The Twins and A Move

I asked Abby to pose with the pretty "Hawaii Crown", but she wanted to hug a pillow instead...and we thought Aunt Adrienne was wierd!
Thomas dressed as Lord Vader for Star Wars and Popcorn day.

This week has been so fun and exciting. I loved, loved, loved, having Abby and Thomas every day. I think it's questionable who had more fun, Marti in Maui, or those of us who "vacationed" at home. When Abby and Thomas first arrived they promptly sat at my kitchen table and gave me a list of what they wanted to eat including chocolate and Red Vines. Tuesday I took the kids ice skating. They were fantastic and even tried a few dips. We had a wonderful Star Wars and popcorn day on Wednesday. We started with Star Wars school in the morning and advanced to Episode III by lunch. Can anyone name the Jedi with the purple sword? Thomas can. Abby got a new bride's dress, though she was shy for the camera. Friday was moving day!!! Finally the Brockbank project is moving into phase II. We will be living in the Parkway house until further notice. Abby did NOT like moving. She thinks it's very boring.

We're off again for another adventure this week, so stay tuned.

I'm so glad that you all had so much fun! I had fun, too-but missed everyone so much. I was always excited to talk to the kids each night to see what they did with aunt Katie that day. Knowing that they were with someone they love and trust and that I love and trust made it easier to be away from them for so long. THANK YOU so much!

How come nobody loves or trusts ME? Hmmph! Love the Lord Vader day. That would have been fun. Mace Windu has a purple sword (because he asked George Lucas if his could be purple and Lucas said, "sure"). Purple was a sweet pick!

Snaps for Erin, Master Windu wields a purple saber. And, by the way, everybody loves you!!! As far as the "trust" issue I refer you to the blog Free Parking, the Wednesday February 6, 2008 posting #2.

Hmmmm. Weird. I doubt Abb came up with that one on her own.....

I guess nobody love me, everyone just thinks I am weird, or at least Katie convinces everyone that I am weird.

Exciting week for you! I am glad to take a tour of your house this last weekend. I really like your temporary home. I especially like that it is right next to Marti and Tony. This will be so fun for all of you!
