Riley pic of the day

Doesn't she look like she wants to beat someone up?? ...A face only a mother could love :-)...

Some things going on around the house!

Here are some pictures of things going on around the house...well outside the house! We got some solar lighting and added bulbs and a hosta to our wall garden!

Richie is working on a new wall in the front of the house.

Here's our mailbox with the flowers, flag, light, and new house numbers. Isn't it pretty?!

Happy Easter!

This year for Easter we went to my parents house and began with Blessed Breakfast, which is a Polish/Slovac tradition. We had hard boiled eggs, kielbasa, pork, and bread....all cold. Yummy! :-) The rest of the day we hung out outside because it was absolutely gorgeous! The dogs all got to play together in the backyard and were exhausted by the end of the day. As for dinner, we had ham with all the fixings! A great, warm Easter Sunday with family!

my grandmother was freezing!!

a pic proving that it was gorgeous outside!

smile Richie!

Riley enjoying her playdate with her cousins!

New Mailbox!

Yes everyone, the leaning tower of mailboxes is gone! Isn't the new one pretty? Once we're positive it won't get too cold anymore at night, we will be planting flowers in the planter!

Friendship Bread

Yummy Amish cinnamon bread that has to be shared amongst friends and neighbors. One of our neighbors had given it to us (and I am a sucker for these things). You have to mush it and add ingredients for 10 days before you split the batter, share with others, and then bake it for yourself! It came out really good. My parents were given it by me and they offered it back to us. It was too good to say no...only problem is that I now have to think of 4 more people to pass it on to. Oh yeah- and if I do pass it to you, don't forget to add the vanilla pudding (hmm..MOM!)
