Good morning everybody!  Just a note to prove I'm still here.  (And I get sick of having the same entry on top every time I go to see who else has updated theirs).  

There's the boys reading, ignoring me.  (They really like background noise.  

Then Tiana's puppy Scout, isn't he darling?  And megan!  We love her too!  

And last but not least, I found this picture of Jacob.  WAY back when he was little.

Brandon's Birthday!!!


On the left we have Brandon's birthday cake.  He is now Two!! 

On the right, Brandon in his wagon that Ben made 
for him.  He adores this wagon.  (I'll post more pictures of this thing). 

 Its' technically for the library, but in the last few days it's carried megan, Brandon, books, and just about everything else these kids can come up with.
  
Library time!
The boys had a lot of fun at 
The library 
the wagon got to carry books, videos, and basically make them feel "old."  

(Yes, Ben made it), and on the back is a license plate that says "Brandon."  Jacob has one too, but he won't get it until his birthday.  






Now we come to the fun stuff.  
On Sunday night, right after the cake, adrianna decided to "share" her medicine with Brandon.  


here he is, all wired.  It was actually kind of funny, he was so asleep that when we tried to sit him up to get the charcoal down him, his head flopped back like a rag doll.  

But alls well, and he's fine.  Leaving behind some nasty diapers, and some even better stories
That we get to tell his future girlfriends.

 This picture was taken at Shalene's reception, I don't know/remember who took it, but I like it anyway!!  Jacob has a funny look on his face though.

From left to right (back first), for those that need help, 
Ben, Megan, Me (Laura), Brandon, and Jacob is in front.

Love you all!!

Shalene got married, aren't they a cute couple???


The table on the right just made me smile.  I love the way the wood makes the heart.

That's all I wanted to say.  I just wanted to post a wedding picture.

(I have quite a few, I put together a slide show for the reception.)

Out by the skin of my teeth.

I know this isn't really "family" related....

But I talked an old co-worker today.  I worked with her at century 21, up until a month and a half ago.  She was let go today, so was all of customer service, and the receptionist, and the relocation assistant.

What will they do with  no receptionist?  What will they do with no customer service?  What will Melissa do with no job?  

And not just "let go", but the supervisor (not the boss), came in teary eyed to inform them the phone guys would be there in an hour to switch over the phones and they were out of a job.  The supervisor's assistant was her daughter, (also let go.)

So the boss saw one of the other girls come in an hour later, and didn't tell her.  He even said hi.  He waited for the supervisor to come in there and tell her she's out of a job.

Stinks!  

I feel bad for them though.  I'm just grateful I switched jobs before this happened.
