GO CYCLONES!!

Yes, we aren't giving up even though we know they lost...and seriously, the game was painful to watch. But even so, we still have Cyclone gear on around here!


This was Andrew on his way to school Friday. The kids and teachers all wore their Iowa/ISU gear. His teacher sent me this picture in an email on Friday when I was at school and it made my whole day...

Doesn't he just look so grown up compared to the other kiddos?? They have chubby bellies and baby faces, and Andrew just looks like such a big boy! I just laughed and laughed when I got this picture. The boy in the middle cracks me up, like, "What on Earth are you doing this for???" and Andrew is just looking like, "yeah, I know what a camera is...my mommy does this to me all the time!" LOL!

When I went to pick him up I took some more pictures of him and got one of him and a favorite teacher... hmmm, I wonder WHY she's his favorite teacher???


We did tell her she had the wrong shirt on, though! Oh well, she's a pretty girl, and in Andrew's book that's all that matters!

I want to take a moment to thank all of you for making your way over to the blog world with me. I am still learning, and discovering MANY cool things about blogging that I LOVE and that carepages just frankly doesn't offer. I have been toying with this idea for a while now, and the latest troubles with carepages has just been the last straw. I thought I'd venture into the blog world and try it out. I'll admit... it's different. And for me, change is hard. I loved carepages (and I'm not saying I'm never going to use it again, because I probably will). But there are so many other things I want to use it for (decorating, recipes, etc), and blogging just seemed like the answer.

Another reason I am hesitant to blog, is that we LOVE getting comments on the carepage, and I am not sure you will all be as encouraged to leave messages here. I have found it isn't as easy to do so, but I promise I'll pass along information as I learn new things, so you can be familiar with the changes as well. I am sure there is an easier way I just haven't discovered yet. And how about for today's post, I challenge everyone who reads this to attempt to leave us a message...let us know you've stopped by, and let ME know if you figure out an easy way to post a message! :) Is it a deal?

I will continue to post an update on the carepage whenever I update this blog, that way you will know I have updated until I figure out a way to have the blog notify you. I will also post medical stuff on the carepage, and probably here too. Let's face it, reading the carepage just isn't going to be as much fun without the fun pictures and videos to go along with it! So that is why I've decided to move on. For now.

Thanks for checking in on us, and welcome to our blog!
