Happy Indenpendence Day!

We’re having an impromptu barbecue over here – I think there is literally ONE guest! Oh well, that’s what we get to throwing together a part on Wednesday!

Happy Easter!

Posted by kelerr on March 23, 2008

We’re spending the day at Pam’s with the Easter cake! (I’m pretty sure there’s an egg hunt planned too…)

Now I’m off to find a good Easter dress!

Preparing for Easter… in 2001!

Posted by kelerr on March 22, 2008

Since I haven’t colored Easter eggs probably SINCE these pictures are taken, these will have to do as far as Easter prep pictures go. Here are Thomas and Robert in 2001, at ages almost 6 and 4 respectively, dying Easter eggs with me.

The Easter Cake!

Posted by kelerr on March 22, 2008

Here’s the cake for tomorrow’s Easter festivities at Pam’s:

I spent the morning preparing it – well, really about an hour because it’s really easy to make. Here are some photos of the process.

Are you drooling yet?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Posted by kelerr on February 14, 2008

Here’s what I was doing last year around this time:

Stuck in the schoolyard helping my friend Jackie try to get her keys out of her locked, turned-on car! It was quite the adventure and a slightly depressing Valentine’s Day turned into one that will be hard to top!

Trying to get the keys out!

Me in the snow!

My friends Michelle and Amanda in a snowball fight!

It really was quite the afternoon. We had the janitor trying to pry open Jackie’s window with a hanger, the rest of us helping to push the staff’s cars out of the snow (and falling in the process!), and a whole score of both helpful and not-so-helpful people!

New Year’s Eve Fun!

Posted by kelerr on January 11, 2008

Okay, so New Year’s Eve was ten days ago and I’m only now getting the pictures up (though I’d guess that’s a good average for most, but VERY poor for me!). We didn’t take many, but goofed around with the camera on my work laptop.

Here are me, Emily and Colette (Jordan’s girlfriend), playing with PhotoBooth before all the guests arrived.

We have no idea where Kara was during this photo session which is unfortunate, as I feel this is an activity she would have enjoyed. Oh well… perhaps next time!
