New Camera...

Thought I'd add the latest pix of Matthew and his girlfriend, Lisa...(when she isn't having an allergic reaction!) :~) He took this with his new camera... Aren't they darling...?!!!

Weight Loss...

Yes, I've lost a little weight in the past several months...I still have a long way to go...I've not been strictly on my program for the last 7 weeks, so I've not continued to lose, but the good news is I'm basically maintaining. I have to work at it and I desperately want to get serious again, but something always seems to come up...Matthew was home...the 4th of July...our town's summer festival...Cedar Point this weekend~ Excuses, Excuses, Excuses...right?!!! Oh, well...I'll get there...I can't go back...I've already gotten rid of my bigger clothes! :~) lol.

The New Miss Montpelier 2007

Okay, so this weekend we became the proud aunt & uncle of the new reigning Miss Montpelier 2007. Steve's oldest brother's daughter Emily Moore took the crown (she is his third daughter). His oldest daughter Rachel (far right) is the executive director of the pageant. His second daughter was 1st runner up a few years ago and the youngest has taken awards, as well when she was in it...! Caitlin thought she might be in it at some point, but we've learned that because she goes to school out of district she is not eligible. :~(

Matt & Caiti...

As their friends refer to them...(Can you see Caitlin's new braces...? If you can't, this is good...we paid extra for the transluscent ones! :~) She so glad to finally have them on.)

Our Babies...

All grown up...!!!

New Girlfriend...

So....when Matthew was home in June he brought his new girlfriend with him. Her name is Lisa Jorgenson and she grew up in San Antonio. She is just about to finish her second year with Teen Mania in August. While she was here in Ohio she had a really bad allergic reaction to something! We never did figure out what it was to and the thing was...she's never ever been allergic to anything. She was really miserable her last two days with us...she woke up with a swollen lower lip Saturday A.M. and as the day progressed her upper lip became really swollen as well. She broke out in big itchy welts all over her body. The benadryl made her sleepy, so bless her heart she slept on a blanket most of day at the state park. Later in the day we did have Matthew take her to an urgent care facility...I was frustrated that they did not give her a steroid shot, only a script that knocked her out...it wasn't until she got back to Texas that she was finally administered steroids and that stopped the reaction, but she suffered for 4 long days before she got any relief. :( In this pic her lips are swollen, but I think it's a really cute picture anyway! We were never able to take anymore though, because she was feeling so bad...And we were going to have her take our family pics on Sunday, but the meds had her knocked out. So as a result we were never able to get any "good" photos this time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!

Yes, 46 years ago today...little Stevie came into the world. And we're SO GLAD he did! We love, love, love you, hun!
