Happy Birthday Muffin!

14 Sep 2008 by

We love you Gianna (a.k.a Muffin, Little Muffin, Muffin Mix, Muffin Moo, Muffin Puffin)!  It’s so hard to believe that you’re already a year old!  It’s been such a blessed year. Thank you, Lord!

Today after the most beautiful Mass of the Triumph of the Cross at St. Louis, we took the kids out to the Children’s Museum since it was Free Museum Day in Austin.  Then we came back home and celebrated Gianna’s birthday with her Godparents.

I think if Fulton becomes a bus driver…I’ll probably start walking.

“Mom, hurry up and take the picture so I can have my cake!”

“Now this is what I’m talking about…” (this was her 2nd piece.)

“I can have my cake and eat it and lick the plate too!”

Kindergarten Week 4

14 Sep 2008 by

Last week was pretty uneventful outside of Mary’s Birthday party.  The cutest thing Therese did was during our shared writing time.  She drew a picture of her, Jesus and Mary.  And she: “Me and Jesus hanging out in the Glory of God.”  Very cute–when I can figure out how our scanner works, I’ll share it.

Fulton and Therese also started Atrium (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd) at “Miss Jackie’s” house.  This weeks’ homework is to get the kids to “interrupt” adults that are talking but quietly and simply putting their hand on the adult’s arm without saying a word.  Therese’s has it down…Fulton is another story.

Microsoft, It’s All Clear Now

14 Sep 2008 by

I shared with my beloved the other night Microsoft’s latest Seinfeld/Gates commercials and asked for her take on them, seeing as most of the nation is having trouble deciphering the message. She didn’t have much to add until tonight when we saw one of Apple’s Mac/PC ads on television after which I commented “See, I understood the message. The comparison was clear. It was short and humorous.” Without missing a beat Sharon following with “Oh, now I understand Microsoft’s commercials. Like the product, they over-complicate something that should be easy to understand and straightforward.”

True words.
