.

She's excited to have an outdoor camping/swimming/silly girl party later this summer!

Yeah Beans and Punchy!!

We had such a great visit with my sister Jennifer and her sweet little boy Michael (aka: Punchy) recently! He is the most well-behaved, mild-mannered, little guy! Such a sparkling personality like his mother...or quite possibly his Aunty Jill! :D

We can't wait for their next visit!
